What’s the source
TIME IPMAT book

A varies directly with cube of B when C is a constant and inversely with square of C when B is a constant.
When B = 24 and C = 6, then A = 36, find A when
B = 12 and C = 3.

Can you explain ?
a=2(x+y)/z -3 = 2(y+z)/ x -3 = 2(x+z)/y -3

Which means (x+y)/z = (y+z)/ x = (x+z)/ y

Now you add 1 on each of the 3 equations

Gives (x+y+z)/ z= (x+y+z)/ x= (x+y+z)/ y

Which means z= x = y and there you have it

Perfect, thanks a lot

I understood the solution but how to conclude that 1 is the answer? Is it because x = y = z ?

Substitute x,y and z as x in the first equation for a

You can take az= 2(x+y)-3z, similarly ay and ax
Add all 3 to get a(x+y+z) = (x+y+z) which gives a=1

In critical reasoning questions, if a statement supports the argument then should the negation of that statement necessary has to weaken the argument also?

Can we find the correct answer by applying this technique?

The chart above shows political and geographic data on a certain legislative committee of 20 members, each of whom belongs to 1 of 2 political parties and lives in 1 of 4 regions. How many subcommittees of this legislative committee are possible that contain exactly 1 member from each of the 4 regions and the same number of members from each of the 2 political parties?

A. 10
B. 20
C. 99
D. 246
E. 495

Deconstructing the wording, we find that we need subcommittees with one member from each of the four regions, resulting in exactly four members, of which two are from Party A and two from Party B.

Since Party B has fewer members and they reside in fewer regions, let’s construct the subcommittees starting with Party B first. As Party B must delegate one member from each region it is represented in, we have the following scenarios for Party B’s delegation:

    1. From North and South;
    2. From North and East;
    3. From South and East.

Let’s count the possibilities:

1. Party B delegates one member from North and South: this can be done in 2*4 = 8 ways. In this case, Party A should delegate from West and East: this can be done in 3*2 = 6 ways. Total for this case = 8*6 = 48;

2. Party B delegates one member from North and East: this can be done in 2*3 = 6 ways. In this case, Party A should delegate from South and West: this can be one in 1*3 = 3 ways. Total for this case = 6*3 = 18;

3. Party B delegates one member from South and East: this can be done in 4*3 = 12 ways. In this case, Party A should delegate from North and West: this can be done in 5*3 = 15 ways. Total for this case = 12*15 = 180.

Total = 48 + 18 + 180 = 246.

Answer: D.
