1. each increment of 10 -> 10 times the value
In (125,165) there are 4 increments of 10. Hence, 165 on this scale is (4*10)*10=400 times 125.
2. Leak rate -> 1 cup/hr
No. of hrs travelld -> 2
No. of cups leakd -> 2*1=2cups
Hence, the no. of cups dat cud hav been used -> 10-2=8
But, 1 cup was left over at the end of the hike. Hence, no. of cups actually used -> 8-1=7
Of these 7 cups, 3 were consumed in the last mile. Hence, remainin 7-3=4 cups wer used in the first 5 miles.

Q2) Water leaks @ 1l/hr => At t = 1, 1 l leaks out and at t=2, another 1 l leaks out.
Total water leaked at the end of 2 hrs = 2.
Harry drinks 3 l in last 1 mile
Hence water used up by Harry in first 5 miles = 9-2-3 = 4
Avg l/mile = 4/5
q1) This is a ques from OG and frankly speaking, i cud not understand the solution. still trying to figure out a solution from my physics book (measurements chapter)
thanks

I had a similar prob fig out these intensity probs
here is how u can approach it:
in 125 number of 10's is 12 so it can be read as 12500
165 can be read as 16500
difference is 400
I wud reckon the 2nd one is D
whtz de OA?
Yes, the OA for the second one is D.
Please Explain! :)

q1) B
q2) let first odd no. be x
hence sum of first 6 odd nos, = 6x+30 = 6a
hence a = x+5
As x is odd, x+5 is always even.
For x = -5(an odd no), a becomes zero.
i am nt able to digest he D can be the OA can be D
For me its B.
thanks

Yes the OA for the Q1 is B, you are correct!
Actually i am also not able to digest OA for Q2.
I dont know , whether i am doing some basic mistake or not...?
Isn't -5 , -3, -1, 1, 3, 5 a consequitive odd series?
The sum can be zero and thereby the avg is also zero.
The only correct option which i feel is the third one.
Moreover, can you please explain the Q1.
Because i feel it should be C ( Both Together ) , since the question asks is positive integer r an even number...?
How can you say it is from 3It can be even or odd ....???
Makes sense? I dont know ... i think i am going crazy as my exams are coming closer ....thanks for your input Srikanth267!!

Coming to ur query on q1
Stem 1: r is a prime no. (can be any no n need not necessarily be 2) hence not suff
Stem 2: Its 3
Hence B is suff to answer the ques.
But q2) I'll go with B, can't think of any other way.
thanks

Stem 1: r is a prime no. (can be any no n need not necessarily be 2) hence not suff
Stem 2: Its 3Anyways, in this range, there is no prime no which is even (BTW 2 is the only even prime no in number system)
Hence B is suff to answer the ques.
But q2) I'll go with B, can't think of any other way.
thanks
Thanks, Srikanth.... Yes i typed the inequality incorrectly ...sincere apologies for that!
But I am still unable to understand the logic behind the Q1 's answer being B !! The Prime No. part is mentioned only in Stem 1. So if we look at the stem 2 , ie, 3

alchemist-mba SaysA.M = (3+k+2+8+m+3) / 6 = 4 => m+k = 8.... (m,k) = (1,7)(2,6)(3,5) or (7,1)(6,2)(5,3) --> in all cases median is '3'.

1.on a certain scale of intensity, each increment of 10 in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in intensity. On this scale an intensity corresponding to a magnitude of 165 is how many times an intensity corresponding to a magnitude of 125?

harry started a 6-mile hike with a full 10-cup canteen of water and finished the hike in 2 hours with 1 cup of water remaining in the canteen. If the canteen leaked at the rate of 1 cup per hour and harry drank 3 cups of water during the last mile, how many cups did he drink per mile during the first 5 miles of the hike?

A. 4 cm ?
Whats the OA?
Calendar SaysThe answer should be D. whats the OA?
The Answer given in Pearson's GMAT Prep (LPE) Test 1
is B ( Statement 2 Alone ....)
However, even for me the answer is D.
Coz the max value you can give X is 9 and then Y becomes 11,
which makes U+V = 19 which is lower than 20.
Y cant be negative , since its the greater one and if you assume X to be negative it will increase Y's value and thus reduce the U+V 's value.
Tell me if you are with me?
( At last i am not the only one!!) A. 4 cm ?
Whats the OA?
Has to be 4 cm.
