Is X greater than 1?

(1) X > X2. (2) –X < -X2.

  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 you that X is greater than X2, that is true only if X is between zero and one and so the answer to the question is no.
Statement two is identical to one, multiply both sides by (-1) and don’t forget to change the sign of the inequality. Either statement is sufficient by itself. The correct answer is D.



X is a positive integer, is X even?

(1) 9X2 is divisible by 4.
(2) 3X + 2 is divisible by 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): D

Explanation:

Statement (1) tells us that 9X2 is an even number (it’s divisible by 4) and therefore X2 must be an even number. An odd number squared is also odd and therefore X must be even, this statement is sufficient. Statement (2) tells us that 3X + 2 is an even number (it’s divisible by 8).
If you subtract 2 from (3X+2) the result will still be even. If 3X is even than X must be even. This statement is also sufficient to answer the question. The correct answer is D.



The grade point average of one third of the classroom is 69; the grade point average of the rest is 60. What is the grade point average of the whole class?

  1. 61.
  2. 63.
  3. 65.
  4. 67.
  5. It depends how many people are there in the class.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Because the number of people in the classroom is unknown, take 3. One person has 69 and the rest have 60. Their sum is 189.
189/3 students is 63.



In the Hillside summer camp there are 50 children. 90% of the children are boys and the rest are girls. The camp administrator decided to make the number of girls only 5% of the total number of children in the camp. How many more boys must she bring to make that happen?

  1. 50.
  2. 45.
  3. 30.
  4. 40.
  5. 25.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The total number of girls in the camp is (0.1 x 50 = 5). In order for 5 girls to be 5% there has to be a total number of 100 kids in the camp therefore the camp’s administrator should bring 50 more boys.



A and B are numbers between 1 and 9. If A = 4B than by what number is the two digit number BA not divisible?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 7
  4. 14
  5. 3

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

You have two choices: 1) 4 = 4 x 1 2) 8 = 4 x 2.
In the first choice, (BA = 14) can be divided by all the numbers except 3. In the second choice, (BA = 28) can be divided by all the numbers except 3. Therefore, E is the answer.
