I got the same thing. When N is a multiple of 4, then 2^N will always be greater than 10. This division will always yield the dividend as the remainder. Hence, 10.

I also agree with Night Reader E

3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = units digit of 1

7 * 7 = units digit of 9

9 * 9 * 9 = units digits of 9


We just need to multiply the units digits cause anything else doesn't affect the product of the units digit.


9 * 9 * 1 = units digit of 1.

I also got A.

I used n=5, since (5*2)/3 = remainder of 1.

This I as sufficient, because n has to be nonnegative integer
This also crosses out II.
As for III, I don't know if if its suppose to be sqrt(2*n) or n*sqrt(2), either way neither of these will be a integer when n = 5.

I followed a similar concept, but used numbers to make my math easier, instead of straight algebra. Lets use easy numbers: Length of rectangle = 8 (Since, this will give each circle a diameter of 4 and radius of 2. Nice whole numbers) Since the diameter is 4, the width of the rectangle has to be 4 P...

I assume 2 should say "Y is an integer".

If so then obviously Y + 1 would be an integer.

For 1.

Y = 1/3
3y = 1
Y + 1 = 4/3

OR

Y = 2
3Y = 6
Y + 1 = 3

= Insufficient.

Answer: B

4


21 - 6 = 15 = 1 standard deviation

21 - 12 = 9 = 2 standard deviation

only number between 9 and 15 = 12

I agree with asamavrick.

Here are my steps:

first found the LCM of 3 and 5 = 15 = A

(1/5)*15 = 3 = # who want to be actors

(2/3)*3 = 2 want to be be both actors and directors

Number of applicants who don't want to be both = 15 - 2 = 13

plug 15 for A you get E

Sum = Average * # items

Average of a 10 number set is the average of digits 5 and digit 6.


Average = (1/15 + 1/16)/2 = (32/240)/2 = (16/240)

Sum = (16/240) * 10 = 16/24 = 2/3

With the inequality confusion out of the way. I think the answer should be E.

I did it by picking numbers

x = 2

1. 14 - 2y > 0

y < 7

2. -y < 2

y > -2

Combined together y can be from -1 to 6, when x = 2

Multiply both sides by 7 -------> 7x + 7y > 0 Subtract 1 and 2 7x - 2y > 0 -7x - 7y > 0 ----------------- 0 - 9y > 0 - 9y > 0 this is only possible when y < 0 . Rocky, is this a valid operation? I don't think you can subtract inequlities like that cause at the same time you're multiplying the whole...

Standard deviation is distance from average.

so 30 is the max away from average on the low end.

The lowest and highest scores within one standard deviation is 45 and 75, respectively.

Two standard deviations would be 15 * 2, hence the lowest and highest would be 30 and 90.

Answer A.

I also solved this like debmalya where I'm assuming option 2 is (xyz)^2.

Then I got E

If its xy(z)^2 > 1.

Then xy can be positive or both negative and Z can be positive or negative

Then X * Y > 0.

Answer: B
