Question: w and k are Integers

Comment on w and k are Integers

When I got ans as 42, a thought came to my mind that why I am assuming 3400w as 3400 * w and why not as 3400w(w is digit from 0-9)?

On the GMAT, the question will specifically tell you if a variable represents a digit. Here's an example from the GMATPrep practice test: https://gmatclub.com/forum/if-x-and-y-each-represent-single-digits-in-th...

How to say in the 350-500 category.
By the way, when you're on the module page (e.g., https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-integer-properties), you'll see that the questions are color coded.
GREEN = 350-500
YELLOW = 500-650
RED = 650-800

oh okay, I found that it is often the case that I would do much worse on 650-800 than on lower ones, would that prevent me from 650 if I want to get that score or better?

Getting difficult questions wrong on the GMAT does not significantly reduce your score, whereas getting easy questions wrong will definitely hurt your score.
