Thank You StoneCold.

It is indeed helpful mate. Hell Yeahhh !!! That's the bottom line 'coz Stone Cold said so !

+1 mate

8)If x is a positive integer such that x-29,x and x+6 are all prime numbers,what is the value of x?

bit confused on the answer as 5.

5-29 is -24.

I was thinking 31 as the answer?

am I missing some concept ?



No Dev.
You are Absolutely Right.
I made a typing error.


And thank you for attempting the Quiz.
I Hope it helped. :shock: :shock:

Hi stonecold,
I don't know how to approach this one could you clarify.
In such questions i generally choose numbers so i took p=1,q=2,r=3; L.C.M=6(or in this case p*q*r)
This is maximum possible value of LCM
Now,how do you find the minimum??

1)If p,q,r are positive integers such that p<q<r,then what is the maximum possible value of GCD of p,q,r.?
A)p
B)q
C)r
D)1
E)p*q*r
I love this sum. It is pure concept. We will go by one by one options
1 can be GCD if P Q R is Co – prime to each other.
P*Q*R – can be LCM, but never a GCD.
Within P,Q,R – only the smallest number can be GCD – to understand this you may chose 3 numbers. Write them in their canonical form. From that to find GCD we will take common factors with their lowest power, so the small number P only can be GCD.

2)If x and n are positive integers then the number of prime factors of nx will always be greater than or equal to the number of prime factors of x^n?
A)True
B)False
C)cannot be determined
I am not sure how to explain this, but I choose few numbers and tested. It is always true.
3)If p,q,r are positive integers such that p<q<r,then what is the minimum possible value of LCM of p,q,r.?
A)p
B)q
C)r
D)1
E)p*q*r
Same as first qs.
P*q*r is maximum LCM possible
R is the minimum LCM possible.
As I told early you can try it by the way I mentioned in first qs.

4. If P is cube of a prime number, then how many factors does P have?
The number of factors can be found by adding one to the power. So four in this case.
Another example how to find factors: 23 * 32 = (3+1) * (2+1) = 4*3 =12 factors


5)If P and Q are Prime numbers then Q^5+P*Q is always even?
Interesting one, the problem in the sum is with prime number 2. If they say p and Q are >2 then it would be different.

Hi karanchamp1

When two or more numbers are involved => LCM can never be less than any of the numbers(Since all the numbers are factors to the LCM and A factor of any number can never be greater than the number itself )
Hence --> Least value of LCM possible = Highest of all the numbers involved.In this case r will the least LCM.

The same rule can be Applied for GCD as => GCD can never be greater than any of the involver numbers(As GCD is a factor to each number and A factor of any number can never be greater than the number itself)
Hence --> Highest value of GCD = Smallest of all the numbers involved,which would be p in this case.



Thank you for attempting the Quiz.
I hope it was helpful .

Hi stonecold
Thanks for the prompt explanation man, and your quiz is is really intriguing and fun to solve :-D
Also,
You've got any similar thread of hard questions on inequalities,I find them really confusing sometimes (there are so many cases and I always miss that one exceptional case).It would really be helpful.
I feel like a parasite sucking all the resources in :),D-day is coming next month ,hope you understand :)
Thanks again and KUDOS!!

I am Glad you liked the Quiz.

I am working on a similar Quiz on Statistics.
On the GMAT Statistics is very Crucial.(or so i have heard)
It will be up in a day or two.
And it will have everything you need for Statistics.


Now,Coming to your Doubt on inequality here is my suggestion =>

If you are looking for conceptual understanding,then go through this Post by Bunuel -> inequalities-made-easy-206653.html

Next Download this PDF Here => 50-gmat-data-sufficiency-questions-on-inequalities-167841.html

It has 50 Great Hand Picked Inequality Questions.

After solving each of these 50 Questions -> I think you will ready to fight inequalities. :)

10)If P is a perfect Square, then which of these may be the number of prime factors of P?
A)13
B)12
C)10
D)8
E)6

can you explain this question, I agree that total no of factors shall be odd, but the number of prime factors can be any numbers.
For example take 13 prime numbers say (p1, p2, p3....p13)
Now the number P = (p1*p2*p3*...p13)^2 is a perfect square having 13 prime factors.

Please correct me, if I miss anything.

You are right. The number of factors of a perfect square must be odd but the number of prime factors can be any.
