    Hi Suresh ,

    In the second ( problem solving ) explanation , I think x must divide 210 rather than 120. ( since 840 / 4 = 210 ). If we factorize 210 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 . We get 22*22 = 16 factors ( So ans does is 16 ).

  7. From the discussion DS Problem

    Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:22:19 -0000

    FIRST STATEMENT SAYS , E on Y axiz , 4 units away from origin.. But in which direction ? It could ( 0,+4 ) or ( 0,-4) .. so A is alone not sufficient.

    THE SECOND STATEMENT is also not sufficient ,  since we dont know E.

    But as OLahah explain , if we use both the statement , we can cross check E’s distance form C with two points i.e. (0,+4) and (0,-4). Out of these , only ( 0,+4 ) sutisfy the second condition.

    So answer is C

  8. From the discussion the continuous rain

    Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:26:37 -0000

    How did u come to the conclusion that it was seen continuous till 11:30 am? Question does not mention till what time it was seen continuous. ( It just says that it was seen continuous at 3 hours before it really stopped ) . I agree with oLahav. Answer should be C.

      It is given in Statement 2 that at 9.30 AM, 40% of “continuous rain” is more to come. Since it (“continuous rain”) started at 6.30 AM, it follows that “continuous rain” was seen/forecast till 11.30 AM. Since, the rain finally stopped 3 hours after it was seen continuous, it follows that it must have stopped at 2.30PM.

      Hope, it is clear!

  9. From the discussion feelings of fatigue

    Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:14:21 -0000

    Pretty confusing question, but Suresh solved it with simplistic manner. That is what everybody should learn here ( rather than just focusing on ques’s ans ) , the way to approach the problem. Really good job Suresh , keep it up.

  11. From the discussion what fraction of c

    Thu, 02 Apr 2009 05:02:45 -0000

    Here’s one approach: Set S: We know that the largest number is b and the median is 3b/4. Since the median is in the middle of the numbers of set S, we know that the smallest number in set S is 2b/4 You can see that 3b/4 (the median) lies directly in the middle 2b/4 and b (i.e., 2b/4, 3b/4, 4b/4) So, set S ranges from b/2 to b

    Set Q: Here the largest number is c and the median is 7c/8. Using similar logic from above, we can conclude that set Q ranges from 6c/8 to 8c/8, with 7c/8 squarely in the middle.

    Here’s the important step. 6c/8 is the smallest number in set Q. This value is equivalent to b (the largest value in set S)

    So, now we have a relationship between c and b. We know that 6c/8 = b From here, we can find two integer values for b and c that satisfy this equation amd determine how sets S and Q might look.

    One solution is b=6 and c=8 For set S, we know that the largest value is 6, so keep adding numbers until we meet the criterion that the median is 3/4 b. We do the same with set S, beginning with c=8. From here we can conclude that set S={3,4,5,6} and set Q={6,7,8} The median of {3,4,5,6,7,8} is 5.5, which means the median is 11/16 of c

    We could have chosen other numbers for b and c but the fraction remains 11/16 For example, b=12 and c=16 gives us S={6,7,8,9,10,11,12} and Q={12,13,14,15,16} The median of {6, 7, . . . 15, 16} is 11, making it 11/16 of c

  12. From the discussion what fraction of c

    Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:19:54 -0000

    ANS :=> C. 11/16

    Prepare the equations like 1) For set S (b-a)/2 = (3/4)b i.e. a = -1/2 b 2) For set Q ( c-b ) / 2 = (7/8) c i.e. b = -6/8 c

    Now for set R , c-a/2 = ? put value of a in the form of b , then put value of b in the form of c , Solve it ( ans : 11/16 c )
