Example Question #71 : Numbers And Operations
Which is the greater quantity?
(A) The sum of the even integers from 21 to 30 inclusive
(B) Three times the sum of the prime integers from 21 to 30 inclusive
(B) is greater
(A) and (B) are equal
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(A) is greater
(B) is greater
The even integers from 21 to 30 inclusive are 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30; their sum is
The prime integers from 21 to 30 inclusive are 23 and 29. their sum is
and three times this sum is
This makes (B) greater
Example Question #72 : Numbers And Operations
What is the sum of the prime integers between 75 and 100?
The prime integers between 75 and 100 are
Their sum is
Example Question #73 : Numbers And Operations
Which is the greater quantity?
(A) The number of composite integers between 41 and 50 inclusive.
(B) The number of prime integers between 41 and 50 inclusive.
(A) is greater
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(A) and (B) are equal
(B) is greater
(A) is greater
The only prime numbers among the ten in the range 41 through 50 are 41, 43, and 47; this makes three prime numbers and seven composite numbers, so (A) is greater.
