Hi.
I know that. But, this is a GRE question. In GRE we have some questions without the answer choices.

Yes, I know... But the problem is that this set is not evenly spaced. Therefore we cannot say that the mean is equal to the median.

1243 - 1234 = 9
1324 - 1243 = 81
1342 - 1324 = 18
1423 - 1324 = 99
1432 - 1423 = 9

Why do you consider this set the set of consecutive numbers?


One more way - Average of set = median of set = (1234+4321)/2 = 5555/2 Possible number of ways in which these 4 numbers can be arranged = 4*3*2*1 = 24 So sum of all of these numbers = average of the set multiplied by number of way of arrangement = 5555/2 * 24 = 66,660 Hi sitar, How did you find the...


Thank you everyone for clearing my doubts.

Hi GMATGuruNY,

How can we solve this problem by using alligation method?

I solved it but I couldn't find the answer:

40-----------25-----------0, so, V:O is 5:3.

Hi parthdpatel, Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 4, (5)[4t1 + 5t2 = 35] => 20t1 + 25t2 = 175 (4)[5t1 + 4t2 = 37] => 20t1 + 16t2 = 148 Now we can subtract the two equations: 25t2 - 16t2 = 175 - 148 = 27 => 9t2 = 27, So t2 = 3, and 20t1 + 25(3) = 175 => t1 = 5
