I recognized at one of the last questions that clicking on the screen changes the answer. I am almost sure that I lost a few points because of this technical flaw. BEWARE OF THIS!

Large odd number? How about 300000000000000003 ? :) one clever edit: how about 20000000..........................000000000000000000000000001? It is sure that there are large numbers which are divisible by 3 or 7 with an 1 at the end. There could a lot of other prime factors like 17, 23... I argued l...

Thats exactly the way I solved it. But you need to be careful. If one SUV is chosen there are not only 19 SUVs left, but also only 99 cars total. I just was too lazy to calculate the result exactly. I recognized that it is GREAT to approximate the calculation. So you should look at the answer choice...

Andre and Barbara went to the vehicle rental outlet and chose 2 vehicles at random, with the condition that Andre and Barara would not select two of the same type of vehicle (in other words, ...

I would solved it like this:

2^34-2^28
2^28 * 2^6 - 2^28
2^28 (2^6 - 1)
2^28 (63)
=> 7

tough prime factor... GMAT Prep Test

Hey guys, I would just like to share this one: For every positive EVEN integer n, the function h(n) is defined to be the product of all the even integers from 2 to n, inclusive. If p is the smallest prime factor of h(100) + 1, then p is (A) between 2 and 10 (B) between 10 and 20 (C) between 20 and 3...

There need to be a mistake

X=2, Y=1/2 => X*Y=1

(5/2)^2)/(3/2)^2=(5/3)^2=25/9

and several other results...

ok, lets have a look at these equotations: I c+d+m+cd+cm+dm+a=100 II cd+cm+dm+2a=110 both need to be true. We have no information about the value of cd,cm,dm (e.g. cd is cellphone AND dvd player; VENN DIAGRAMM!). So we get the max for a with cd=cm=dm=0 (sum of them is minimal). => 2a=110 <=> a=55 Le...

Yeah (C) should be right
a stands for all 3

i m+cm+dm+a=55
ii d+cd+dm+a=75
iii c+cd+cm+a=80

=> i+ii+iii
I c+d+m+(cd+cm+dm)2+3a=210
II c+d+m+cd+cm+dm+a=100

=> I-II
cd+cm+dm+2a=110

max 55 (I and II are ok!)
min 10 (c+d+m = 0)

IMO (C)
