Hey,
I have doubt on solution. I think D is correct answer.
Please someone clarify. Definitely it's not B.


You have to specify your doubt. Why D and not B?

Z = 231.abc

What is the result when Z is rounded to the nearest integer?

(1) When Z is rounded to the nearest tenth, the result is 231.5

(2) When Z is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the result is 231.46

What is the result when Z is rounded to the nearest integer?

(1) When Z is rounded to the nearest tenth, the result is 231.5
If a<5; When Z is rounded to the nearest integer, the result will be 231.
If a>=5; When Z is rounded to the nearest integer, the result will be 232.
NOT SUFFICIENT

(2) When Z is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the result is 231.46
When Z is rounded to the nearest integer, the result will be 231.
SUFFICIENT

IMO B

Please check whether OA is correct.


OA is ok..
(1) When Z is rounded to the nearest tenth, the result is 231.5
Say z is 231.467.....when rounded to nearest tenth, it becomes 231.5. But when 231.467 is rounded to nearest integer, it becomes 231
say z is 231.546....when rounded to nearest tenth, it becomes 231.5. But when 231.546 is rounded to nearest integer, it becomes 232
Different answers, so insufficient

Z = 231.abc

What is the result when Z is rounded to the nearest integer?

(1) When Z is rounded to the nearest tenth, the result is 231.5

(2) When Z is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the result is 231.46

Z = 231.abc

We need to answer the question:

Z rounded to the nearest integer = ?

Statement One Alone:

=> When Z is rounded to the nearest tenth, the result is 231.5

According to the conventional rounding rule, we have:

231.45 ≤ Z < 231.55

If Z = 231.450, then Z rounded to the nearest integer = 231. Whereas, if Z = 231.500, then Z rounded to the nearest integer = 232. Statement one is not sufficient. Eliminate answer choices A and D.

Statement Two Alone:

=> When Z is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the result is 231.46

According to the conventional rounding rule, we have:

231.455 ≤ Z < 231.465

We see that, for any value in the interval above, Z rounded to the nearest integer is 231. Statement two is sufficient.
