A pharmaceutical company has called in a consultant for conflict resolution. The company has traditionally seen conflict between the Research & Development (R&D;) department and the Finance department. R&D; feels that Finance is too stuck on systems and procedures and needs to cut some slack for special circumstances and during emergencies. Finance does not trust R&D.; They feel the department takes things too easy and does not work enough to justify the funds that they continually ask for. This has created a difficult work environment with executives from both departments refusing to cooperate with each other and the managers playing their own political game.

The consultant has put down a list of problems after his preliminary discussion with both departments.
1. Unclear or inadequate administrative procedures
2. Inadequate people resources
3. Uncertain project schedules
4. Conflicting responsibilities
5. Conflicting goals and priorities.


Addressing which three of the problems listed above would resolve the conflict described in the passage?


A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2, 3 and 5
C. 1, 4 and 5
D. 2, 3 and 5
E. 3, 4 and 5

Medical doctor: Sleep deprivation is the cause of many social ills, ranging from irritability to potentially dangerous instances of impaired decision making. Most people today suffer from sleep deprivation to some degree. Therefore we should restructure the workday to allow people flexibility in scheduling their work hours.

Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the medical doctor's argument?

(A) The primary cause of sleep deprivation is overwork.
(B) Employees would get more sleep if they had greater latitude in scheduling their work hours.
(C) Individuals vary widely in the amount of sleep they require.
(D) More people would suffer from sleep deprivation today than did in the past if the average number of hours worked per week had not decreased.
(E) The extent of one's sleep deprivation is proportional to the length of one's workday.

How many palindrome numbers are there less than 1 million?

1 - Digit palindromes (a) = 9

2 - Digit palindromes (aa) = 9 x 1 = 9

3 - Digit palindromes (aba) = 9 x 10 x 1 = 90

4 - Digit palindromes (abba) = 9 x 10 x 1 x 1 = 90

5 - Digit palindrome (abcba) = 9 x 10 x 10 x 1 x 1 = 900

6 - Digit palindromes (abccba) = 9 x 10 x 10 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 900

So total number of palindromes less than 1 million is = 2(9 + 90 + 900) = 2(999) = 1998.
