Isn’t the answer E ?

Because from 1: b =5a/4 => a is even => b is even

From 2: b is odd

So there in no single solution

Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here

My bad, there’s an error on my end
Please ignore

It’s C

From 2: we know b is odd

From 1: we get a = 4b/5

So for a to be an integer > 0, be has to be an integer divisible by 5

So the unit’s digit is either 0 or 5
But since we know from 2 that b is odd, the unit’s digit can only be 5

Hope this helps

If PQ > 0 and |P|^Q = 1, then what is the value of P? (1) |P| = P (2) |Q| = Q
(1) Since |P| = P, P^Q = 1. Ln both sides, so Q ln P = 0. Q or ln P = 0. Since PQ>0, Q cannot be 0. Thus P = 1. Sufficient

(2) Since |Q| = Q, P^Q =1. Same as before, apply ln both sides and reject Q=0. So again, ln P = 0 which means P =1. Sufficient

D

what is the rightmost non zero digit in the integer value of 12!?
12!= 12*11*10****2*1 split into Prime factors = 2^10 * 3^5 * 5^2 * 7^1 * 11^1 now exclude 0’s i.e. 5*2 for non 0 digit = 2^8* 3^5 *7^1 * 11^1 = 4*3*7*1 = 4 (Ans)

Should be C. As P(X will occur) * P(Y will occur) = 0.70 * 0.85 = 0.595

B: 0.55.

P(X) = 0.7
B(Y) = 0.85
P(X and Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X or Y)
P(X and Y) = 0.7 + 0.85 - P(X or Y)
P(X and Y) = 1.55 - P(X or Y)

Now, we know that probability can not be less than 0, and can not be more than 1. Thus, to minimize P(X and Y) we need to maximize P(X or Y). P(X or Y) can be set as much as 1. And thus,

P(X and Y) = 1.55 - 1 = 0.55.

Hence, (B) 0.55 is the answer.

Agree B is right, I would solve using sets but yes same concept. The problem here and this is something to always be mindful of in 2 event problems as ppl tend to skip through is - The 2 events are not mentioned as independent [in which case we can take P (A&B)= P(A) * P(B)]. Hope this helps :)

Is n divisible by 11 with no remainder?

(1) n is divisible by m with integer result
(2) m is divisible by 5.5 with integer result

isn’t it E? E because if n is 5.5, it can be divisible by 5.5 but not divisible by 11. But the answer sheet seems to disagree with me.

I actually used Venn diagram for this which I believe works too. Probability of both events occurring will be the overlapping region. And since it needs to be minimised, prob of X + prob of Y - prob of X and Y occurring = 1.
P(X) + P(Y) - overlapped region = 1
Overlapped region = 1.55 - 1
So B

I also thought it’s E. Was there an explanation given? I saw the responses to the post and I don’t quite agree with them either.

I) Is false, consider the case of x=1/2

Ii) Is true. For any integer value of x, x^2 must be larger. So x must be some fraction (neg or pos)

III) root(x)=int. Not necessIrly true.

Is n divisible by 11 with no remainder? (1) n is divisible by m with integer result (2) m is divisible by 5.5 with integer result
1) Clearly ins
2) 5.5=11/2
If m/(11/2)=int then 2m/11=int
M is some multiple of 11, since 2 is jot a factor of 11. Sufficient

B

The answer is C in fact. The question asks if n is divisible by 11 with no remainder, not if n is divisible by 11 with an integer result and with no remainder.

Good catch! It is not given that m is an int, making 2 ins.

Say n = m = 5.5- yeah so? So S1 n/m =1 is true. S2 m/5.5 = 1 is also true but now your answer to the Qn stem is: False. In case n= m = 11x ( x is an integer) your answer is true. Based on these 2 points. Ans should be E. What is the source of this question??
