A rectangular box is inscribed inside a cylinder. Both the width and length of the box is 2 cm. What is the volume of the cylinder?

(1) The volume of the box is 20 cm3.
(2) The radius of the cylinder is.

  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:

Statement (1) can provide us the height of the cylinder while statement (2) gives us data we already can conclude from the question.



There are X watermelons of 10 Kg each, and Y Watermelons of R Kg each. The average weight of a watermelon is 12 Kg. What is the value of R?

(1) There are five heavier watermelons more than lighter watermelons.
(2) The weight of the heavier watermelons in Kg is equal to their number.

  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:

Statement (1) defines the relationship between X and Y. Statement (2) defines the relationship between Y and R. We get the following equations:
10 x X + R x Y = 12 (X+Y), Y=X+5, and Y=R. Now solve and find R.



The average height of a group of children is 125 cm. If one of the children leaves, the average height drops by 2 cm. how many kids were there originally?

(1) The height of the child who left is twice greater than the height of the shortest child.
(2) The height of the child who left is 130 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): B

Explanation:

Since we don’t know how many children there are at all, it won’t help us to know the relationship between the child who left and the shortest child.
Statement (2) defines the connection between the sum of the heights before and after the departure and using the change in the sum divided by the new number of children we can find the number of children.



P is the standard deviation of the heights of NBA basketball players. R is the standard deviation of the heights of 8 weight lifters. Is the average height of the NBA players greater than the average height of the weight lifters?

(1) R>P
(2) There are 5 basketball players that are taller than the tallest weight lifter, and 2 players that are shorter than the shortest weight lifter.

  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:

Since we have no concrete info about the exact heights, or about the value of P and R, we cannot determine whether the NBA players or the weight lifters are taller. We need more data.



The average monthly income of 14 younger workers is X, Together with 60 older workers, the average monthly income of the workers rose to Y. what is the average monthly income of the older workers?

(1) The factory’s monthly budget for all salaries is 300,000$, which is 10 times the salary budget for the younger workers.
(2) The monthly income of all the workers is 10 times the younger workers income.

  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:

Statement (1) can tell us the value of Y, and the value of X, which is enough to solve this problem. Statement (2) alone only defines the connection between X and Y.
