Approach to solve this GRE Set Theory Practice Question
Step 1: Let Set A comprise all numbers less than 200 that are multiples of 3. Find n(A).
Step 2: Let Set B comprise all numbers less than 200 that are odd multiples of 5. Find n(B).
Step 4: Find Set A ∩ B to find the number of numbers less than 200 that are multiples of 3 and are odd multiples of 5.
Step 3: Find Set A ∪ B to find the answer to the question.
GRE Numeric Entry Question
Last summer vacation John played with Sam either in the evening or in the morning, never once playing both in the morning and the evening on the same day. On a few days, John did not play with Sam. If they did not play in the mornings for 18 days and did not play in the evenings on 21 days and played together 27 days, how long was the summer vacation?
Approach to solve this GRE Numeric Entry Question
Step 1: Assign a variable for the total length of the vacation. Let it be n days.
Step 2: Express number of days they played together in the mornings in temrs of n.
Step 3: Express number of days they played together in the evenings in temrs of n.
Step 4: Add expressions in steps 2 and 3 and equate it to the number of days they played during the vacation and solve for n.
GRE Quantitative Comparison Question
A = {3, 5, 7, 11, 13}, B = {2, 3, 4, 5}
Quantity A Quantity B Number of subsets of A comprising of at least 2 elements, sum of whose elements is odd. Number of subsets of B comprising of at least 2 elements, sum of whose elements is even. - Quantity A is greater
- Quantity B is greater
- The two quantities are equal
- Cannot be determined
Approach to solve this GRE Set Theory QC Question
Step 1: All elements of set A are odd. Sum will be odd when the subset comprises either 3 or 5 elements. Compute number of such subets.
Step 2: Set B comprises 4 elements. List down possible scenarios when the subset has 2, 3, and 4 elements when the sum will be even and count the number of such subsets.
Step 3: Compare the two quantities and determine the answer.
-
In a group of people, n watched only La Liga and 2n watched EPL. If 34/n watched both La Liga and EPL, how many watched La Liga?
Approach to solve this GRE Set Theory question
Step 1: Shortlist the values that n can take such that 34/n is an integer as the number of people watching both La Liga and EPL has to be an integer.
Step 2: For each of the shortlisted values, find out the number of people watching only La Liga, EPL and both and determine whether that is a feasible combination. If it is, the value is a possible answer.
