x>y?? B) x^3 >y x=2, y=3. b) satisfies but x<y and x=10,y=3 satisfies both condition. Insufficient A) root(x) > y if x=1/4, sqrt(x)=1/2. if y>1/4 and y<1/2, only one condition will satisfy. Thus insufficient A&B) x <0 is not possible as sqrt (x)>0 is given. if y<0, then all conditions satisfy. x...

B) |3-y|=11
|y-3|=11
if y>=3,y=14
if y<=3, y=-8. 2 solutions. insufficient
A) 3|x^2-4|=y-2
x value is not known. thus insufficient.
A&B) if y=-8, 3* |x^2 - 4| = -10 <0 not possible.
Thus y=14 sufficient
IMO C

we know p^2 + b^2 = h^2 in a right angles triangle.
Thus let the side of A1 be p, A2 be b and A3=h.
a1 = pi * (p/2)^2 * 1/2 (=pi*r^2 / 2)
= pi/8 * p^2
similarly a2 = pi/8 * b^2
and a3 = pi/8 * h^2
Thus putting in (a1+a2)/a3 = p^2 + b^2 / h^2 = 1
IMO A

Here is what I did 1. If xy =(xy)^2 and I plug in -1/2 as x into the equation, I get (-1/2)y= (-1/2)^2 y^2, 2. I then handle the parantheses to show (-1/2)y= (1/4)y^2. 3. Multiply the entire equation by 4, and get -2y=y^2, 4. divide by y on both sides and get y= -2 and therefore sufficient. in the ...

My solution: standard deviation (sd) means how far the numbers are from the mean...
the present numbers are 2,4,5,7
if we add 3 or 6, they lie in the range only and similarly 1,8 re just next to 2 and 7 respectively which are already in the set. 14 is too far from 7, and thus will increase sd the most
