Transcripts - Help
Hello, All this while, I was under the impression that academic transcripts mean my degree certificate and a consolidated mark sheet. With barely a month to go for R1 deadlines of many of the colleges, I think I have made a mistake. Can somebody clarify - what is the format of an official transcript...

Well, let's just remove the decimal for now. What is asked is root of 4225. We know that this value falls between 3600 (60^2) and 4900(70^2). Assuming that GMAT provides us with good numbers, the one and only number whose square can result in 5 in the units place is 65. So the root of 42.25 has to b...

Alex,
The only thing that you need to know is in the first two lines of my reply i.e median has to
be an integer or an integer when multiplied by 2. You do not have to try different values to
solve the problem.

I don't have a diagram to explain, but the explanation for the answer goes like below. You can also refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_diagonal for the picture. In this picture AC- (ac dash) is the diagonal of the cube. AC is the diagonal of the face and CC- is the edge. Angle between all e...

I think, I wrote it too fast. My bad. There is one more possibility. You can select one man from room A and then select a woman from room B. In that case P will be (3/13) * (3/9) = 9/117 Since, either of these two can happen, the resultant probability will then be the sum of the two => 40/117 + 9/11...

The resultant probability has to be the product of probabilities of selecting one woman from room A and afterwards selecting a woman from room B. Probability of selecting one woman from room A = 10/13 Resultant probability = (10/13) * (4/9) = 40/117 HTH There are 10 women and 3 men in room A. One pe...

Yes, Isosceles triangle is one where two sides/two angles are equal. 45-45-90 is one example of an isosceles triangle. 30-30-120 is another. Any triangle where one angle is 90 degrees is also called a right triangle. Equilateral triangle is one where all angles/sides are equal. So, that means a 60-6...

The question asks for profit per unit. Profit per unit = P = ((5304 * 7)/q) We know that 'q' is an integer q = ((5304 * 7)/P) => (5304 * 7) has to be divisible by P. $11 doesn't satisfy this condition and hence it has to be the answer HTH In the first week of last month, Company X realized an averag...

Given a room to paint together, Tom, Peter and John will finish the work in the ratio 1:2:3 (, because the time taken is in the ratio 6:3:2 => work done is in the ratio 1/6:1/3:1/2). We know that Peter has already done 1/3 of the room while Tom has finished 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3 when John joins. So, toget...

Median of the set has to be either an integer or an integer when multiplied by 2. Since 0 < y < 7, E doesn't satisfy either condition. Hence, E has to be the answer. Just to quote examples For option A -1, 0, 4 satisfies For option B 1, 2, 3 satisfies For option C -2, -1, 6 satisfies For option D 1,...
