(A).
This question draws upon knowledge of the smaller prime numbers.
It might be helpful to list out the first few prime numbers on your paper: 2, 3,
5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…
The smallest prime number greater than 13 is 17, and the greatest prime
number less than 16 is 13. Therefore, Quantity A is greater.

To find the sum of a set of numbers, given the average and number of
terms, use the average formula. Average =
, so Sum =
Average × Number of Terms = 35 × 11 = 385.

(D).
To find the sum of a set of evenly spaced numbers, multiply the
median (which is also the average) by the number of terms in the set. The
median of the numbers from 1 to 80 inclusive is 40.5 (the first 40 numbers are
1 through 40, and the second 40 numbers are 41 through 80, so the middle is
40.5). You can also use the formula
to calculate the median of
an evenly spaced set:
= 40.5. Multiply 40.5 times 80 to get the
answer: 3,240.

p
is a large number, but it consists entirely of
q
+ 149 + 150. Thus,
p
–
q
is what’s left of
p
once the common terms are subtracted: 149 + 150 =
299.

There is a trick to this problem—all of the integers in the product
n
will be canceled out by the same integers appearing in the product
m
:

(C).
Integers
a, b
, and
c
must be 6, 4, and 2, respectively, as they are
positive even integers less than 8 and ordered according to the given
inequality. The range of
