What is the sum of the two smallest integers in a set of different positive integers?

(1) There are 4 integers in the set.
(2) The average of the integers in the set is 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:

The only two possible sets that have 4 different positive integers and an average of 3 are: [1, 2, 3, 6] and [1, 2, 4, 5]. The sum of the two smallest integers in both sets is always 3.



If cookies are put in a jar and the jars of cookies are packed in a carton box, how many cookies does one carton box contain?

(1) Every carton box is filed to half its volume.
(2) Twenty cookies are put in each jar, and 12 jars are put in each carton box.

  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:

The first statement gives no information of the number of cookies. The volume of the carton box or the percent of its volume filled, do not help in finding any number. The second statement gives all the information needed in order to find the number of cookies packed in each carton box. The number of cookies per jar, and the number of jars per box are sufficient to calculate real numbers.



If X and Y are integers, what is the value of X?

(1)

(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:

In order to find the value of a term in an equation with two unknowns, two different equations are needed. Since both equations given in statements 1 and 2 are, in fact, the same equation in a different shape, it is impossible to find the value of X or Y. 6X=4−9Y1 1/3 − 3y=2X



If x and y are primes, and x@y= , is x@y<1?
(1) x=y
(2) x+y=4

  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:

Since x=y and both are primes, could equal when x=y=3, or equal 1 when x=y=2. Therefore, the first statement is not sufficient to solve.
According to the second statement, x+y=4, the only primes to match are x=y=2. Now we know that and the is solved.



A ball with a diameter of 10 cm is inscribed inside a rectangular box so that it touches all internal faces of the box. What is the volume trapped between the box and the ball?

(1) The box is a cube
(2) The surface area of the box is 600 cm2.

  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:

Statement (1) tells us that the diameter of the ball is the height of cube, so we can find its volume. Statement (2) actually tells us that the box is a cube, and the rest is similar to statement one.
