Roy is now 4 years older than Erik and half of that amount older than Iris. If in 2 years, Roy will be twice as old as Erik, then in 2 years what would be Roy’s age multiplied by Iris’s age?

  1. 8
  2. 28
  3. 48
  4. 50
  5. 52

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Translate piece by piece into numbers. R (Roy) = Erik E. + 4. The second equation: R = I (Iris) + 2. The third equation: R +7 = 2(E + 7). We have three equations with three variables.
Roy is 6, Iris is 4 and Erik is 2. In four years Erik would be 6 and Iris 8, the answer is 48. The correct answer is C.



What is the area of the circle?

(1) The radius is 6.
(2) The circumference is 12л.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is , so the radius of the circle must be found in order to use the formula. Statement (1) gives you the radius. Using statement (2), the formula can be found by the fact that the circumference is π × the diameter. If the diameter is 12, then the radius is 6. Stop; you do not actually need to compute the area. Either statement can be used to solve the problem.



What is the positive value of z?

(1) 3y + z = 4
(2) z2 – z = 12

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Statement (1) contains two variables; you would need more information to solve for z. Statement (2) can be put into the form z2 – z – 12 = 0. This equation can be solved by either factoring or by using the quadratic formula, and is sufficient to answer the question.



Two cars leave the same city traveling on the same road in the same direction. The second car leaves one hour after the first. How long will it take the second car to catch up with the first?

(1) The second car is traveling 10 miles per hour faster than the first car.
(2) The second car averages 60 miles per hour.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In this type of question, remember the formula distance = rate × time. Let t = the time it takes the second car to catch up to the first. The fact that the second car is traveling 10 miles per hour faster than the first is not helpful by itself. We need to know more about either the distance traveled or the time traveled. Statement (2) alone also does not give enough information because we do not know the distances traveled. If we use both statements together, the first car’s distance is 50 (t + 1) and the second car’s distance is 60t.When the second car catches up, their distances will be the same. Setting the two distances equal to each other gives the equation 50t + 50 = 60t. We can subtract 50t from both sides and divide by 10. . t = 5 hours.



In right triangle XYZ, the m□y = 90 .What is the length of XZ?

(1) The length of YZ = 6. (2) m □z = 45

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Statement (1) gives information about one of the three sides of the triangle, but this is not enough to solve for XZ. Statement (2) tells you that the right triangle in this problem is a 45—45—90 right triangle, or an isosceles right triangle. However, this also is not enough information to find XZ. By using the two statements together, if YZ = 6, then XZ = 6 .
