Hi,

If we take 4,5,6,7,8,9,10(7 consecutive numbers) and divide each one by 7,we have remainders 3,2,1,0,1,2,3.The sum is not equal to 21 but is 12.Thus we can conclude that B is not sufficient.

can anyone explain,plz.

Thanks

if the remainder is 1 when divided by 2 then we know that x is odd - becuase when you divide by 2 you either get a remainder of 0 (for an even number) or a remainder of 1 (for an odd number) so the first part says that x is odd. If the remainder is 0 when divided by three that means that the number...

Thanks Ron, I understood the answer of my first question. 2)if X & Y are just "integers",then it can be X=-10 & Y=-9.And in that case it does tell us about odd or even integer in between X & Y. For the above mentioned second question,since the original problem states "x an...
