  1. Trying to solve the problem.. 0.7*a + 0.50*b = 6.30. I listed the multiples of 7 and 5. After adding the last two digits of these two multiples the sum should have 3 as the last digit. so only 7*4 = 28 and some other multiple of 5 ( 8+5 = 13 , last digit 3 => for 6.30 ) is possible. So 4 apples are fixed Hence, we get 4 + 7 = 11. So B is the answer.
  2. 10 + 14= 24 -------> 24/2= 12 The median length and width is 12 cm Now that you have the original and new lengths and widths, find the area for each: 14 x 10= 140 12 x 12= 144 Next, find the difference: 144 - 140= 4 The area has changed by 4 cm.
  3. i say B as well. the stimulus here is implying that industrialists could not have promoted war for money making motives because profits went down during the war. The assumption is that industrialists suffered as a result of the war as indicated by the decreasing profits. The question here is asks about the weakness. So I would look for something that destroys the assumption. Basically that something else caused profits to sink and that industrialists weren't affected. A cannot be the answer because its out of scope. There is no mention of profits. Increase productivity does not necessarily mean increased profits. Sometimes businesses that increase productivity have increased costs...so don't fall into that trap!
  4. couple of splits - decide vs deciding I belive - The normative model ......suggests that executives examine..... and [decide/deciding]..... I will go with decide. i.e The normative model ......suggests that executives examine..... and decide Hence, B & C are OUT Now between A, C, E A - WRONG - Not parallel. C - CORRECT - The text using the set of objective criteria derived from these analyses is a modifier that modifies "decide". E - WRONG - Not parallel.
  5. You can see that A, B, C and E can all be even by trying a = 8, b = 4 for A, B and C, and a = 8, b = 2 for E. So by elimination, D must be correct. We can prove this: If a/b is even, then a must be even. If a is even and a - b is even, then b must also be even. So a, b and a/b are all even; a/b = x, or a = bx, where b and x are both even. So a is the product of two even numbers; a must be divisible by 4. Now look at answer D: (a+2)/2 = (a/2) + 1 We know a/2 is even, since a is a multiple of 4. So a/2 + 1 is even + odd = odd.
  6. Hi, As per the figure given in the Set1 . the angle x denotes angle BCD. can u let me know how we can use (1) to find that. yes if the question asks angle BCA then thats = 50 so (A) can be answer.
  7. yep right ability to, capability of, that is the difference.
  8. We can answer this question just by noticing that the second bold statement is a conclusion (because it follows "therefore"). Only choice C correctly states that the second bold statement is a conclusion ("a position"). Therefore, choice C must be correct. As an aside, a statement can NEVER be an assumption because, by definition, an assumption is unstated.
  9. From Stem : Price Paperback = $ 8 Price Hardcover = $ 25 , Number paperback >10 , P = { 11, 12, ....} P and H are integers St1> 25* Number Hardcover >=150 Number Hardcover > =6 Then , H = { 6, 7, ....} Since question requires a unique value, INSUFFICIENT St2> 8P + 25H Since Greatest Common Factor of { 8, 25, 260} is different from 1, More than one solution , INSUFFICIENT From St1 and St2 > While P and H can only be integers Plug the minimmum values for H and P at 8P + 25H Eg. ( P, H ) at 8P + 25H ( 11, 6 ) , 238 ( 11, 7 ) 263 ( 12, 7 ) 271 From this point, all other combinations will NOT comply the inequality. Then , there is a unique value for H = 6 answer = C
  10. We can summarize the argument as follows: Flute fragment found with 4 notes of the diatonic scale. Therefore, creators of flute knew about and used the diatonic scale. In order to reach that conclusion, the author has to assume that the 4 notes on the fragment aren't just coincidentally on the diatonic scale. Our prediction for a strengthener: some actual evidence that it's not just a coincidence OR something that allows us to extrapolate more info from the 4 notes on the fragment. Only choice (e) gives us useful information. If we know that the flute could have contained the entire scale, that's more evidence that the creators knew about and used the scale.
  11. B it is. Columnist says that no taxpayer have been treated unjustly. How can we support this? elected representatives support the art with tax dollars. so if they gaurantee the funding of a particular art activity as they would have legitimately funded the activity themselves then this provides support for the columnist argument (no taxpayer is unjustly treated).
  12. you can always replace "due to" with "caused by". technically, then, this statement would be declaring that immigrants themselves were caused by the law. therefore, yes, (e) is wrong for this reason I think D should be the correct answer
  13. From question we get: Line k = {y-y1 = m(x – x1)} passes through origin (0,0) So line k = y-0 = m(x-0) Line K is y=mx Line k passes through point (a,b). Therefore, substitute (a,b) in y=mx We get b=ma (1) The slope of line k is negative b=-ma Not sufficient (2) a b=ma a=2 b=3 a=-3 b=-2 Not Sufficient (1) & (2) b=-ma a let us say |m|=1 b=-1.a if a=2 then b=-2 (not possible since a if a=-2 then b = 2 (possible since a a has to be negative to satisfy a Therefore b – turns out positive all the time. HENCE [C] is the answer
