the question asks which of the following COULD be the number of factors of K so the answer should be E as ri2007 explain and i agree with this explanation. If it asked which of the following MUST be the number of factors of K then the answer would be A because if N=1 then the number of factors K is ...

1.x=3*k where k is an integer. if x=3 then x-1=2 and x-1 is a factor of 104. if x=6 then x-1=5 and x-1 not a factor of 104. thus insufficient. 2. 27=x*m where m an integer. so x=27/m and since x is an integer positive, then x=1 or x=3 or x=9 or x=27. if x=1 then x-1 is not a factor of 104 but for th...

you dont have to pick numbers.....lets take the first one f(x)=1-x that means f(1-x)=1-(1-x) thus f(1-x)=x which is not equal to f(x). substitute and to the other equations and you will find the solution

1/35 is the answer. 1/5=7/35 , 2/5=14/35, 3/5=21/35, 4/5=28/35, and then convert 1/7=5/35 , 2/7=10/35 , 3/7=15/35 , 4/7=20/25 , 5/7=25/35, 6/7=30/35 so the least difference is 15/35-14/35=1/35

you have to do the calculations and then you will see that E satisfy the condition

if y=3x+2 contains (r,s) that means s=3r+2
1. (3r+2-s)*(4r+9-s)=0 then 3r+2-s=0 or 4r+9-s=0 insuff.
2. (4r-6-s)*(3r+2-s)=0 then 4r-6-s=0 or 3r+2-s=0 insuff
but combined 1+2 we get that 3r+2-s=0 so 3r+2=s sufficient

2. insufficient, we dont know if x+y>0

taken together again we dont know if x+y>0 but only that x>0 and y<0

the first part of the question is insufficient because if x=7 and there are 12 even integers between x and y then y=31 and between 7 and 31 there are 12 odd integers but if x=8 and there are 12 even between x and y then y=34 but there are 13 odd integers between them.

if x=7 then y=32 and k is the number of odd integers between 7 and 32 then k=12. if x=8 and y=33 then again k=12. thus in every case k=12, the answer is b

since it is an equidrateral ABC length is 2/3 of its circumference. that means 2/3 &#960;d=24 so d=36/&#960; where &#960; is 3.14 hence d=11
