What is the remainder when positive integer ‘p’ is divided by 3?
(A) ‘p’ is an even number
(B) ‘p’ is a perfect square
a) If statement (A) alone is sufficient to answer the question but statement (B) alone is
not sufficient.
b) If statement (B) alone is sufficient to answer the question but statement (A) alone is
not sufficient.
c) If the two statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither
statement alone is sufficient
d) If each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question
e) If the two statements taken together are still not sufficient to answer the question.

1 Answer

Answer :

Using (A), we can have ‘p’ as 2/4/6/8 etc. we cant determine remainder when divided
by 3.
Using (B), we can have ‘p’ as 1/4/9/16 etc. we cant determine remainder when divided
by 3.
Using both ‘p’ is the square of an even number. So ‘p’ can be 4/16/36 etc.
We see that remainder can again be 1/0 (4/16 leave remainder 1, 36 remainder 0).
So, we cant determine using both statements.

Last Answer : Work done by A in one day = 1/5 and work done by B in one day = 1/7 They are working alternately. Therefore, Work done in first two day = (1/5 + 1/7) = 12/35 Work done in first four day = 24/35 Work done in ... = 4/35/1/7 = 4/5 of the day. Therefore Total days taken = 5 + 4/5 = 29/5 days Answer: b)
