Re: Quant Question of the Day Chat [#permalink]

Consider the case of x=18 In this case, x+10=28, which means sum of digits 10. Consider the case of x=90 x+10=100 the sum of digits is 1. E
let the number be 10x+y , add 10 to it, it becomes 10x+(y+10), assume that after this operation , the two digit no is of form 10a+b, now compare 10x+10+y with 10a+b , we get , a=x+1 and y=b , so the sum of its digit i.e a+b =x+y+10 =9+1=10

A is not sufficient because value of r is unknown

Hi gmatphobia
I checked twice but I’m getting 11/63. Could you point out the error in below.
P(Only 1C) = P(T)-[p(0C)+P(2+ C)]
{9!-[(9!-8!*2!) + 6!*4!]} / 9! = 11/63

Re: Quant Question of the Day Chat [#permalink]
Got it. It’s C - 8/21

P(only 1C) = 3{P(1+ C)-[2*P(only 2C)+P(only 3C)]}
P(only 3C) = 6!*2!*2!*2!/9!
P(only 2C) = P(2+ C)-P(only 3C)= (7!*2!*2!-6!*2!*2!*2!)/9! (for only 1 pair of 2couple, *3 for all )
P(1+ C)=2*8!/9! (for only 1 couple, *3 for all )
Substitute in first eqn to get 8/21

Re: Quant Question of the Day Chat [#permalink]
What is the value of x?

(1) x−2x=1


2

=
1

(2) xx=1

What is the value of x? (1) x^(-2x) = 1 (2) x^x = 1

can we take zero to the power zero as 1?

Re: Quant Question of the Day Chat [#permalink]
B looks surficient for this

x^x=1

x can only be 1, as if it is -1 it does not change signs

Re: Quant Question of the Day Chat [#permalink]
because if you consider: 0^(1-1) which implies that 0^0=0/0

so that is why gmat does not use it
