I am sincerely grateful for your advice

Please advise about my chances of an MBA finance in top 20 Nationality-INDIAN Age-29 Marine Engineering graduate-(93-97) Work Experience- 1 year apperencticeship in a shipbuilding and repair company( govt. owned) 8years experience of working at sea on ships with an US based(4 years), an Italian(1 year), and a Honk Kong based company ( 2+ year). I am certIfied Chief Engineer of a merchant vessel. This is the highest certificate of the marine engineering.

Is 2 1)x^2 -5X+6 2 If x=2.5 YES If x=3.5 NO THUS insufficient 2)5 x^2-25X>0 0>x>5 ||||||||||||||0____2______________4_____5||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Here NO for all values between 2 and 4 THUS sufficient Answer B Please correct me if I missed something

I wasted lot of time on this queston more than it actually deserves. It needs more data. I got it in Cliff test. I do not ahve the answer. But as I have mentioned. Since we can draw many triangles with all the data taken together, we will get many areas. The answer must be E Hey scoot, AB is not the hypotenuse. It is the diameter of the circle. I am sorry if the improper diagram confused you.

1) DC=16 here as the size of circle is not fixed we have infinite number of possiblites 2) AB=12 With only diameter, we still have so many possible triangles Both taken together also we can draw various triangles by moving C along the radius by varing OC while keeping the circle same i.e. (AB=12) and (DC=16) WE can have various possible values for area So, the best choice must be E 1.bmp

O is the center of the circle. What is the area of the triangle of DOC 1) DC=16 2) AB=12 untitled.bmp

Me too D statement 1 (2M^3+2M)/8=(M^3+M)/4=M(M^2+1)/4 Case M is odd Then M^2+1 must be even But squares are either multiple of 4 or exceed multiple of 4 by1 so, at best (M^2+1) can be a multiple of 4 plus 2 Therefore, it will not be a multiple of 4 so, M can only be even and precisely multiple of 4

33. M is a positive integer, is M odd? (1) 2M3 + 2M is divisible by 8. (2) M + 10 is divisible by 10.

n adroja Thanks for correcting me and sorry for delay, I regret to have confused so many people. Answer should be C as posted earlier. I probably was dreaming and hope not to make such mistakes on test. when we take both statements we conclude that slope of K will be 4>(slope K) >3 so it is greater than 2

(1) r r r can be 0.05, 0.15, and 0.25 so, t=0 or 1 or 2 not sufficient (2) r r r can only be 0.05 so, t=0 sufficient Answer B

1) x-y is divisible by 3. 6 and 3 YES 5 and 2 NO 2) x+y is divisible by 3. 3 and 6 YES 2 and 4 NO combining two x-y=3*a x+y=3*b adding x=3*(a+b)/2, (a+b)/2 must be an integer for x to be integer. Thus x is divisible by 3 My answer is C

To view answers Tools--> options ---> go to the view tab --> Check "Hidden Text" ---> Hit OK Akshay Bhai, Even I was asking the same question. But Read the so generous comp bos's message When you click on the link you get the unanswered question. Next on the tool bar hit TOOLS; it opens up a menu: select OPTIONS; A WINDOW OPENS UP ;tick HIDDEN TEXT; and select OK at the bottom; Then say thanks to comp bos

(A) stomach disorders severe enough to have them ENOUGH +infinitive is wrong idiomatically and THEM? (B) stomach disorders that were severe enough so they were Idiomatic problem and THEY? © stomach disorders of such severity so as to be SO AS TO is redundant as TO is enough; Moreover, SUCH…SO AS TO is wrong (D) such severe stomach disorders that they were (E) such severe stomach disorders as to be Formal-It was such a loud noise as to wake everybody in the house. What is the subject(doer, I mean) of ‘to wake’ it can only be LOUD NOISE Similarly, (E) such severe stomach disorders as to be Here the subject can only be STOMACH DISORDERS. But this is illogical and I wonder if one can do so (D) such severe stomach disorders that they were Here THEY can be STOMACH DISORDERS or DRUGS. This is closer to perfect at least 50% better than (E) Informal- It was such a loud noise that it woke everybody in the house.

© 14 percent higher than the previous year’s figure OFFSETS demands that the following part of sentence cannot be parallel to the main clause because SALES is plural. So this is wrong

4. Which three of the following fractions are equivalent? v=5/80*w=0.05/0.08*x=0.5/8.0*y=0.05/0.8z=0.05/0.008 (A) v, w, and x (B) v, x, and y © w, x, and y (D) w, y, and z (E) x, y, and z It is a ETS test paper 42 question Suggested answer is B I think D is the answer 2. The employees of Smith Enterprises received wage increases ranging from 30 cents to 87cents per hour. What was the minimum wage increase for a 40-hour week? (A) $12.00 (B) $23.00 © $34.80 (D) $35.00 (E) $35.20 Suggested answer is D I got A It is test paper 48 question

20. Is x negative ? (1) n^3(1-x^2) (2) (x^2-1) It is a gmat+ question. The suggested answer is C But I think it should be E or the question should be Is n negative? Please comment.

Congrats and Best of luck That was really a frank and fair advice. It will sure help me

I think the question says 3*x/y is prime number and the number is greater than 2

20. If y ≠ 3 and 3*x/y is a prime integer greater than 2, which of the following must be true? a. x = y b. y = 1 c. x and y are prime integers My answer was A but the suggested answer was NONE I think it is a typo please confirm

If two lines are perpendicular the product of their slope is -1 (slope L)*(slope K)=-1 statement 1 (slope L) > -1/3 i.e if slope of L is positive then slope of K must be negative i.e. less than 2 but if slope of L is say, -2/5 then slope of K must be 5/2 i.e. greater than 2 so insufficient statement 2 (slope L) minimum value of slope of K possible is 4 therefore is sufficient My answer is B

Is x^4 * y^2 greater than y^4 * x^2? 1) x>y 2) x^2>y^2 x^4*y^2 > y^4*x^2 ? x^2 > y^2 ? assuming x |=0 & y|=0 Statement 2 directly answers this Statement 1 will give contradictary answers if the signs of x and y are varied so is insufficient If the assumption is not done then the answer will be E but if it is given in the stem then answer will be B

225)A stock X's price decreased by 40% from 1981 to 1982. Is the price of the stock at the end of the 1983 is higher than it was in 1981? 1) The price in 1983 is $3 more than in 1982. 2) The price of the stock in 1983 is $15 Let x be the price in 1981 therefore, price in 1982=0.6*x STATEMENT 1 price in price in 1983 is more than price in 1982 by $3 If say price in 1983 is $5 then in 1982 it is=$2=0.6*x (we assumed earlier) therefore price in 1981=$3.33 In this case answer is YES If say price in 1983 were=$21 then in 1982 it is =$18 therefore price in 1981=$30 here we have answer NO so this statement is insufficient STATEMENT 2 is also insufficient alone we can take cases to prove it but combining two is sufficient so, my answer is C

It is D all others have the same modifier trouble

I think it is A A) presumed to be of the same species, and so B) presumed to be of the same species that-the following statment should be describing teh species but since it details a result it is not proper ot use THAT C) presumed that they are of the same species, and so D) that they have presumed to be of the same species, so that E. that they have presumed are of the same species, and
