"Rather than" Vs "Instead of" please help

[manaschhabra]

Hi,

I often get confused over the usage of "rather than" and "Instead of". Is it that "Instead of" can only be followed by nouns ?

thanks ..

I believe 90% of all the SC doubts that we might have have already been explained here at MGMAT.

Lets not over burden the MGMAT experts with repetitive questions.

Request you to check MGMAT forums for already explained doubts, before you post your questions.

Google " site:manhattangmat.com < your doubt > "
