thanks...great way to solve....:) but i have my doubts. If i put in value of x as 20 and y as 80. the sum is 100 and the total passed are 51. Hence the percentage is more than 50%. Similarly as you have put in value of x as 20 and y as 40. the passing percentage is less than 50%. Similarly for premi...

Answer: D
mean = 10
sd = 0.3
"one standard deviation" = 1*(sd) = 0.3.
1 stdev range would be mean plus/ minus std Dev
Lower range:10 - 0.3 = 9.7
Higher range:10 + 0.3 = 10.3
6 numbers out of 8 fall within the range
Then 6/8 or 3/4 are within range
3/4 = 75%
Hence answer is D

B If a^x = b then a = b^(1/x) similarly b= c^(1/y) and c=a^(1/z) Put value of c in equation 2 b=[a^(1/z)]^(1/y) Therefore b= a^(1/(ya)) But b= a^x then A^x=a^(1/(ya)) Taking root x on both sides A=a^(1/(xyz)) Since bases are same powers would have to be same 1/(xyz) = 1 Xyz=1 Hence B is the correct ...

IMO A
Statement 1: even - even - odd is odd. Hence statement 1 is sufficient
Statement 2: what if two integers are odd try putting in 5,6 and 7 result would be even.
Also I try to put in -1,0,1 to check if the rule holds. In this case it does not. Hence statement 2 is insufficient

A
Plug in different numbers, we would get that only statement 1 is sufficient. Whereas statement 2 is insufficient

IMO B
Statement 1 plug in 1,2. This does not provide any concrete info. Statement 1 is not satisfactory
In statement 2lug in the lowest value y can have I.e 1. This results in the expression value in excess of 1000. Hence statement 1 must be correct.

IMO E Plug in 1 and 3 in statement 1. Both values satisfy. So no concrete answer can be obtained. Therefore equation 1 is not satisfactory. Factories statement 2. Two factors 1 and 3. Again no single answer? Hence statement 2 is not satisfactory. Combing both equations no additional info can be obta...
