How many different pairs of numbers (s, t) such that s = 3t can be obtained if s and t are selected from the set of number {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5
This should be a really easy exercise, but I only see 3 pairs and the answer key says the right answer is 4!
I can only think of
s=3, t=1
s=6, t=2
s=9, t=3
What would the missing pair be???
Thank you!

Hi inesllopart,
This question has a bit of 'quirky' wording to it.
When the prompt states "how many different pairs of numbers (S,T) ....", it does NOT mean that S and T have to be different numbers. It's asking for the number of different PAIRS. Given the rest of the language in the prompt, (0,0) is one of the possible pairs.
The questions that you'll face on the Official GMAT are carefully worded to remove any of the odd wording and "bias" that could occur on the part of the reader, so this 'issue' shouldn't show up on Test Day.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Given s=3t
t can take 0,1,2,3
and so s = 0,3,6,9
4 such pairs can be formed.
answer D
