Little Timmy spends half of his allowance on his favorite pet Din and the other half on candies. How much money did Timmy spend on Din?

(1) Din eats 1.5Kg of food every day.
(2) Timmy buys 110 gr. Of candies each day. One Kg of candies costs $7.5.

  1. Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not.
  2. Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not.
  3. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, even though NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
  4. Either statement BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

From the question we know the ratio of the money that Timmy is spending on Din and on candies. In order to know how much Timmy spends on each, we need to know one of the expanses in real
Amount of money and not in percent terms. The first statement doesn’t provide us any sufficient information but the second one gives us the exact amount of money that Timmy spends on Candies, which is equal to the amount that he spends on Din.



A, B, C, D and E are five consecutive points with equal spacing on a straight line. What is the distance between A to E?

(1) AB = 3.
(2) BE = 9.

  1. Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not.
  2. Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not.
  3. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, even though NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
  4. Either statement BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

First, draw the line with the points marked.
Because the points are evenly spaced on the straight line, only one measurement is needed to answer the question. Both statements give us a measurement of some kind therefore each of them, by itself is sufficient.



A, B and C are 3 consecutive points on an arc with a constant radius. What is the distance between A and C?

(1) The radius of the arc is 25 Cm.
(2) The length of AB is 5 Cm.

  1. Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not.
  2. Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not.
  3. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, even though NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
  4. Either statement BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

In order to know the distance between two points on an arc you need to know the angle that the points make and the radius of the arc.
Statement (1) gives us the radius.
Statement (2) gives us the length of AB, but the question didn’t mention that there is equal spacing and therefore the length of BC can’t be found with both of the statements taken together.



If X and Y are positive integers, is X greater than Y?

(1) X > Y – 2.
(2) X > 2.

  1. Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not.
  2. Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not.
  3. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, even though NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
  4. Either statement BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Take some numbers for example.
Y= 8 from statement (1) we know that X > 6 and from statement (2) we know that X >2, but X can be 7 or even 24 and he will still fit the equation properly, therefore both statements, taken together are not sufficient.



If X and Y are positive integers, is X greater than Y?

(1) X > 2.
(2) Y < 3.

  1. Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not.
  2. Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not.
  3. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, even though NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
  4. Either statement BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

From statement (1) we learn that X is 3 or bigger and from statement (2) we learn that Y is 2 or smaller. Therefore, both statements are sufficient to answer the question.
