tough one
plugging is the best way to solve(r=0 when n=5, 7, 11, 13...) IMHO
if u want to solve(not just pluging in) it then here is my approach
we have 24=2*2*2*3=8*3
(1)if 2 is not a factor of n then the n-1 and n+1 are even numbers and one of them have has 4 as a factor then (n-1)(n+1) has 8 as a factor
(2)if 3 is not a factor of n the either n-1 or n+1 has 3 as a factor(at least one of three consecutive integers is divisible by 3, since it's not n, the preceding or the next integer is divisible by 3).
putting 2 statements together we can see that (n-1)(n+1) has both 8 and 3 as a factor thus divisible by 24
Yeah, the answer is C
n=2
$C=600
If she had sold 8 sets of encyclopaedias, her income in March would have been $4600.She actually sold 3 sets of enc. and she earned $1600 in March
I liked the question, good one
if the one side(A) is 6 then the other side is 3(B)
As far as Area(S)=Side(A)*Perpendicular on that side(H)
so H =3 which equals B
It means that the angle between A and B(two sides of the parallelogram) must be right(only this contion will satisfy the fact that B equals H), in fact we have rectangle. the answer is E
