Hi Vikas Mishra,

You've posted a series of questions recently. What is the source of these questions? I ask because they don't appear to be GMAT questions (and they're certainly NOT written in proper 'gmat style'). Are you studying for the GMAT or some other test (or a math class?)?

This is a neat question, but one that is way, way, way above the level of mathematical reasoning expected by the GMAT.

To answer it, I'd also need to know whether the order of the set matters (is (1, 25, 150) distinct from (25, 1, 15)?) and whether the three numbers must be distinct.
