2. If x and y are both positive integers and x>y, what the remainder when x is divided by y?

Not sufficient. ie 22/11 R=0, 23/11 R=1
Not sufficient. ie x= 29 = 20+9 = 4*5+9 or 5*4+9 I don't know if 4 or 5 is y and this changes the R.

Q8) Whether the probably of drawing 2 red marbles from a jar of 10 marbles is > 3/5
From Stmt 1, the probability that both marbles selected will be blue is < 1/10 and since there are only red and blue marbles in the jar
The probability of selecting both marbles red = 1 - LT 1/10 ==> GT 9/10 - Sufficient
From Stmt 2, the number of red marbles in the jar is at least 60 % is >= 6 of 10 marbles in the jar
The probability of selecting both marbles red >= 6/10 * 5/9 >= 0.333 which can be less than 3/5 when there are 6 red marbles and more than 3/5 when there

The question asks is x in one of those intervals?
(1) x is a prime number.

Status: Far, far away! Sufficient All prime numbers are greater than 2 so so we are in the right interval.

Not sufficient. If x=0, x^2 =0 is a multiple of 9 but 0 isn't in the intervals, if x=3 x^2=9 is a multiple of nine and 3 is in our intervals.

Q10) What is the value of the media of set A?
From Stmt 1, No number in set A < Avg, of set A
This implies all the numbers in the set are equal to the average otherwise the Avg of the set A will be more if any one number is more than the Avg. Hence the
median of set A in which all the numbers are same as the Avg. is none other than the Avg. value. - Sufficient.
From Stmt 2, Avg. of set A is = Amax - Amin of Set A.
Status: Looking to improve This only implies the lower and upper limit of Set A and they could be even or odd number of values in the set. This will result in various values for median
Joined: 15 Jan 2013 within Amin and Amin. - Not Sufficient.

Q9) If x is an integer, is x^2>2x?
From Stmt 1) x is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ... all primes - Not Sufficient

6. The ratio of the number of employees of three companies X, Y and Z is 3:4:8, respectively. Is the average age of all employees in these companies less
than 40 years?
(1) The total age of all the employees in these companies is 600
Not sufficient. ie totEmployees= 15 (3+4+8) => average age = 600/15=40 or totEmployees = 30 (2*(3+4+8))=> average age = 600/30=20. In the first case the
answer is NO, in the second is YES
(2) The average age of employees in X, Y, and Z, is 40, 20, and 50, respectively.
Status: Far, far away!
If you weight the average age with the ratios you find out that the average age is 40, which is NOT less than

so insufficient
Now adding 1+2 => blue can be 4 ,3,2,1,0 both blue should be less than 0.1 => so b can't be 4 it can only 3,2
So red balls can be 7 or 8-> no definite ans

Q6) Is Avg. age of employees of three companies X, Y and Z < 40 years?
Using the unknown multiplier approach, the number of employees in companies X, Y, and Z are 3x, 4x, and 8x respectively
From Stmt 1, the total age of all the employees in 3 companies is 600 - Not Sufficient
If x = 1, the total employees in companies X, Y and Z is 3 + 4 + 8 = 15, so the avg. age of employees is 600 / 15 = 40 years
If x = 2, the total employees in companies X, Y and Z is 6 + 8 + 16 = 30, so the avg. age of employees is 600 / 30 = 20 years
Status: Looking to improve From Stmt 2, avg age of X is 40, avg age of Y is 20, and avg age of z is 50 - Sufficient
Joined: 15 Jan 2013
Posts: 174 If x = 1, the total employees in companies X, Y and Z is 3 + 4 + 8 = 15, so the avg. age of employees is (40*3+20*4+50*8) / 15 = 40 years
If x = 2, the total employees in companies X, Y and Z is 6 + 8 + 16 = 30, so the avg. age of employees is (40*6+20*8+50*16) / 30 = 40 years

Entrepreneurship A and B share 4 elements in common that are different from 3, but because B has one more 3 than X it will have a STD lesser than A

Q7) Average (arithmetic mean) temperature in city A in March < the average (arithmetic mean) temperature in city B in March?
From Stmt 1, average temperate for City A and B cannot be determined from median - Not Sufficient
mean = median IFF the temperature in City A and City B in March follows a sequence of evenly spaced values.
From Stmt 2, Avg Temp A / Avg Temp B = 3 / 4 - Sufficient
Using unknown multiplier approach Avg Temp in A is 3x and Avg Temp in B is 4x so no matter what the value of x the Avg. temp in B > Avg. temp in A

(1) The average time A and B can complete the task working alone is 12.5 days.
Joined: 26 Feb 2013 My answer B

Posts: 53
Kudos [?]: 15 [1], given: 16 Time taken by A alone is a and by B is b.
Management Stmt 1: (a+b)/2= 12.5 => a+b=25. together they complete the task in 6 days => (1/a)+(1/b)=1/6 =>(ab)/(a+b) =6
a+b=25 => ab = 150. So (a,b) can be (10,15) or (15,10). insufficient.
INSEAD Jan '15 Stmt 2: b=a-5.=> (1/a)+(1/a-5) = 1/6. on simplification we get a quadratic a = a^2-17a+30=0 solving , a=15 or 2.
a cant be 2 ,as a=2=> b=-3 which on this earth is not possible. Hence a=15. sufficient.

Q1. Let 3 integers be (x-1), x and (x+1)
St1: At least 1 integer is positive.

Case 1 (1 Integers positive): 1 -- 2 -- 3 (Product = 6)
Case 2 (2 Integers positive): 0 -- 1 -- 2 (Product = 0)
Case 3 (All 3 Integers positive): -1 -- 0 -- 1 (Product = 0)

Kudos [?]: 18 [1], given: 17 St2: sum of 3 integers < 6
x-1+x+x+1<6
FOLLOW SEND PM => x < 2
if integers are 0, 1, 2 (product = 0)
if integers are -6, -2, -1 (product = -12)
Insufficient
Together: atleast 1 integer is negative and sum < 6

Case1: if 2 integers >0, 0, 1, 2 (product = 0)
Case1: if 1 integer is positive, -1, 0, 1 (product = 0)
both case will include a 0 hence the product will be 0
Together sufficient.
Ans C

From Stmt 1, No number in set A < Avg, of set A

From Stmt 2, Avg. of set A is = Amax - Amin of Set A.

Re: New DS set!!! [#permalink] 10 Apr 2013, 09:33

Q9) If x is an integer, is x^2>2x?

From Stmt 1) x is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ... all primes - Not Sufficient

If x = 2 results in x^2 = 2x and if x = 3, 4, .. only then x^2 > 2x
