hello - I see why all the other choices are wrong, but can somebody please explain how come C is correct. is it not ackward: led to the passage in 1999 of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act

If n and p are positive integers, what is the ratio of n to p? (1) np = 48 (2) p2 – n2 = 28 (A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) is not sufficient. (B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) is not sufficient. © BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient. (D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient. (E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Bose is correct. B it is.

OA is A and I believe it should be wrong. i am also getting E.

Answer can not be A. Firstly, it is not given that x is an integer. so it is very much possible that x^5 = 2, which satisfying the condition but that means x = (2)^1/5 - this is not even. So A alone is not good. Also, second statement is not enough because for the reason coolstrugler explained. So answer can be C or E. Answer should be C. If you try out any value which satisfy both the condition, it will even! for example 0, 2, 4...and for all the fractions and odds it will not satisfy.

x is the sum of y consecutive integers. w is the sum of z consecutive integers. If y = 2z, and y and z are both positive integers, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT 1. x = w 2. x > w 3. x/y is an integer 4. w/z is an integer 5. x/z is an integer

For any integer k > 1, the term “length of an integer” refers to the number of positive prime factors, not necessarily distinct, whose product is equal to k. For example, if k = 24, the length of k is equal to 4, since 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3. If x and y are positive integers such that x > 1, y > 1, and x + 3y 1. 5 2. 6 3. 15 4. 16 5. 17

OA is D

Hi Folks, what will be the answer to a question like this. I looked at the 1st statement and decided that it is sufficient. I looked at 2nd statement and found that insufficient. I found the question so simple that I never gave a second thought and picked A as answer. But the OA is C. I can see how the question is trying to dupe but is it how we are suppose to answer in real GMAT. BTW this is not from OG. this is from an online test. Sprinter A and Sprinter B ran 100 yards in opposite directions. Sprinter A started at the finish line for Sprinter B and Sprinter B started at the finish line for Sprinter A. If each sprinter ran at a constant speed, which sprinter ran the faster? (1) Sprinter B crossed the finish line in 10 seconds and Sprinter A crossed the finish line in 11 seconds. (2) Sprinter A was running with the wind and Sprinter B against the wind. (A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) is not sufficient. (B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) is not sufficient. © BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient. (D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient. (E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

sorry folks I vaguely recall that the OA is B

C is the OA

HI the OA is B. B and C are both correct as far as grammer but there is a subtle difference which makes the B better then C. C implies that the policy is maintained by club. but in the original sentence "they" does not have clear referent. So in C it assumes that clubs have maintained the policy and not anybody else B does not makes that assumption.

OA is C

Can somebody please tell a good source to comprehend "comparison" related SCs. Lot of times I have problem splitting the sentence and find out from which exact point the clauses need to be paralleled. lets take the following sentence: the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity to run as the regular mode does Above sentence is the correct one. RED color depicts the the part of the sentence which needs to be paralleled. But I get confused when I try to make it parallel: - noun "energy-save mode" is equal to "regular mode" - "uses" is equal to "does" because it is verb Does anybody has better strategy or source. Becuase when the above sentence starts looking good, they throw following more options to break the hell loose: (A) the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as running the regular mode (B) the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity to run as the regular mode does (D) running the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as it does for the regular mode (E) to run the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as for the regular mode

Sales reports from video rental stores show that new action movies involving a certain actor have been the best selling movie of the year for seven years in a row. Knowing this, a movie rental store owner plans to buy more copies of the actor’s newest movie when it comes out than she will of any other movie. But after stocking many copies of the new movie the number of rentals for the movie turns out to be very disappointing. Which statement, if true, best helps explain the discrepancy above? (A) Her customers have rented lots of copies of the actor’s earlier movies. (B) There were several good action movies released at that time. © She did not buy enough copies of the movie. (D) Her customers prefer dramas to action movies. (E) This movie did very well at the box-office.

I don't see what is wrong with the C. But B looks good too. Conservationists and environmentalists routinely implore people to consider using the energy save functions on home appliances such as dishwashers since the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as running the regular mode. (A) the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as running the regular mode (B) the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity to run as the regular mode does © running the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as the regular mode does (D) running the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as it does for the regular mode (E) to run the energy-save mode usually uses half as much electricity as for the regular mode
