Hi Richa, There are a lot of books, both good and bad, available in the market. But since you are just starting off, i suggest you go in for the Official Guides for GMAT that GMAC publishes. You'll have a sample of real GMAT questions. And you can make your basics strong the way GMAT wants it to be. But i don't think this book will suffice if you want to score somewhere above 700. You'll have to practice tougher materials for that. But to get you started, the OG is more than sufficient. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing !!!

IMO E. it is not clear what the pronoun 'their' in which may limit their potential to relieve is referring to - analgesic or patient. hence A, B and D can be eliminated. between C and E, E seems to be very explicit in what it is referring to. I've also read that the correct idiom is 'potential for causing'. This can be seen in the phrase - potential.... for relieving in E. thanks

IMO D. What's the OA?

IMO B Statement 1. m0 - is not enough as we get no information about n ---> INSUFF. Statement 2. 6m=9n ==> 2m=3n ==> 2m-3n=0 ---> SUFF. Hence B. Thanks.

IMO E Statement 1: K>0 It means that k is a positive value. But we get no information about x and y. Hence INSUFF. Statement 2: |x| It means that the absolute value of x Combining 1 & 2: Assume x=5, y=6, k=10 Hence the given relation becomes |5+10| Now assume x=-5, y=-6 and k=10. |-5+10| Since we can't conclude anything by combining the statements, E

If d > 0 and 0 I. c > 0 II. c/d III. c^2 + d^2 > 1 a. I only b. II only c. I and II only d. II and III only e. I, II and III Thanks in advance.

Can the positive integer p be expressed as the product of two integers, each of which is greater than 1? 1. 31 2. p is odd I shall post the OA shortly. If there is another thread that asks the same question, please post the link. Thanks in advance.

I marked D when i did the test. But the answer key says C - The price is 3 $.

IMO D. To maintain parallelism the idiom should be not X but Y. This form is seen only in D. Thanks.

IMO C. "The fact of" is not correct as in A. Also namely should refer to a noun, so it should be "considerable variation". For the same reason, B and E is also wrong. Between C and D, D is wrong because it uses "namely a considerable variation". "it is a fact that highlights" is wordy too. C gives a concise statement though i am not sure what the "it" after the first coma has as antecedent. Thanks

It is simple. Statement 2. Company R's revenue target for September of next year is $30,000 greater than its revenue for June of next year Target-sept = target-june+target-july+target-august = 30,000. if the target is given by x, then in each month the target increases by x so target-sept = 3x = 30,000 --> x=10,000 Thanks.

It is given in the question stem that a line from B to D bisects line ADC Thanks

IMO C. From the info given, AD=DC, angle BDC=BCD=2x. angle BAC = x. You need to draw a figure to understand the question properly. In addition, i have used lami's theorem to find the lengths, but i don't know if it is required in GMAT. I knew it and hence I used it. (Lami's theorem is that for any triangle, a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC where a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle and A,B,C are the included angles) Statement 1. AD=6. This means DC=6 and hence AC=12. But there is no information regarding the angles x and 2x. Hence INSUFF. Statement 2. x = 36 deg Here we get that angle BDC=BCD=2*36=72. and angle BAC=36. Thus for angle ABC, angle BAC = 36, BCA = 72 and ABC = 72. But there is no information on the length. Hence INSUFF. Combining 1 & 2, we have for triangle ABC LENGTH (AC) = 6 , ABC=72 and BAC=36. Using lami's theorem you will get AC/Sin ABC = BC/Sin BAC --> 12/Sin 72 = BC/Sin 36. You will be able to find BC from this equation. SUFF. Hence C Thanks.

IMO B. When you use consider you shouldn't use it in the form 'consider as' or 'consider to be'. Applying this rule here we see that the right form should be 'no one considered the management well organized' which is given by B. Thanks.
