Copied from correct answer D "Because of a law passed in 1933 making " I'm confused about what are the rules for whether "making" in above sentence is a verb or participle. While attempting this problem, I thought it's participle and eliminated it ah yes, the dreaded "becau...
I got the same question in my CAT exam today and I spent a lot of time to figure out the question and the approach to do the same. Barring the 2-2.30 minutes golden rule, how much time would you suggest one must take to solve such a question?
that's a bad construction, but the reasons are largely irrelevant to this exam. the only thing that might be relevant is 'the walking of Tony'. this sort of construction DOES NOT refer to an action performed BY tony. rather, this is something done TO tony (tony is the object ). if someone walks a d...
Hi, I tried to solve st 2 as shown below: P(white) - P(even) = 0.2 P(even)=12/25 ('coz there are 12 even nos in the box) so, P(white)= 0.2 + 12/25 = 17/25 P(white) + P (even) = 12/25 + 17/25 = 1.16 which is incorrect and hence B is out. Is the above understanding correct? you can't just add the pro...
Isn't square root of statement 2 => W > 1 ? sqrt(W^2) = W? or +W and -W? When these sorts of issues arise, the best way to build intuition is to investigate . I.e., plug in specific numbers, and watch what they do . In the case of "w^2 > 1", it should only take you a few plug-ins...
can someone please explain...how did they quickly rule out that statements 1 and statements 2 were insufficient? when i encounter such a question, i tend to plug numbers which takes up quite a bit of time. is there a way to think about such inequality questions? thanks. when you see "< 0&qu...
Hi, Ron: can you tell me how to eliminate choice D? it is only because of " that is not controlled " is much more wordy than " uncontrolled " in choice E? Thank you Hi As per my understanding ( Ron would correct me if I am wrong), the original sentence suggests that: the number....
Hi Ron, Just a quick question here regarding the "THE" before "discussion" in D and E. Is the usage of "THE" correct here? My first judgement was A,B,C were incorrect because "Discussion" - as a singular noun - can't be used alone here, either "The / A d...
From the GMATPREP test: (I searched for this question in the folder but I could not find it. In case any of you can find an existing thread on the same, I would request you to share or else lets discuss this question here.) If x and y are integers , is x an even integer ? 1) x(y+5) even integer 2) 6...
also, this... and we saw in statement 1 when y is odd integer then x is odd integer. when you reached this conclusion ^^ you should have realized there was a mistake. if y is odd, then (y + 5) is already even. thus it doesn't matter whether x is even or odd, since x(y + 5) is going to be even no ma...
