q9: if n is even,n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 8 for sure, total 48 even numbers if n is odd,n and n+2 are odd, n+1 must be divisible by 8, so n+1 must be 8k,(k=1 to12) total 12 numbers total 60/96=5/8 q16 1 is not sufficient (no information regarding male) 2 is not sufficient (no information regarding hair) 1,2 together are notsufficient(no information regarding the overlap between 20 males and 30 hairs) q29 a1997,a1998,a1999 100*a1998=(100+x)*a1997 100*a1999=(100-y)*a1998 question:a1999>a1997? a1999=(100-y)*(100+x)/10000 * a1997 so the key to answer the question is to determine (100-y)*(100+x)/10000 >1? <=> -100y+100x-xy>0? <=> xy/100<x-y ? 2 is sufficient 1 is not(i.e.if x=20,y=18,1997">"1999; if x=6,y=4,1997"<"1999) |
