Hi Manhattan Staff,

That was a good explanation by you. Thanks, it helped me understand..

The OA must be Either of the ones is sufficient. Explanation: It can be easily explained using a figure. let a = ppl who like L only b = ppl who like both L and S c = ppl who like S only d = ppl who dont like either it is given that 2/3 (a+b+c+d) = c+d ----- equation 1 and (3/5)*(2/3)* (a+b+c+d) = d...

My take is B Reason: The advertisers of any product first show the benefits of the product and try justifying the cost of the product. In the advertisement there is no where mentioned about the uses of food processors or how they are going to benefit the customers. Whether potential customers have e...

Thank You

statement 1 is not sufficient because the problem statement just says they have predicted as t years, but it doesnot mention that t is accurate.. i.e. t might be more or less to the actual period. hope this helps

Hi Manhattan staff, Can you please help me out with the below DS problem?? I thought the answer is E. [Deleted because this question is from a banned source. Please see below.] OA is "Using A alone" i.e. "A" This is an OG Quant problem . The solution says 1) This reveals that the...

As explained in the reason I mentioned, the first and foremost thing the advertiser has to do is to portray the benefits and justify his sale. If you look into the question, it says "logically prior issue the manufacturer;s advertisements fail to address" . "A""D" and &...

The first point you made is true.. Not sure abt that. Second one, shortest way is put 8 in (1+r/100)^2 which will come to 1.16 appr.. now the 2 nd option says it is greater than 1.15.. by this it is possible that r is 8, and hence it is "=8" and it is also possible to be r>8 say 9 or an...

Hi, I am from Bangalore, India. I would like to purchase couple of books from the 8-set guides. When I tried calling up the numbers (mentioned in the site), one was out of order and the other one was not responding. 1) can you direct me to the right place where I can get these guides? Please... 2) W...

Hi Manhattan, Thanks for your response. Apologies if my statement mislead you. What I meant was, I tried calling the numbers in Bangalore which were mentioned in your international stores page and there I could not find any response. Coming to the purchase, Yea, I can see that the sites you mentione...

Nope.. You need not..Check this out. Given : 4X=5Y and Jacket Cost = 4X = 5Y Therefore, if we get to know either of X OR Y.. we are done with the answer. Statement -1 : Y=0.8X ==> Y=8/10*X ==> Y=4/5X ==> 4X=5Y Therefore, it is simplified to the given thing and nothing new it says. So, not S...

If c and d are integers, is c even? (1) c(d + 1) is even (2) (c + 2)(d + 4) is even A product is even only in the below two cases: Even * Even = Even Even * odd = Even Statement -1 : Worst case is Even * Odd Either C is even and (d+1) is odd or C is odd and (d+1) even Not Sufficient to answer Either...

good one.. Hi Ron,

The figures I have taken are not going along with the OA. Please can you clarify

x=1, y=1/2 , both positive, x-y=1/2 (cond1) and x>y (Cond2)
x=-1/4, y=-3/4 , both negative, x-y=1/2 (cond1) and x>y (Cond2)

How can we say for sure that both are sufficient.

Thanks

Thanks Tim for responding. The question is the same as mentioned in the previous posts in this thread. Are x and y both positive? (1) 2x − 2y =1 (2) x/y > 1 This is a GMAT Prep question and the OA shows as Both statements together can solve the question. Also, I can see that the OA is acknowled...
