Set A = { x,11,15,19, 23} *The numbers were randomly distributed in the set. Then find the value of x??
Statement 1: The numbers are in A.P
Statement 2: x is a prime number
Read Solution (Total 11)

- @Vivek......Read my statement carefully........Numbers in the Question were randomly arranged like: 19,23,x,11,15
So, if we will use the 1st statement only, value of x can be 7 or 27
But if we will use the 2nd statement along with the first statement, then out of 7 or 27, only 7 is a prime number....So, the required value of x= 7 only......
Now tell guys, am I right?? - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(38) No(13)
- Only stmt 1 is sufficient to solve this problem...
23-19=4, 19-15=4. 15-11=4, 11-x=4 ..since numbers are in AP..i.e X=7 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(14)
- with statement 1 the common difference is 4
according to rule of arithmetic progression the number is 7
with statement 2 the prime number has difference 4 with 11 is 7
so answer is
either statement 1 or statement 2 is sufficient for to solve the problem - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(9)
- Both Conditions are required. The value of x is 7.....
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(11)
- If numbers are randomly distributed, then 2 conditions:
a={11,15,,19,23,x} OR
a={x,11,15,19,23}
So both the conditions are required...

- only 1st condition required
as it is in AP its format will be in a,a+d,a+2d ....
here a+d=11
a+2d=15
from solving these both eqn d=4,a=7
so x=7 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(7)
- ans is 7.
each number in a set was increased by 4.
therefore
x+4=11
x=11-4
x=7 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(5)
- 7[difference is 4.due to they are in AP]
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans is 7,since given numbers are in A.P the difference between two adjacent no must be constant
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Both the conditions are required
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- only two possible ways to arrange these two numbers in a.p
x,11,15,19,23 or 23,19,15,11,x
from statement one we can say x=7(bcz d=4)
from statement that can be 9,7,5,3,1
so A is answr - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
