Re: DS-Annual Salary

I think the answer is C. Here's how: Since M has the greatest annual salary, the differences can be setup so that: (M-J) = 2*(M-K) Simplifying, you will get: (2K - M) = J Stmt I alone, or Stmt II alone will not give you all 3 annual salaries so you can compute mean. But both together, give you K and...

Number Theory question

I saw this question on a forum for the IIM CAT prep and seemed interesting. Q: If a is an integer, and the tens digit of a^2 is 7, what is the units digit? Ans: 6 So the way I solved this was brute force by squaring numbers till I got 24-square = 576, hence assumed the rule applied to all subsequent...

Re: Number Theory question

Anyone / Instructors? Is there an easy way to do this using algebra? What am I missing? and If a is a positive integer, is the tens digit of a^2 odd? I. the units digit of a is equal to 4 or 6 II. the units digit of a is equal to 3 or 5 What would be the best way to approach this and solve quickly, ...
