Let me know if you have further questions. :)

"Most" denotes a number which 51% or more. "Seldom" denotes a frequency. So I think yes they can be use together. Also the meaning conveyed by the statements A and b above are different B- 51% or more of the cell phone related accidents will NOT happen at all. A- 51% or more of the cell phone related accidents will happen but rarely. so it would depend on the logical predication of the sentence. Let me know if find something otherwise in print.

E is correct

Adverbial Modifiers " when the word being modified is not a noun, the modifying phrase is called an adverbial phrase" so I think here we are trying to modify "widespread" so "formerly" should be used

Hi Aporva, let me try |x| + |x-1| = 1; let us reduce this on number line first equate the quantity inside the modulus function to zero we get x = 1; so now we will have to solve the eqation for values higher than 1 and lower than 1 which means we will have to solve the equation in blue region and red region on number line. Please read blue and red regions separately here 0=1; so x-1 will be +ve[/i] x is +ve hence our equation is ...................................hence our equation is x -(x-1) = 1 ...........................................................x + x-1 =1; 1= 1; this means that in this interval its ......................x= 1 true for all values ----0--------------------------------1-------------------------------- this reduces our range of x as 0 If you find this complicated there are other ways too. Thanks:)

More than one hundred years ago, students of ornithology reported that hummingbirds can hover as insects flitting gracefully from one flower to another. A- as insects flitting gracefully from one flower to another B- like insects flitting gracefully from one flower to another C- as insects do that flit gracefully from one flower to others D- like insects do that flit gracefully from one flowers to others E- as do insects that flit gracefully from one flower to some other one.

Forced to cut back their stock, automobile dealers in the area have cut prices; their pick-up trucks have been priced to sell, and they are. A – have been priced to sell and they have B – are priced to sell, and they have C- are priced to sell and they do D – are being priced to sell, and have E – had been priced to sell, and they have

question can be framed does x belong to [0,1] st 1: not sufficient as x can be anything greater than 0 st 2 not sufficient as x can be anything less than 1 together YES x belongs to [0,1] hence C

St 1: 2n is divisible by 3; as 2 is not divisible by 3 hence n is divisible by 3..but we cannot say about divisibility by 6 St 2: 6^2 + 1 =37; 10^2 + 1 =101 not sufficient together 1 and 2 tell us that n is divisible by 3 and 3^2 + 1 =10; 6^2+ 1 = 37; 9^2 + 1 =82; hence n = 6, beacuse then it is divisible by 3 and n^2 +1 is prime hence C

yeah in that case answer will be C. But what to do if such question comes in exam first up :( ???? I thought of C but then I viewed the question mathematicaaly so I did not ignore -ve values. I dont know what others have to say on this.

st 1: r1^2 > r2^2 OR r1/r2>1 it implies that magnitude of r1 is greater than r2, but still we need two things, for dollar value a) amount invested in X and Y& b) sign of r1, r2 (assuming r1 and r2 can be -ve as bond can make loss, interest earned can be negative) st 2: i1/i2 > r1/r2 alone this also does not tell us anything. combining 1 and 2 i1 > i2 and r1 and r2 are of same sign, and magnitude of r1 is greater than r2. so if r1 and r2 both are positive then, i1r1>i2r2...desired result but r1,r2 are both negative then i1r1 Hence I answer should be E

Hi, I have a doubt for this question... By definitaion a rational number is a number that can be expressed in the form p/q, e.g pi is not ration because value of pi cannot be expressed as p/q. Now question itself says that a number c/d- which means that number is expressed as a c/d , hence this numebr is RATIONAL. Am I missing something ?

thanks, didnt think with that insight. OA is D

thanks puru! although I have one more query - how do we know when 'the' is acting as determiner and when is it used as an 'article'? i ask this because I understnd from your previous post that - if the is used as determiner then the element that 'the' refers to should be defined earlier in the sentence and if the is used as aricle then it might not be defined.

another fault is "unable to be" correct usage is 'unable to'
