If m is an integer, is m odd ? 1) m/2 is not an even integer 2) m-3 is an even integer IMO - D 1 - m/2 is not even so its odd --- m is an even integer 2 - m-3 is even - Odd - Odd = even so m is odd

1. On the Great Plains, nineteenth-century settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without timber and nails. (A) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without (B) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, did it without © settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making them while not having (D) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making do without (E) settlers’ homes were built of mud and grass, making do without I didnt understand the OA. I was stuck between A and B and chose B. Please explan

Thanks a lot, :) this scares me... I should be more careful

1. Many of them chiseled from solid rock centuries ago, the mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia are dotted with hundreds of monasteries. (A) Many of them chiseled from solid rock centuries ago, the mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia are dotted with hundreds of monasteries. (B) Chiseled from solid rock centuries ago, the mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia are dotted with many hundreds of monasteries. © Hundreds of monasteries, many of them chiseled from solid rock centuries ago, are dotting the mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia. (D) The mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia are dotted with hundreds of monasteries, many of which are chiseled from solid rock centuries ago. (E) The mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia are dotted with hundreds of monasteries, many of them chiseled from solid rock centuries ago. Stuck between D & E, D -- many of which --- refers to monasteries E -- many of them --- them seems to ambiguous pronoun, as it might refer to both montainious regions or monsteries. Please correct my understanding.

A bit of confusion between D & E, but will go for D as second part of E seems to be wrong.

Thanks Preity.... :):)

Soince Number Line is already showing how t r & s are placed, so if we are able to prove r = -s then it will be proved 0 is half way between r & s. If the number line wasnt shown in the question, then C would be the answer.

Stmt 1 - |x+3| = 14 => |x+3+4| = |x+7| = 17 Stmt 2 - (x+2)^2 = 169 => (x+2) = +13 & -13 so |x+2| = 13 => |x+2+5| = |x+7| = 18 So its D

agree with B

Silvergator -- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :):)

I agree my mistake. Just slipped out. Coz in second case it can be anything. So Ans - A

Q1- Ans D Stmt 1 - .15x + .29y = 4.4 as how many combinations are possible - only one as 0.15+0.29 = 0.44 . So both tickets of 10-10 pieces to have total of $4.40 Stmt 2 - equal no. of both stamps - .15x + .29x = .44x = 4.4 ==> x = 10 Q2 - Ans B Stmt 1 - It says at the time of crossing Av speed of Train P is 70 mph. So, trains speed can be anything before that. So cannot find how far did Train P go. Stmt 2 - Thruout Train Q's speed was 55 mph. So in two hrs it will go 110 miles. Hence Train P is nearer to its destination

If m and n are both 2 digit integers and m - n = 11x What is the value of x ? 1. The tens digit and the unit digit of m are same 2. m + n is multiple of 11
