Sofia will attend a sequence of daily training sessions for her job. On the last day of her training sessions she
will attend either 1 session or 2 sessions. On each of the other days of her training sessions she will attend
exactly 2 sessions. At the end of her third day of attending training sessions, how many sessions will Sofia have
left to attend?
(1) The sequence of training sessions Sofia will attend will last 6 days
(2) There are a total of 11 training sessions in the sequence of training sessions Sofia will attend

An infinite sequence of positive integers is called a coprime sequence if no term in the sequence shares a
common divisor (except 1) with any other term in the sequence. If S is an infinite sequence of distinct positive
integers, is S a coprime sequence?
(1) An infinite number of integers in S are prime.

(2) Each term in S has exactly two factors.
[Reveal] Spoiler:
Struggling to understand the answer as B.
Considering statement 1
If integers in S are prime they have exactly two factors and therefore this statement is same as B and therefore
should be sufficient.

3 Given a series of n consecutive positive integers, where n > GMAT Data

Given a series of n consecutive positive integers, where n > 1, is the average value of this series an integer
divisible by 3?
(1) n is odd
(2) The sum of the first number of the series and (n – 1) / 2 is an integer divisible by 3
For me the answer is D. can someone please let me know if you think its not correct? Unfortunately, I don't
have an OA. This is how I solved it. Also, please let me know if there is any shortcut or any concept that you
guys can see straight after reading the questions.
Statement 1 --> n is ODD. When there are ODD terms in the consecutive series the average will be an integer
that will never be divisible by 3. Hence NO and therefore this statement is sufficient.
Statement 2 --> Let's say n=7 and 1st term = 3. So 3+(7-1/2) = 6. 6+3 = 9 which is divisible by 3. Average value
will be 6 which is divisible by 3.
Lets say n = 13. Average value will be 9 which is divisible by 3. Therefore this statement is also sufficient to
answer the question.
