karthikinvesta Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Anyone Got A Clue ????????????? Seems Weird Ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 it's E guys. statmt 1: we do not know if there are any apts between 500 and 600$ rent. statmt 2: we do not know how many apt cost each either 450 or 500 $ rent. Combining the two we know that there are half of the apts which cost 450$ each, but we don't know if there are any that cost 500$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdabas Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 looks like E to me too. Unless we have the total no. of apartments it cant be solved. :grad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tieuphong Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I think there must be some traps here. However, I can not spot any, thus I choose E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivek Goyal Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 'E' it is, but looks too simple to be 'E' type of a question ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarya Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 # of apts = x => total rent=600x % of apt with rent statement 1: Half of these apartments have a rent price lower than $500. x/2 pay not sufficient statement 2: There are four prices, $450, $500, $650, $800. how many pay each of prices? -> not sufficient statement 1&2: rent of half x/2 pay 450 => rent paid by other half => 600x-(450x/2) = 375x avg. for other half = 375x/(x/2) = 700 not enough to find # of apt with rent not sufficient answer = E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
