155.        15795-!-item-!-187;#058&010817
If 500 is the multiple of 100 that is closest to x and 400 is the multiple of 100 that is closest to y, which multiple of 100 is closest to x + y ?

(1) x < 500

(2) y < 400

答案:是C还是E?

就是说有个数是X与他最近的100的倍数是500 所以可以推出是450到549.。。。
同理可以看出,Y在350到449之间。。。

通过条件1)==》x是450 到500之间(不到500)
通过条件2)==》y是350到400之间 (不到400)

所以x+y 就是800到900之间 (不到900)。。。 所以最接近的100的倍数是800.。。。 C!

对c答案还是有质疑呀:
题目中说是be closet toX+Y,如果X+Y=899,那最近的不就是900吗?
如果X+Y=801,最近的不又是800了吗??

【答案】E
【思路】
"500 is the multiple of 100 that's closest to x": this means that, of all multiples of 100, 500 is closest to x.
in other words, x is closer to 500 than to 400 or 600 (or to any other multiple of 100, for that matter). what does this mean?
it means that 450 < x < 550. (note that this is almost the same thing as "x rounded to the nearest hundred produces 500", except for the piddling exception of 450.)

(另一種說法:For 500 to be the multiple of 100 closest to x, x has to be between 450 and 550. If x is less than 450 e.g 438 then the multiple of 100 closest to x will be 400 and not 500. Similarly if x is greater than 550 e.g. 578 then the multiple of 100 closest to x will be 600 and not 500. )


the second half of the problem statement, similarly interpreted, gives the following: 350 < y < 450.

(1)
in combination with the question stem, this means that 450 < x < 500 (and we still know that 350 < y < 450).
therefore, 800 < x + y < 950.
this isn't good enough to answer the question; the numbers between 800 and 850 are closer to 800, the numbers between 850 and 950 are closer to 900, and 850 is equidistant from 800 and 900.
insufficient.

(2)
in combination with the question stem, this means that 350 < y < 400 (and we still know that 450 < x < 550).
therefore, 800 < x + y < 950, exactly the same inequality that holds for statement (1).
insufficient.

(1)+(2)
now we know that 450 < x < 500 and 350 < y < 400.
this means that 800 < x + y < 900.
still not good enough to answer the question; the numbers between 800 and 850 are closer to 800, the numbers between 850 and 900 are closer to 900, and 850 is equidistant from 800 and 900.
insufficient.

Ans = E
