Multiple of 6?

by Vemuri » Fri Mar 20, 2009 2:46 am
Is m a multiple of 6?

1. More than 2 of the first 5 positive integer multiples of m are multiples of 3

2. Fewer than 2 of the first 5 positive integer multiples of m are multiples of 12.

I am not sure on this one but i think the answer is b.

stmt 1: doesn't help us at all. we need to find out whether m is divisible by 2.

stmt 2: this tells us that 2 does divided into m.

answer: B

IMO E

1. More than 2 of the first 5 positive integer multiples of m are multiples of 3

Insufficient
Try for m= 72 and m= 27 , we will get differing answers.


2. Fewer than 2 of the first 5 positive integer multiples of m are multiples of 12.
Insufficient

Fewr than 2 means it could be 0 or 1

If it is 0 =m is not a multiple of 6
If it is 1 m is a multiple of 6

Combining
It is insufficient


So E
