Re: Logical question s

Question 5) Anything wrong with trying all 4 and a bit of algebra.

Better try with maximum 3 digit number and minimum 2 digit number.

Re: Logical question s

Hi;

Multiple choice questions are gifts. If you can not see any other way then try em all!

Call a the 3 digit number and call b the 2 digit number. You have the equations

a - b = 989, a + b = n

where n must be one of the 4 choices. Can you finish now?

Re: Logical question s

Question 5
Mike chose a three-digit number and a two-digit number. Find the sum of these numbers if their difference equals 989.  (A) 1000 (B) 1001 (C) 1009 (D) 1010

Try the first:

a - b = 989

a + b = 1000

Add the two equations:

2a  = 1989

a = 1989 / 2 which is not a 3 digit number, so 1000 is out.

Can you do the rest?

One of the 4 choices given is what a + b is.

Re: Logical question s

I did not give you the answer. I gave you the simplest means of getting the answer if you have no other method. Do you agree that A) is not possible?

Re: Logical question s

No, you solve both equations for each one.

Re: Logical question s

Since you did not answer the question

bobbym wrote:

Let us go over the first one again:

a - b = 989

a + b = 1000

Have you learned how to solve 2 simultaneous equations yet?

Re: Logical question s

The problem states that he picked a 3 digit number and a 2 digit number. We called the 3 digit number a and we solved for it. We got a = 994.5 which is not a 3 digit number, so A)1000 is out.

If you understand this then move on to B).

Re: Logical question s

B) 1001

a - b = 989

a + b = 1001

2a =1990

So a = 995 and b = 6. The problem says he picked a 3 digit number and 995 is a 3 digit number but 6 for b is not a 2 digit number. So B) 1001 is out.

Re: Logical question s

That is the correct answer for the old question #5 but since you did not show any work I can not say anything else about it.

I had this conversation with a very clever fellow:

bobbym: I was not able to go throught that book on order statistics and get much out of it. I solved the problem though.

clever dude: I also could not understand that book all filled with silly symbols. I thought about it and solved it like this.

I am willing to let someone skip the theoretical jargon, do we really need to memorize yet another proof from Cauchy? I am much more alarmed when someone skips over the problems assigned to him/her. Also, a competition is a sporting event. By that we can infer that you are supposed to be doing these problems on your own. I am not in the competition, it is unfair for you to receive the answers. I am willing to help as is everyone else in here but you have to show some work, some effort, some something.

This problem #6 is real easy

Question 6
In triangle abc the angle a is three times the size of that at b and half the size of the angle at c. what is the angle at A???
A 30 b 36 degree c 54 deg        d 60 degree

and again it is a multiple choice. It is also carelessly written, first you talk about angle a and then later it becomes angle at A? In math a and A are not the same things. Now, how about trying some things and showing your work?

Re: Logical question s

Angle a is a
Angle b is b
Angle c is c
According to statement angle a is three time means 3a
How I think of question 3 times than of b what is mean of this line???
