    Problem Solving

    When it has exactly one 2 and one 3, the following ways pop up:

    2 and 3 and 8 ways or 3 and 2 and 8 ways or 7 ways and 2 and 3 or 7 ways and 3 and 2 or 2 and 8 ways and 3 or 3 and 8 ways and 2; that totales to 1 × 1 × 8 + 1 × 1 × 8 + 7 × 1 × 1 + 7 × 1 × 1 + 1 × 8 × 1 + 1 × 8 × 1 = 46 numbers.

    And when it has two of one kind and one of the other, the following ways pop up:

    223, 232, 322, 332, 323, 233 = 6 numbers.

    I can see a total of 46 + 6 = 52 such numbers from here, and would go with (A).

  6. From the discussion Do You Like Strawberry?

    OK then, I can give you people a hint only:

    If from the remaining 24 people, 20 put the vanilla ahead of the chocolate, and 6 put the vanilla ahead of strawberry, then only 2 must have put vanilla at first position, leaving at least 18 people putting strawberry at first position (needless to know that at least 4 people will put chocolate at first position). Now see choices and apply common sense.

  11. From the discussion Cut down quant on GMAT

    Fri, 22 May 2009 12:18:19 -0000

    In a triangle, the unknown side, is more than the difference between the two known sides and less than the sum of the two known sides. So, the X would lie in the interval:

    4 < X < 18.

    To my surprise, this question is posted by me with 3 correct choices, namely A, B, and E. It must be typo, please read this question in fresh as under:

    Q.10: A triangle has sides of length 7, 11, and X. Which of the following cannot be X? A. 4 B. 7 C. 8 D. 12 E. 15 And answer it A.

    Q. 5: Each interior angle of an n-sided regular polygon is given by the following formula:

    {(n – 2)/n} × 180º.

    So, put n = 9 here and get the angle = 140º or D.
