Can You Solve This GMAT Brain Teaser?

Monday May 5, 2008
We are now in our second week of the GMAT challenge. Once again, Intergrated Learning has provided us with another great practice GMAT question.

See if you can answer it:

GMAT Practice Question 2

Q is a two digit number. If 7 is the tens digit of q, what is the units digit of q to the 4th?

1) q is an even integer.
2) q is not a multiple of 5.

A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) is not sufficient.
B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) is not sufficient.
C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

So, what do you think? Is the answer A, B, C, D or E? You can post you guess in the comments (see below) or discuss the question in the Business School Community Forum.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for the answer!

The answer for practice question 2 is C.

(2) Tom Steele says:

C. Because 72,74,76 and 78 raised to the fourth power all end with ‘6′ as the units digit.

However, 70 must be excluded, so the statement that it cannot be a multiple of 5 must be part of the information given, and;

71 must be excluded so the statement that Q is an even number is required.
