Liqueur A contains 24% of alcohol. What is the alcohol concentration of the mixed cocktail of liqueur A and B?

(1) The mixing ratio of liqueur A and B is 1:4
(2) The alcohol concentration of liqueur B is 1.5 times greater than the alcohol concentration of the mixed cocktail.

  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) gives us the quantity of each of the liqueurs.
Statement (2) gives us the connection between the alcohol concentration of liqueur B and the mixed cocktail. The equation looks like this: 0.2*24 + 0.8(1.5X) = X.



What is the average height of X buildings, each with height P meters, and 4X buildings each with height P/2? (1) X = 5, P = 35.
(2) P = 40.

  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:

Of course, statement (1) gives of the values of all the parameters, but the value of X is unnecessary. (XP
+2XP)/5X is equivalent to3P/5. Statement (2) also gives us the answer.



A, B, C and D are four consecutive points on a straight line. What is the distance between A to D?

(1) AC = 6.
(2) BD = 8.

  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:

First, draw the line with the points marked.
We know AC and BD but it’s not sufficient to know the length of AD.
If the question said the points are evenly spaced than the answer would be solvable.



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

(1) X – Z – Y > 0. (2) Z2 = X2 + Y2.

  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 learn that X > Z + Y therefore X must be bigger than Z – Y (positive integers). From statement (2) we learn that X2 = Z2 – Y2 and that tells us nothing relevant.



Zigfield bought his car using M% of his bank savings. He also bought a house that costs 4 times the price of the car. What is the price of the house?

(1) M = 12.
(2) The price of the car and the house was $140,000.

  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:

With statement (1) we know that the car cost 12% of his life savings.
From statement (2) we know that $140,000 is the price of both the car and the house. Use simple ratio to find what is the cost of the house.
