Somehow I solved this in very easy manner. From the question, we can write equation as below. M-J = 2(M-K) , So obviously J earns least . M=2K-J To find average salary, we need first total salary i.e. M+K+J Substitute M =2K-J in above equation, we get Total salary = K Now see at options .. First one...

What about the case of 10 as base and 8 as height
then the volume is 200pi know, in that case radius is 5.

theCodeToGMAT wrote:Another approach:

Volume = pi * (r)^2 * h
So, lets consider cases
10x8 = (4)^2 * 6 = 96
10x6 = (3)^2 * 8 = 72
8x6 = (3)^2 * 10 = 90
So, 10x8 is the dimension which results in maximum volume

I solved it in a very easy way.
Lets take side of square is x. You can see from figure, two diagonals of squares = length of rectangle.
And one diagonal of square = width of rectangle.
So, as Length x Width = 36,
we can say (2 * root2x)* (root2x) = 36
x = 3
Perimeter of square = 12

If a, b, and c are integers, what's the value of a? 1) (a-7)(b-7)(c-7) = 0 2) bc=18 Target question : What is the value of a? Given : a, b, and c are INTEGERS Statement 1 : (a-7)(b-7)(c-7) = 0 We can write this as (something)(something)(something) = 0 So, it must be the case that AT LEAST one of th...
