Since X, Y, Z are consecutive integers So Let Y = X + 1 and Z = X + 2 => N = X + X + 1 + X + 2 N = 3(X + 1) 1) x + z is a multiple of 10 . => X + X + 2 is multiple of 10 => 2(X+1) is multiple of 10 => (X+1) is multiple of 5. This means N is multiple of 5(and also 3) because N = 3(X+1) 2) y is a mul...

A it is IMO 1) x > [y] , This means x is a positive number and has absolute value greater than that of y. This is enough to say that x^2 - y^2 > 0. 2) [x] > y consider the examples x = -3, y = 2 => x^2 - y^2 > 0 x = -4, y = -5 => x^2 - y^2 < 0 Hence option 2 is not enough to determine the answer. x...

The correct answer is definitely choice B. We are asked for the value of n. We know that n is an integer between 100 and 200 exclusive. (1) n/36 is an odd integer When n is divided by 36, the result is an odd integer. Or: n/36 = odd, or: n = 36*odd Because n has to be between 100 and 200, n could b...
