Which store has a greater discount, store A or store B?

(1) Store B has 20% off all items.
(2) Store A has $20 off all items.

  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): E

Explanation:

Both statements are irrelevant because you do not know the cost of any of the items at either store.



Is x + 1 a factor of 12?

(1) x + 1 is even.
(2) x + 1 is a factor of both 2 and 3.

  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) could mean that x + 1 = 8, which is not a factor of 12. If x + 1 is a factor of both 2 and 3, then x = 0 and x + 1 = 1. One is a factor of every number. Statement (2) will suffice by itself.



What is the value of x?

(1) 22 < 3x + 1 < 28
(2) x is an integer.

  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:

Solve the compound inequality in statement (1). 22 < 3x + 1 < 28. Subtract 1 from each part of the inequality. 22 – 1 < 3x + 1 – 1 < 28 – 1. Divide each part by 3. The result is that x is some number between 7 and 9; thus, statement (1) is not sufficient. Statement (2), together with statement (1), is sufficient, and the answer is conclusively one value — namely, 8.



If x and y are consecutive even integers, what is the value of xy?

(1) x + y = 98
(2) y – x = 2

  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): A

Explanation:

Since x and y are consecutive even integers, they are numbers such as 10 and 12 or 32 and 34. Using statement (1), the only two numbers that would satisfy the equation are 48 and 50. Statement (1) is sufficient. Statement (2) just restates the obvious; every two consecutive even integers are two numbers apart. This does not help you solve the problem.



What is the numerical value of x2 – 25?

(1) x – 5 = 3
(2) 4 – x = 5

  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:

Since x2 – 25 is the difference between two perfect squares, its factors are (x – 5) and (x + 5). Statement (1) gives the value of x – 5. Statement (2) can be changed from 4 – x = 5 to 4 = x + 5 by adding x to both sides of the equation. Since you now know the numerical value of each factor, you can find the numerical value of x2 – 25.
