F is true. Since rock varnish in Theil area consists of limonite, it must have penetrated down at some point in the past. Although, the snow did not melt in recent times, this does not exclude the possibility that it never melted. In fact, it must have melted sometime ago (in past) since it did not ...


ST1: QR = RS from this condition, visualize an image where points S and Q are fixed. Now if you move Point U to left or right from its current position, the angle X will change. hence Insufficient St2: ST = TU from this condition, visualize an image where points S and U are fixed. Now if you move Po...

First Approach: Train A starts every 60/4 = 15 mins Train B starts every 60/6 = 10 mins Train C starts every 60/8 = 7.5 mins Train D starts every 60/12 = 5 mins LCM of above times = 30 Therefore after every 30 mins, all 4 trains start together. Hence D Second approch: Train A starts every 60/4 = 15 ...

St1: Only cases where Units digit is 6 more than ten's digit can be when N is 39, 28 or 17 (each of them is less than 40) hence sufficient St2: N is 4 less than 4 times the units digit. If Units digit = 1,2 or 3, N will be 0, 4 and 8 respectively which are not 2 digit integers. (Exclude from analysi...

Lets say # Americans= 100
# Americans who used a SB = 52
# Americans who DONT used a SB = 48
Prob that 4 are selected out of 52 = 52C4
Total Prob to select 4 Americans out of 100 = 100C4
therefore rquired prob = 52c4 / 100C4

ST1: X^10 + X^(-10) or {x^20 + 1}/x^10
given x is an integer greater than 1, this will never be an integer.
Hence Sufficient.

St2: X^(1/6) + X^(1/2)
if x = 64, the above becomes 2 + 8 = 10 (INTEGER)
if x = 2, the above becomes 2^1/6 + root2 (NOT an INTEGER)
Hence Insufficient

First we need to find how many trailing zeroes are in 24!
to find # of trailing zeros = 24 / 5 = 4
so 24! has 4 trailing zeros

4 trailing zeros mean 10^4 therefore n = 4

Lets assume total grade = 100
Max marks for Final grade is 40
Max marks for Other Grades total 60

Given: Moe has 45% marks out of 60 that is 45% of 60 = 27
To get the passing grade of 60% overall (i.e. 60 out of 100), he needs 60 - 27 = 33 more marks in the final grade.
so 33/40 * 100 = 82.5%
And B

We know PR is the diameter. Any triangle drawn with PR as a side and 3rd point (Q) on the circumference of a circle is a right angled triangle at point Q. If we draw a perpendicular from Q on the diameter, say point T, then QT^2 = a * b Now we know QT = 2 so QT^2 = 4 St1: a = 4 Then we can find out ...
