1. Jules and Jim both invested certain amount of money in bond M for one year, which pays for 12% simple interest annually. If no other investment were made, then Jules initial investment in bond M was how many dollars more than Jim's investment in bond M.
(1) In one year Jules earned $24 more than Jim from bond M.
(2) If the interest were 20% then in one year Jules would have earned $40 more than Jim from bond M.
IMO D.
each statement gives a linear eqn in 2 variables. since i just need the diffrenec between both and not the exact value for Each . I and II are individually sufficient Hence D

1. D
Jules'invested amt - x
Jim's invested amt - y
Q is x-y?
a) x+0.12x-y-0.12y = 24 => x-y can be found
b) x+0.2x-y-0.2y = 40 => x-y can be found
2. C
a) n!(n+2)(n+1) - n! = pK cant say about (n+2)(n+1) being a multiple of p
b) it confirms the above missing element as (n+2)(n+1) is a multiple of p
3.C
Using both it comes to y^4 = 3x^4-29x^2 +64 => either x being odd or even 3x^4-29x^2 is always even hence y^4 is even and hence y is even.
4.A
let be n(acrophobia) and c be common to both
a) 58 = 45 + x - c + c => x can be determined
b) no of patients dont belong to both is not mentioned
5.E
No division of how many listen and how many dont is provided
6. A
a) a-b=15 => c>15 => a+b >15+(c-15) => a+b+c >30
b) not relevant
7. C
I think the prob will be 1/(K*(K-1)*..(K-(n-1))
so we need both k & n
8. C
I know that remainder is always 1 when n^2 is divided by 12 given n is a prime greater than 3. Got from plugging nos
9. B
I think we need to find the largest no as xyz=z^2 =>xy=z which is given in second statement. Not sure if I am missing a trap.
10. E
As it is not mentioned if there any more varieties of snakesother than cobras and vipers.
11. E
Not sure about this. I think each of the statements along with the premise gives that m > b, but by how much can not be concluded and hence cant say.
12. B
Again using both also I get yz =9 which is directly implied by statement b. Hence I go with B. Not sure of any trap.
13.E
not used to giving explanations hence taking a lot of time

5. If at least one astronaut do NOT listen to Bach at Solaris space station, then how many of 35 astronauts at Solaris space station listen to Bach?
(1) Of the astronauts who do NOT listen to Bach 56% are male.
(2) Of the astronauts who listen to Bach 70% are female.
Answer: A
1)I set up a table of M/F and Listeners/Non-Listeners. Since 56% are male and there are 35 astronauts, reduce 56/100 where the demoninator is <= 35. The only solution is 14/25. Thus, 25 astronauts do NOT listen to Bach and 10 astronauts listen to Bach. Sufficient.
2)With the same table I already have set up, I can determine that either 10, 20, or 30 listen to Bach; therefore, not sufficient.
C would be a trap answer. Based on (1) our options of 20 and 30 from (2) are eliminated, for a total of 7 female listeners, 3 male listeners, 11 female non-listeners and 14 male non-listeners. However, this information is unneccessary since (1) is enough.
Edit: I wanted to add that I came to these conclusions because it's stated "at least one astronaut do NOT listen to Bach." I think that oversight is why many people picked E?
