Recent math problem below. answer:A (some say D?). Is it safe to say 1) is sufficient? My understanding for DS: the point is whether the condition(s) is sufficient, not necesarily whether valid answers can be reached. I would say C is the answer. Open to discussion.
twinhead, D is wrong. A=B=10 or A=B=20 ... all match 2). you should not combine 1) when looking at 2). 你对DS的理解有问题:>).
I understand the problem well, but do not feel comfortable using the "implied" assumption.
tongxun banzhu, can you give some hint on this one? I trust your comments...作者: tongxun 时间: 2002-9-19 09:05
pgclt: I am coming.
16,买邮票,A 0.29一个,B 0.15一个,问买了多少A?
1)总共花了4。4
2)A和B 买的数量一样
----------------------
According to condition 1), 0.29*A + 0.15*B=4.4。即29*A+15*B=440。
15*B的个位数为 0 或 5, 因此要想合的个位等于0, 则必须29*A的个位为 0 或 5。
而若29*A的个位为0 或5, 则A必须=5、10、15、20。。。。。
因为只有这样等式才有实数解。
将A=5、10、15分别带入等式,发现A=5时,B非整数,但邮票必须是整数个,因此A不可能等于5。
将A=10带入等式,得B=10。均符合等式与提议要求。
将A=15或大于15的数字带入等式,则发现等式虽能求解,但不符合提议要求:邮票(整数)作者: twinhead 时间: 2002-9-19 10:00
Thx for the re of pgclt.
For neglect as u mentioned, but not questionable in DS as ur conclusion, I change the answer from D to A. Anyway, the explaination of the sufficient of 1 is undoubted and same with tongxun. However, the point of "not necesarily whether valid answers can be reached" is really a fatal wrong in DS working.作者: twinhead 时间: 2002-9-19 10:08
