[Math Revolution GMAT math practice question]

If the range of set A is 5 and the range of set B is 11, which of the following CANNOT be the range of sets A and B combined?

A. 10
B. 11
C. 12
D. 13
E. 14

If the range of set A is 5 Let A= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,}

If range of set B is 11 B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,}

Only CANNOT be the range is 10, Least can be 11

Hence A
What if 0 is an element of one of the sets? Then 10 is also possible

=>

For example, if A = {0,5} and B = { 0, 11 }, then the set A is included in the set B and the smallest possible range of the sets A and B combined is 11, which is the range of the set B.
Thus, any number less than 11 cannot be the range of sets A and B, combined.

Therefore, A is the answer.
Answer: A
