Re: The media claim that the economy is entering a phase of

Thanks Experts for your perennial help ! I opine a bit differently on this question. I think that the question is not coined appropriately. In the past, MGMAT experts have admitted that constructing a challenging CR problem is very difficult. And I whole-heartily agree with them. The problem in ques...

Re: Two years ago, the cost of the raw material

Hi MGMAT Folk, Thanks for the high quality questions. As for this question, I am not entirely convinced withe correct answer; However, I still chose A since other choices were infested with bigger loop holes than choice A is. In my opinion, the question can reconcile differential opinions if the fol...

Re: CR Qn Bank - juvenile diabetes

Thanks Tim (and other MGMAT folks). Wouldn't the verb "promote" encapsulate implementation of subsidy programs that can make available healthy food and exercising programs at an affordable cost? If the conclusion were " If the government wishes to stem the spread of the disease, it sh...

Re: CR Qn Bank - juvenile diabetes

Thanks Jamie ! Appreciate your response. I chose B over E, which(B) now I think is the inferior one. However, E isn't that far from B. I used to think that there will be a long gap between the correct answer and the next best answer on the real thing. I agree that promotion can mean something as bas...

Re: CAT 3:The Incredible line (altenate Soln.)

Hi, Can I use formula to compute shortest distance between a point and a line? line : ax +by (c=0 since line passes thru the origin) and point=(x,y) |ax + by|/(sqrt(a^2+b^2)) I can equate the the 2 equations and get the relationship between a a and b. m(slope)=a/b. Sure I am assuming that the line p...

Re: A major impediment to wide acceptance of electric vehicles

Hi, I do not contest the validity of the OA since this is the best of the rest(and I selected it too). However, I am not sure how it really weakens the argument. The crux of the conclusion is "make purchasing electric vehicles more attractive to commuters". Now producers are bounded by the...

Re: Many teenagers undergo stress, but results of a recent study

Thanks Guys ! I do not contest the OA. Its unambiguous. However, I have a questions regarding Ron's affirmation above regarding the helping verb do. Why cant do refer to verb "result". Is it because we are talking about comparisons and the verbs(main/helpings) have to be in the same catego...

Re: study published in The New England Journal of Medicine - SC

Hi Experts,

Whether the following be ok or it would indicate 2 different drugs?

According to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, aspirin prevents blood clots just as well as does the most commonly used and the most expensive blood-thinning drug.

Thanks,
Garry

Re: In the major cities of industrialized countries at the end

Hi Experts,

A naive question irrelevant to the answer. If we are talking about houses, shouldn't we use "fewer than" one percent? Again, I am not contesting OA, but just trying to understand the concept.

Thanks for your time.
Garry
