chetan2u in the 1st statement the smallest multiple of 13 is 13 and largest is 2210. So here can't I do 2210*13 (max value) - 13 (min. Value). Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Posted from my mobile device

Yes, that too will be correct.

2210*13-13 will be same as 2210*13-1*13=(2210-1)*13

Only point is 13 is not the smallest multiple of 13, it is the smallest positive multiple of 13, but here we are just concerned about 2210 consecutive multiples as the range will always be the same irrespective of where these lie.

What i understand from the word multiple is that it can be positive as well as negative, if the question mentioned whether all the values are positive or Natural numbers then it would have been better.

What is the range of set S ?

(1) Set S consists of 2,210 consecutive multiples of 13.

(2) The largest value in set S is 28,561, and this is the smallest value squared.

What i understand from the word multiple is that it can be positive as well as negative, if the question mentioned whether all the values are positive or Natural numbers then it would have been better.

The wording isn't perfect, but "multiple" by itself implies integer values. Also, the range of any 2,210 consecutive multiples of 13, whether positive or negative, would still be the same.

I want to question the validity of this question? As multiple of 13 can be negative?

where it is written it will start from 13. I mean the first number is 13 in this series - only consecutive numbers are written. Please clarify

What is the range of set S ?

Range: Difference between the two extremes, that is least and the greatest.

(1) Set S consists of 2,210 consecutive multiples of 13.
Thus, range is (2210-1)*13 as there are 2210-1 gaps.
Sufficient

(2) The largest value in set S is 28,561, and this is the smallest value squared.
Now, range is 28561-x, where x^2=28561.
If you realise immediately that x can be both positive and negative, you will not fall into the trap.
Thus we will have two ranges.
Insufficient

Values for statement II
\(x^2=28561\)
x=169....Range=28561-169=28392
x=-169....Range=28561-(-169)=28730.
Two values.


A

Note: Statement I should have said 2211 consecutive multiples of 13.
