The correct answer is E: Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

47. Every third Alb gives a click. This means no click is awarded until the third Alb is captured. The second
click is not awarded until the sixth Alb is captured. Similarly, a tick is not awarded until the fourth Berk is
captured.

We are told that the product clicks x ticks = 77. Thus, there are four possibilities: 1 × 77, 7 × 11, 11 × 7, 77 ×
1.

Clicks Awarded Albs Captured Ticks Awarded Berks Captured

1 3, 4 or 5 77 308, 309, 310, or 311
7 21, 22, or 23 11 44, 45, 46 or 47
11 33, 34, or 35 7 28, 29, 30 or 31
77 231, 232 or 233 1 4, 5, 6, or 7

Statement (1) tells us that the difference between Albs captured and Berks captured is 7. Looking at the chart,
the only way to get a difference of 7 between Albs captured and Berks captured is with 35 Albs and 28 Berks.
Therefore, statement (1) is sufficient to answer the question--there must have been 35 Albs captured.

Statement (2) says the number of Albs captured is divisible by 4. Again, looking at the chart, we see that the
number of Albs captured must be 4 or 232. Therefore, statement (2) is not sufficient to answer the question--we
do not know how many Albs were captured.

The correct answer is A: Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

The question gives a function with two unknown constants and two data points. In order to solve for the
position of the object after 4 seconds, we need to first solve for the contants r and b.  We can do this by
creating two equations from the two data points given:

p(2) = 41 = r(2) – 5(2)2 + b

41 = 2r – 20 + b
61 = 2r + b

p(5) = 26 = r(5) – 5(5)2 + b

26 = 5r – 125 + b
151 = 5r + b

We can now solve these equations for r and b using substitution:

61 = 2r + b
(61 – 2r) = b

151 = 5r + b
151 = 5r + (61 – 2r)
151 = 3r + 61
90 = 3r
r = 30

Substituting back in, we can find b:

61 = 2r + b
61 = 2(30) + b
b=1

So, we can rewrite the original function and plug in t = 4 to find our answer:

p(t) = 30t – 5t2 + 1

p(4) = 30(4) – 5(4)2 + 1
p(4) = 120 – 80 + 1
p(4) = 41

The correct answer is D.

Let us call the Trussian's current age a. Therefore the Trussian's current weight is .
Seventeen years after he is twice as old as he is now, the Trussian's age will be and his weight
will therefore be .We are told that the Trussian's current weight,  , is three keils less than
his future weight, . Therefore, .We can solve the equation as follows:

 
a = 16 or 4. However, we are told that the Trussian is a teenager so he must be 16 years old.
The correct answer is C.

This problem is easier to think about with real values.

Let's assume that there are 2 high level officials. This means that each of these 2 high level officials
supervises 4 (or x2) mid-level officials, and that each of these 4 mid-level officials supervises 8 (or x3)
low-level officials.

It is possible that the supervisors do not share any subordinates. If this is the case, then, given 2 high
level officials, there must be 2(4) = 8 mid-level officials, and 8(8) = 64 low-level officials.

Alternatively, it is possible that the supervisors share all or some subordinates. In other words, given 2
high level officials, it is possible that there are as few as 4 mid-level officials (as each of the 2 high-level
officials supervise the same 4 mid-level officials) and as few as 8 low-level officials (as each of the 4
mid-level officials supervise the same 8 low-level officials).

Statement (1) tells us that there are fewer than 60 low-level officials. This alone does not allow us to
determine how many high-level officials there are. For example, there might be 2 high level officials,
who each supervise the same 4 mid-level officials, who, in turn, each supervise the same 8 low-level
officials. Alternatively, there might be 3 high-level officials, who each supervise the same 9 mid-level
officials, who, in turn, each supervise the same 27 low-level officials.

Statement (2) tells us that no official is supervised by more than one person, which means that
supervisors do not share any subordinates. Alone, this does not tell us anything about the number of
high-level officials.

Combining statements 1 and 2, we can test out different possibilities.

If x = 1, there is 1 high-level official, who supervises 1 mid-level official (12 = 1), who, in turn,
supervises 1 low-level official (13 = 1).

If x = 2, there are 2 high-level officials, who each supervise a unique group of 4 mid-level officials,
yielding 8 mid-level officials in total. Each of these 8 mid-level officials supervise a unique group of 8
low-level officials, yielding 64 low-level officials in total. However, this cannot be the case since we are
told that there are fewer than 60 low-level officials.

Therefore, based on both statements taken together, there must be only 1 high-level official. The correct
answer is C: BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
