By POE., quickly eliminate, A C and E, leaving B and D. B is a better choice of the two. Because if The number of automobiles built by Deluxe each year has increased sharply since 1970, then it cannot attribute the number of cars on the road to the durability of automobiles manufactured Deluxe motor manufactures

By POE, I will choose E for the first one and B for the second one

I think the solution to this is to realise that, for the man to hit the target is to at least hit the target once. Required probalilty = probability that he hit 1, 2,3, or 4 times) = i - probability that he hit none = 1 -(3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4) = 175/256

Wow, kudos. you have definately nailed the test. Congratulations and wish you all the best in your applications as well.

I thought the argument here is removing the tarriff would seriously hamper the goververnment's efforts to reduce urban unemployment over the nesxt five years. if there is a condition which shows that the government can remove the tarrif and have little consequence, as C demostrates, then that weekens the argument. Doesn't E strenghtens the argument that removing the tarriff would seriously hamper the goververnment's efforts to reduce urban unemployment over the nesxt five years

I would go for C on this one.

I would pick A for this one.

Kernland imposes a high tariff on the exports of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. if the tarriff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world markets prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews. however, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tarriff would seriously hamper the goververnment's efforts to reduce urban unemployment over the nesxt five years Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument C. more people in kenland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them E. A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in kernland off their land and into the Cities I am getting C but the offical answer is E.

I wonder why the anser is E.

that was a typo in the first line, i meant to say, we can't say for sure

Statement 2 can also be proved this way let me change the fractions into xy sice xy > 1/2 x = 0.5/y x + y = 0.5/y +y = (y + 0.5)/y = 1 + 0.5/y. given that y is positive, the ezpression 1+0.5y will always be greater than 1

CRACKGMAT, how do you calcualet the maximum and minimu value without knowiny Y. ellaborate on your method

MBA4me, By combining 1 and 2, we get 0 as the remainder, in all the numbers that you have. So that leaves the answer to be C. You don;'t have to do so many times to prove this,

Yehaa, why are you getting E. In statement 1 we can say for sure if x X becaue if you raise both negative and positive numbers to an even power, it will always be negative and thus depending on their sign on emay be greater than the other. for instance -3 4 Similary 3>2, if you end up squaring 9> 4. Now with statement 2, raising any number to odd power maintains its signs and thus it is easy to draw a quick conclusion. If 1/2 > 1/3, Raising each to add odd power will still retain that relationship.

thanks GMAT_help

There is an easy way to solve this kind or problem. Know that for every 5 there are tow possibilities of getting a number that can be divisible by 5, the number preceeding that 5 and the 5 itself. Find the number of fives that eist between 56 and 150 using a series First term is 60 and the last term is 150 From Un = a + (n-1)d, 150 = 60 + (n-1)5 n -1 = 90 n = 18 now multiply 18 x 2 to get 38 So answer become 38/95 the 95 is obtained from (150-56 + 1)

20. Despite the approach of winter, oil prices to indus- trial customers are exceptionally low this year and likely to remain so. Therefore, unless the winter is especially severe, the price of natural gas to indus- trial customers is also likely to remain low. Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion above? (A) Long-term weather forecasts predict a mild winter. (B) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead. © The largest sources of supply for both oil and natural gas are in subtropical regions unlikely to be affected by winter weather. (D) The fuel requirements of industrial users of nat- ural gas are not seriously affected by the weather. (E) Oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe winter weather than is the distribution of natural gas.

ongratulation zerogee. Very impressive score and what a way to finish the much dreaded verbal. Good luck and continue comming to the forum to help us out. Bye

To add to what chimmi said, when one is using appositive as a modifier, it must be placed as close as possible to the noun that it is modifying. thus A sounds best and gramatically correct. As soniya317, E commits run-on sentence error

I am getting A for the first one. B is wrong for the following reason. People who believe they are receiveing the drug may not actually be receiving the drug. It is only a believe and they may or may not be right in their believe. A establishes the point that, People given the tested drug always develop its symptons and thus they are always noticed, this defeats the pirpose of the researchers who do not want people to know the people taking the drug. With 2, it shd be B as given. because if it happends that a particular date chosen by a religious group fall on a certain day. it may mean these group would have to miss work once in a week.

I will go with C

This shd be B because of parallelism and the right usage of idiom. Its a tricky question.
