Solution for GRE Math Problem 38:
How many three-digit numbers are?
The first digit can be any of 9, the second - any of 10, so does the third. Total 9x10x10=900 combinations.

How many three-digit palindromes are?
The first digit can be any of 9, the second - any of 10, and the third one must be exactly the same as the first, thus, leaving only 1 possibility. Total 9x10x1=90.

The probability that a three-digit number chosen at random is a palindrome is 90x900=0.1

Compare two values:


Column A
Column B
The area of the shaded region
The area of the yellow region


Solution for GRE Math Problem 20:
Since x + y = a, y + z = b, and x + z = c, a+b+c=2x+2y+2z=2(x+y+z). So, x+y+z=. And the average of x, y and x is
Answer:(D)
