Is the largest of 7 consecutive numbers odd?

(1) The product of the seven numbers is zero.
(2) The sum of the seven numbers 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:

From statement (1) we learn that there is a 0 among the seven numbers, yet the largest number can be odd or even. (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) or (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
From statement (2) we know that the numbers are located symmetrically around the zero, therefore the largest number is even.



If X and Y are positive integers, what is the ratio between Y and X?

(1) XY = 150.
(2) Y is 22% of X.

  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 question actually asks what is Y/X or X/Y.
Statement (1) is not sufficient because from the product of the two variables we can’t make out the ratio. Statement (2) is sufficient by itself, Y = 22X/100 → Y/X = 11/50.



What is the value of (X2 + Y2)?

(1) (X – Y)2 = 36.
(2) (X + Y)2 = 48.

  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) can be written as X2 – 2XY +Y2 = 36. Statement (2) can be written as X2 + 2XY +Y2 = 48.
Adding both equations will give: 2X2 + 2Y2 = 84 → X2 + Y2 = 42. Therefore, both statements are needed in order to solve the question.



If x and y are positive integers, is 5x (1/4)y < 1 ?

(1) Y = 3x. (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): A

Explanation:

Use statement (1) to write: 5x(1/4)3x = (5/64)x. Because x is a positive integer only, the expression will always be smaller than 1. This statement alone provides us the answer.
Use statement (2) to write: 52(1/4)y → the answer here is dependent on y, a different combinations of the variable y will give different results.



What is the value of (A + B) ?

(1) B = 12 – 3B.
(2) A2 + 4A – 16 = 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): E

Explanation:

From statement (1) we can find the exact value of B.
From statement (2), we can find two answers for variable A, therefore the answer is not unequivocally and both statements taken together are not enough, more sufficient data is needed.
