Didn't the question stem indicated that each represents a DIFFERENT positive digit? That what through me off.
Does this mean that each has a different digit from the other and that digit is positive? or that each have any positive digit? Please clarify... This just sounds odd

If n is a positive integer, is n^3 - n divisible by 4?

If n is a positive integer, is n^3 - n divisible by 4?

1) n = 2k+1, where k is an integer.
2) n^2 + n is divisible by 6.

index ratio relationship

In a certain business, production index p is directly proportional to efficiency index e, which is in turn directly proportional to investment index i. What is p if i=70 ?

1) e = 0.5 whenever i = 60.
2) p = 2.0 whenever i = 50.

If [x] denotes....

If [x] denotes the greatest integer less than of equal to x, is [x] = 0 ?

1) 5x + 1 = 3 + 2x

2) 0 < x < 1



*St 1 gives me X so I know its sufficient. But I couldn't figure out the rest.

Thx

Thx.
I understood everypart of the explenation until:
"And that's it. The greatest prime number in h(100) is, therefore, 47. And that means the SMALLEST prime in h(100)+1 cannot be less than or equal to 47".

Can you please elaborate?

Is zero half way between S and R ?

1) I agree, not sufficient
2) I don't understand why it is insufficient.
Does S2 say that T-R=T-(-S) ===> T-R = T+S ====> R+S=0
Isn't this sufficient to know if zero is half way between S and R?

1st part: If they tell me that n is odd, it can be any one of these prime numbers and 2. So why is that incorrect, because it can also be just any of these primes and then it is even? 2nd part: you mean, because we know the range must be less then 6 need to figure which primes under 30 makes n<6 and...

Sequence DS

I tried to figure out why is this the correct answer but did not come across any satisfactory explanation.


When examining both statements I felt that both can be true. Please help...
