The total number of plums that grew during each year on a certain plum tree was equal to the number of plums that grew during the previous year, less the age of the tree in years (rounded to the nearest lower integer.) During its 3rd year, this plum tree grew 50 plums. How many plums did it grow during its 6th year? Choose the correct choice.
A) a) 41	B) b) 38	C) c) 35	D) d) 29	E) e) 28
The answer shud be 38.   (50 - 3 - 4 - 5 =38)   Yes, if you go the 50 - 3 way, then it will be 38. If instead you go the 50 - 4 way (which they have suggested), the answer will be 35. As I said, there is ambiguity here.answer is c) 35
