Thanks Preity.... :):)

Soince Number Line is already showing how t r & s are placed, so if we are able to prove r = -s then it will be proved 0 is half way between r & s. If the number line wasnt shown in the question, then C would be the answer.

Stmt 1 - |x+3| = 14 => |x+3+4| = |x+7| = 17 Stmt 2 - (x+2)^2 = 169 => (x+2) = +13 & -13 so |x+2| = 13 => |x+2+5| = |x+7| = 18 So its D

agree with B

Silvergator -- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :):)

I agree my mistake. Just slipped out. Coz in second case it can be anything. So Ans - A

Q1- Ans D Stmt 1 - .15x + .29y = 4.4 as how many combinations are possible - only one as 0.15+0.29 = 0.44 . So both tickets of 10-10 pieces to have total of $4.40 Stmt 2 - equal no. of both stamps - .15x + .29x = .44x = 4.4 ==> x = 10 Q2 - Ans B Stmt 1 - It says at the time of crossing Av speed of Train P is 70 mph. So, trains speed can be anything before that. So cannot find how far did Train P go. Stmt 2 - Thruout Train Q's speed was 55 mph. So in two hrs it will go 110 miles. Hence Train P is nearer to its destination

If m and n are both 2 digit integers and m - n = 11x What is the value of x ? 1. The tens digit and the unit digit of m are same 2. m + n is multiple of 11
