I believe the answer should be 3+3+3+3+2 = 14. What is the OA?

I used the pie chart approach so the split the pie (recipe) into 5 parts Olive oil, 2 parts Vinegar and 1 part - even mixture (1/3 each) = total pie 8 Then, 5 parts Oil, 2*2 parts Vinegar, 2*(1/3) mixture = total pie 19/3 Therefore Olive Oil = 5*(1/(19/3) = 5*3/19 = 15/19

Second attempt: Question Is 2y = z + x or equidistant (1) : As rightly shown in the above post, simplifies to : 12 > x+y+z This can be multiple scenarios for sets, therefore statement is Insufficient. (2) : median of the set {x, y, z, 4} The problem here is that we don't know the relation of 4 with respect to the other numbers, therefore the median can be any of the following cases : Case 1 : {4, x, y, z} --> (x+y)/2 y > x which is already specified. Case 2 : {x, 4, y, z} --> (4+y)/2 y > 4 Case 3 : {x, y, 4, z} --> --> y > 4 which is contradictory (see case 2). Case 4 : {x, y, z, 4} --> (y+z)/2 y > z which is contradictory to given The only two valid cases are Case 1 and 2. Hence, Insufficient. (1) and (2) together : From statement we know 12> x+y+z: Case 1 : {4, x, y, z} --> y > 4 Case 2 : {x, 4, y, z} --> y > 4 The only set of values for integers y & z are y >= 5; z >= 6 ---- meaning the set order is (x, 4, y, z) = not equidistant Sufficient, therefore C Made some errors when posting the first answer but definitely takes more than 2 mins.

B or E, what is OA

Second attempt, I would go w/ B. Heres why The waste reduced should be a total for the division. The waste generation is by production although the metric is per production worker. Now if the production workers are increased then the waste per production worker would decrease (this is where the author throws us of or errs) However if the production volumes reduced then that changes the equation completely i.e. we assume it is CONSTANT. Hence B Would agree that it is misleading question.

IMHO C - 'which' introduces additional information or non-essential vs 'that' introduces essential/ supporting info/clause. 40 newspapers is the subject - verb should be reflect. I am still pretty new to SC prep so would appreciate your feedback.

'as well as' separates the 'them' to the antecedent 'Laws'. As well as POE the answer would A

This is good stuff, there are bunch of others out there too. Wonder if there is something good for CR or Math?

The question is asking for logical features comparison where a higher subset of classification has a property therefore the lower family must also exhibit the same property. On basis on this logic A & D are close choices. IMO A should the answer.

I was on a similar thought pattern but pay attention to the fact that for all x statement 1 is positive and that is only possible if A > 0. Statement 2 the +1 hinders A's requirement to be positive to satisfy the given condition.

I still doubt that ans is B. It doesn't prove that that Y is a fraction. None of the conditions are sufficient.

Yes, you re right. We cannot mutliply inequalities unless we know whether the number or in this case X+Y is +ve or -ve.

In my view, Verb with "None" depends on the word after “of”. E.g. “None of the students” need plural verb. “None” and “No one” are not same “No one” always takes singular verb[as per Princeton] whereas this isn't case with "None". To further extend, “No one” and “Not one” both take singular verb.
