MGMAT Questions poorly written...

by masmith307 Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:26 pm

I ran into this question on a MGMAT CAT test, recently. It's easy enough, but is highly misleading with its current syntax. Unfortunately, this is just one example of poorly written questions in the MGMAT CAT exam Quant section...

Bob and Wendy planned to walk from their home to a restaurant for dinner together. However, Bob was delayed at work, and Wendy left for the restaurant before Bob did. If the restaurant is 3 miles from their home and Bob left for the restaurant a half-hour after Wendy did, how long did Wendy have to wait for Bob at the restaurant?

(1) Wendy walked at a constant pace of 4 miles per hour

(2) Bob walked at a constant pace of 1 mile per hour faster than Wendy.
