I believe the answer should be E. There is no information to say that Face value is 50. Face Value is the value without adding premium. May be for this share, the face value could have been 10 or even 100. Also as per GMAT, we should not bring any outside information. In this question , there is no information about face value. Given that, If you only analyze the data given in the question. Profit Made = 2 + Dividend. As there is no information about Face value, we cannot calculate Dividend.

1 B A.Firms should continuously reorganize to keep up with changes in the market place. WRONG . There is no reference in the question to conclude that the firms should continuously re-organize. Its too extreme. Organization should re-organize only when the world around them changes B.Firms should choose a simple organizational structure and keep it that way. CORRECT C.Firms should choose a matrix structure which can be re-organized more rapidly than other organizational structures. WRONG . Out of Scope. No reference to matrix structure D.Firms should invest in staff training to increase their adaptability. WRONG. Stem doesn’t discuss about training E.Firms should invest in research to keep abreast of changes in the market place. WRONG. Out of Scope ----------------------------------- 2C A.Both federal and firm income tax rates have been lowered considerably during Clive’s term in office. WRONG. I believe this is the second best answer. Here we have to assume that actually reduction in the tax rates impacted the budget. B.In each year of Clive’s term in office, the firm’s budget has shown some increase in spending over the previous year. WRONG. Nothing to weaken the conclusion C.The rate of inflation in the firm averaged 10 percent each year during the previous CEO’s term in office and 3 percent each year during Clive’s term. CORRECT. If you reduce the inflation part of each CEO’s budget former CEO 11 – 10 = 1% hike Clive – 4 – 3 = 1 % hike This states that actual hike by both the CEOs is 1% WRONG. D.During Clive’s term in office, the firm has either discontinued or charge its employees for numerous services that the firm offered free during the previous CEO’s term. WRONG. This strengthens the conclusion E.During the previous CEO’s term in office, the firm introduced several so-call “strict” budgets intended to reduce the growth in firm spending. WRONG. This ------------------------ 3 D Conclusion:- If new law is passed, teenage unemployment rate will no longer increase. Premises:- The minimum-wage levels recommended by government often prices teenagers out of the labor market as most employers cannot afford to pay that much for additional help. Assumption :- Teenagers are out of the labor market as most employers cannot afford the minimum wages recommended by the govt. or teenagers are out of labor market as the minimum wages got increased. The conclusion can be weakened by attacking the assumption. Option D attacks this assumption. It says that the even when minimum wage remained constant teenagers unemployment has risen. It means that the teenagers unemployment rate is not related to minimum wage but something else ---------------------------------------------- 4 A Premises:- 43 Corporations - > net income more than $200 million = 53% of Total taxable income from foreign sources reported on all tax returns 60% of total taxable income from foreign sources => came from 200 returns reporting income from 43 or more countries A.Some of the corporations with net income above $200 million reported income from 43 or more countries. CORRECT B.Most of the total taxable income earned by corporations with net income above $200 million was earned from foreign sources. WRONG. There is no information to support the statement that for the corporations with net income above, total taxable income was earned from foreign sources. C.Wealthy individuals with large personal incomes reported 47 percent of the total taxable income from foreign sources. WRONG. Out of Scope. No discussion about wealthy individuals D.Income from foreign sources amounted to between 53 and 60 percent of all reported taxable income. WRONG. No information about the ratio of income from foreign sources to total taxable income E.Most of the tax returns showing income from 43 or more countries reported net income of more than $200 million. WRONG ------------------------- 5 E Conclusion:- Senators conclusion of modern photography portrays nudity and is thus obscene is wrong as most of Michelangelo’s works depict nudity but are not obscene. Statement E states that one cannot compare Michelangelo’s work with modern arts as both are of different value. Something like comparing a super luxury car with a normal car. This weakens the conclusion by attacking the evidence provided to argue against senators’ points.

I believe the mistake is in the new equation - x/2+10/x=6 . Looks like you substituted x with x/2 or you can say you divided x by 2 By doing this real effect on the equation given in question stem x + (5/x) = 6 is 1)Multiplied the first element with ½ 2)Multiplied the second element with 2 3)No changes to third element ( other side of equal sign ) In short the whole equation got changed from the parent equation.

IMO D As per Qn Stem y= mx z= ny By combining the above equations => z=mnx 1) xz is even. .x or z or both should be even If both even , SUFF .x or z even => Given that z=mnx , if x is even z will become even If x is odd, z should be even as xz is even, for that mn will be even So SUFF 2)y is even Given that z= ny , irrespective of the value of n, z will be even SUFF

IMO D (1) There are 36 handshakes among the female attendees and 21 handshakes among the male attendees. Among means Male and female hand shock within their group Let # of Male be m and # of Female to be f mC2 = m!/{(m-2)! * 2! } = 36 m(m-1)/2 = 36 m = 9 fC2 = 21 f = 7 So total = 9 + 7 = 16 SUFF (2) There are 120 handshakes among all of the attendees. Lets Say total attendees = t tC2 = 120 t = 16 SUFF
