Out of the 100 kids that went to the party, how many girls danced there?

(1) 25 girls don’t like to dance and so they didn’t.
(2) The number of boys that danced is twice the number that didn’t dance.

  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:

From statement (1) we know that 25 out of X girls didn’t dance. We need to know how many girls in total were in the party. Statement (2) doesn’t tell us anything about the number of boys or girls that went to the party but only the ratio between those who danced to those who didn’t.
Therefore, more sufficient data is needed to solve the problem.



990 people went to the GMAT exam; how many boys didn’t pass the test?

(1) 321 girls didn’t pass the test, which is the number of boys that did.
(2) One fifth of the people that went to the GMAT exam were boys who eventually didn’t pass the test.

  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:

Statement (1) gives us information about the number of boys that passed the test but no useful information about the other part of the boys.
Statement (2) by itself gives us the answer to the question (1/5 x 990). Therefore, the answer is B.



Is the sum of X consecutive numbers zero?

(1) The largest number is 5.
(2) The median number is zero.

  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:

Statement (1) is not sufficient because the series of numbers is not blocked from the smaller numbers. Statement (2) is sufficient by itself because we know that if the median number is 0, then the sum of the numbers must be even.



What is the value of A + B?

(1) A = 8 – B.
(2) (A + B)2 – 64 = 0.

  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): A

Explanation:

From statement (1) we know right away that A + B = 8.
From statement (2) we don’t know if A + B = 8 or –8.
Therefore, only statement one is sufficient to answer the question.



What is the value of (A – B)?

(1) A = 8 – B.
(2) A2 – B2 – 64 = 0.

  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 know the value of A + B.
From statement (2) we know the value of A2 – B2 = (A – B)(A + B) □ (A – B)8 = 64 □ the answer is equal to 8, therefore both statements are needed on order to answer the question.
