IMO D

First of all, you are incorrect because OA is not D

Secondly, if IN YOUR OPINION it is D, we would like to hear how you come up with that. Do not waste people time in Math discussion with IMOs.

Removed my post since I came up with A but dint ahve the correct logic.

Forgot this ; thanks Logitech for posting "THE STAMPS QUESTION"

Made my day

Trust me being polite/courteous towards others will not hurt u. Think about it for sometime and get back.....

Seriously, could u not have just said

Jack,
The OA is A. If you could help me understand your thought process on D we could discuss further.




Please dont make things more complicated than what it really is in terms of communicatiing!!!

Thanks! Have a great day!!! Extra smiley just for u buddy!

See Cramya I can be nice too

I appreciate your effort; still a long way to go on the NICE part. Lets see if u can maintain this for the rest of your stay on this forum.

My best wishes though

I have actually seem this trend before (from MGMAT question). Statement 2 gives me a clue about what statement 1 could be.

statement 1:

15x+29x=44x

440/44=10.

ERIC - SMART SMART SMART!!

Two statement never lie to each other! VERY GOOD CATCH...I did not see it.

By the way you missed the zero at the end of 44

15x+29x=440x

Oh no, I just do the problem in 2 steps.

step 1: figure out total is 44x
step 2: 44x=440
x=10

Sorry for being vague.

..I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for correcting me.

Eric,
The only thing I would disagree is using what given in Stmt II in evaluating Stmt I.

When we evaluate Stmt I Stmt II does not exist.

In your case if u were to consider stmt II hinting something when evaluating stmt I (not sure if it can be done) but then it shoukd lead to C) and not A)

Logitech,
I know u published the OA but can u please double check. I could have been wrong with the 7 number.

Please CHECK the OA again just for it is worth. I must be missing something here and may be we need the experts to jump in and provide their thoughts.

Regards,
Cramya
