Fairly surprised why no one answered this question..Here's my take on it.. We can either pick numbers or go for reducing the options. I chose reduction.. II is the easiest to evaluate..lets go with that. a#0 = a+0 - a*0 = a - 0 = a. So II is true. Eliminate all except c and e. So, we need to evaluat...
here's how I went about it.. Noted all the equations possible: 4+x=1 4+y=1 4+z=m e+x=7 e+y=n e+z=10 f+x=2 f+y=-4 f+z=5 Isolated the eqns which have m or n - 4+z=m e+y=n Adding both - 4+z+e+y = m+n, our requirement. one eqn from the above set states e+z=10 So, 4+10+y = m+n Isolating the eqn which has...

so 6 is a probable answer.. What if x=-4?
The average would then be 4: (-4+2+4+8+10)/5 = 4; The median too would be +4. So we have two different answers. Wat say?

Choice B leads us to believe that the clauses (education being in the university, students being offered a broad range of courses) are on equitable terms, whereas, actually, the second part is a subset of the first part...Let me reword the sentence a bit to fit the choice B - Edith was convinced tha...

umm..how about this? we have 1. sqrt[(x+4)(x-5)] < 11 => as kevin pointed out, 0 < (x+4)(x-5) < 121 2. sqrt[(x+4)(x-5)] > 10 => (x+4)(x-5) > 100 Cant figure out the value of x from any individual statement..combining the two, 121 > (x+4)(x-5) > 100 expanding, 121 > x^2 - 5x + 4x -20 > 100 adding 20 ...

Did get the same result, though used a different method..can someone verify? I) Calculate height of the triangle - dropping an altitude to the base, the right triangle would be in the ratio of 1:sqrt(3):2. Since we have an equilateral triangle, the median from A would create a right triangle with on...

Well, I think eliminating the options will be a good approach. None of the other options really stick to what is being discussed in the question. A, on the other hand, provides a simple enough conclusion. For ease, lets convert percents to actual figures. Roughly speaking, the total spending on book...

I think I am missing something, but cant put a finger on it. Stmt 1 says: 1) Any prime number - Z = Positive Odd number Not able to figure out why it is impossible - what if Z = 2? any other Prime number would be an odd number. This implies the difference would be a Positive odd number, since Z is t...

Hmm..Fibo, you have considered the set p to be [1,2,3,4,5]. If you look at stmt 1, it says 'For any int in P, sum of 3 and that int is also in P". Let us take the set you have considered - if 1 is present, 1 + 3 should also be present in P. 4 is. Now since 4 is present in P, 4 + 3 should also b...

Agree with the ans..but not the derivation.. BD NOT EQUAL to AB, since BD is the diagonal and AB is a side. However, AB = CD, hence, BC/CD would also be equal to 3/4. Now that we know the hyp(from stmt 2), and we know the ratio of the sides, we would be able to calculate BC. We can go ahead with C a...
