When 3^n is divided by 4, remainder is a multiple of 3 ==> n is odd.

I. For all odd n’s, remainder will be 1 if n^2 is divided by 4. Correct.
II. As n is odd, (-2)^n is –ve. Correct.
III. n can be 9 or 15 or some other composite odd number. Incorrect.
Correct answer is D.

We can see that in order the condition to hold true n must be odd.
I. n^2 divided by 4 yields the reminder of 1 --> odd^2 divided by 4 always yields the reminder of 1. So, this statement must be true.
II. (-2)^n is less than 0 --> (-2)^odd<0. So, this statement must be true.
III. n is a prime number. Not necessarily true.

Now, the initial probability of drawing red marble is 5/8. Without knowing the other results, the probability of drawing red marble

will not change for ANY successive draw: second, third, fourth, ..., seventh. Thus the probability that the seventh marble is red is
5/8.
The same for blue marble: the probability of drawing blue marble is 3/8, the probability that for instance the 8th marble drawn is
blue is still 3/8. There is simply no reason to believe WHY is any draw different from another (provided we don't know the other
results).

I'm able to solve till here-

Since 1/2 is in the set, the so must be:
-x^2 = -1/4;
-x^3 = -1/8.
[b]Doubt 1-
However, what I failed to understand is why set should continue beyond -1/8 as we don't know the number of elements in the set,
and since this is a must be true question, the below solution seems redundant to me.
Bunuel wrote:

-x^3 = 1/64;

-x^2 = -1/64.
The only number we cannot get is 1/2^(1/3).
Doubt 2-
I am hopeful that I lack some understanding the above solution will most probably be correct. In that case, I want to understand
what will be maximum no of elements in this set. Will this be an Infinite set.
Doubt 3-
Will the answer behaved differently had this question been "Could be true"
Kindly elaborate.
Thanks

Given that 1/2 (different from 0) is part of the set, then Yes, this is an infinite set!

[/b]
"could be true" problems try to play on POSSIBILITIES when a lack of some sort of restriction allows the items to be true, somehow. If
the question was posed as "could be true", then ANY real number could be a part of the set. Think of it this way...
Could a real number X be a part of the set? Yes, if cbrt(-x) is part of the set (hypothesis), then x COULD be part of the set.

Bunuel what about the following points that also meets the given conditions of |x/3| + | y/9| = 10 but come with a different area.
(x,y) = (-3,81)
(x,y) = (-3,-81)
(x,y) = (3,-81)
(x,y) = (3,81)
In this case Area of the rectangle will be = 972
or you can have
(x,y) = (6,72)
(x,y) = (6,-72)
(x,y) = (-6,-72)
(x,y) = (-6,72)
In this case the area of the rectangle will be = 1728.
Can you please clarify

Let the rate of the draining pipe be liters per hour. Then the capacity of the tank will be ;
GPA: 3.65
FOLLOW SEND PM Now, when raining, the net outflow is x-3 liters per hour, and we are told that at this new rate the pool is emptied in 6 hours. So,
the capacity of the pool also equals to ;
Thus we have: --> --> .
Answer: D.
Bunuel,
Here is how I solved the problem. I must admit though I got it incorrect the first time I tried and when the answer choices didn't
showed my answer I gave it another shot.
Let x be the capacity of the pool. The rate at which the pipe drains the pool is x/4.
Now on the rainy day the pull is already full and its raining at the rate of 3 lit/hr. The total inflow of rain in 6 hrs is 6*3 = 18 lit. So
the pipe must drain x+18 lit in 6 hrs. The new rate is (x+18)/6 and we are given that these two rates are equal. Hence
x/4 = (x+18)/6 --> solving for x gives 36lits
Is this approach correct. I must say this didn't strike the first time I tried.
