Re: What is the \(LCM\) of \(x\) and \(12?\)

Statement 1: 45 = \({3^2}\)*5 9 = \({3^2}\) Hence, x = 5*\({3^a}\) where a = 0, 1 ,2 x can be 5, 15, 45 Hence, this statement is insufficient. Statement 2: 20 = \({2^2}\)*5 4 = \({3^2}\) Hence, x = 5*\({2^a}\) where a = 0, 1 ,2 x can be 5, 10, 20 Hence, this statement is insufficient. Combining both...

Re: What is the perimeter of the triangle above?

tan \({30^o}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{1}{base}\)

Hence, base = \(\sqrt{3}\)

Applying pythagoras theorem,
hypoteneuse = \(\sqrt{1\ +\ \left(\sqrt{3}\right)^2}\) = 2

Hence, perimeter is 3 + \(\sqrt{3}\)

That is answer D

Re: Is \(x > 0 ?\)

Statement 1: xy > 0 That can mean that either both are positive or both are negative. Hence, insufficient. Statement 2: x + y > 0 That can mean: i) both are positive ii) x is positive, y is less negative iii) x is negative, y is more positive Hence, this is insufficient. Combining both statements: W...

Re: By how many years is Jason older than Allison?

Let the current ages of Jason, David and Allison be j, d and a respectively. Statement 1: j = 6 + 2d No information of a, hence clearly insufficient. Statement 2: a + 8 = 2d No information of j, hence clearly insufficient. Combining both statements, we get: j - a = 14 Hence, Jason is 14 years older ...

Re: What is the \(X\) intercept of non-horizontal line \(m?\)

Consider a line: y = mx + c Slope = m X intercept (when y = 0) = \(\frac{-c}{m}\) Y intercept (when x = 0) = c Statement 1: m = 4*c We see \(\frac{-c}{m}\) = \(\frac{-1}{4}\) Hence, this is sufficient. Statement 2: c = -2 We have no information on m Hence, this is insufficient. Hence, answer is A.

Re: \(\dfrac{(6.804)^6\cdot(1.701)^{-13}}{2^{19}\cdot(3.402)^{-7}}=\)

Let 1.701 be x

Hence, the equation becomes:
\(\frac{\left(4x\right)^6\cdot\left(2x\right)^7}{2^{19}\cdot x^{13}}\)

We see the powers of 2 and x cancel off in numerator and denominator and we remain with 1

Hence, answer is B.


Re: What is the value of \(x?\)

Statement 1: We see 2 important points here: -2 and 2 let's make ranges about these points: 1) x < -2 - x - 2 = 2(-x + 2) x = 6 2) -2 < x < 2 x + 2 = 2(-x + 2) x = \(\frac{2}{3}\) 3) x + 2 = 2(x - 2) x = 6 Hence, we have 2 different values of x. Hence, insufficient. Statement 2: Says x > 2 Clearly i...

Re: Ronald and Sonam run a race that is 2000m long. Ronald gives Sonam a start of 200m and beats her by 30 seconds

Let the speeds of Ronald and Sonam in m/s be a and b respectively. We have 2 equations: 1) \(\frac{2000}{a}\) = \(\frac{1800}{b}\) - 30 2) \(\frac{1000}{a}\) = \(\frac{2000}{b}\) - 180 Solving these, we get a = \(\frac{25}{3}\) and b = \(\frac{20}{3}\) Hence, time taken will be Ronald: \(\frac{2000}...

Let the work done by inlets per hour be a, b, c and d a + b + c = 1/( \(\frac{1}{5}\) hour) = 5 b + c + d = 4 a + d = 3 Adding d to both sides of equation 1) and adding a to both sides of equation 2), we get a + b + c + d = 5 + d = 4 - a Hence, a - d = 1 Combining this with equation 3), we get a = 2...


Re: Percentage

Good question! Initially, the mileage was 20. That means pure petrol gives mileage of 20 So, kerosene gives mileage of 4 Let the % of petrol filled by the motorist be x, and % of kerosene filled be (1-x) 20*x + 4*(1-x) = 16 We get x = 75% Old cost to the gas station (C) = 100%*p New cost to the gas ...

Re: Divisibility

The way to solve these kinds of questions is: Divide 1,000,000 by 43 and find the remainder. Then subtract the remainder from 43, and add the result to 1,000,000 1,000,000 = 43 x 23,255 + 35 43 - 35 = 8 Adding 8 to 1,000,000 gives 1,000,008 Hence, answer is B You may also notice that: 1,000,008 = 43...

Re: Data Sufficiency

So the number x is of the format nnnn 1) Sum of the digits = 4n (which is divisible by 4, hence even) 2) Product of the digits = \(n^4\) If n=even, product will be even. If n=odd, product will be odd. So, we can't be sure of this one. 3) To be divisible by 12, the number must be divisible by both 3 ...
