In this prob there is no need to think about the dimensions of the cube or the rect. solid. Just assume the area of one face of the cube to be A. There are 6 such faces in the cube: surface area = 6A. There are 10 such areas in the rect. solid (join two of the cubes and minus two joining surfaces to...

City Government should invest surplus funds
The city government should invest surplus funds in improving the city's transportation network. Most of the network was put in place at a time when the city was much smaller in both area and population. The subway system is outdated and understaffed. The buses rarely run on schedule and their routes...

Great Kudos to Spencer, you made it crystal clear to me. I understand the essence of the sentence as well as my mistake, this time. Discipline of daughters is not taking happening according to the Psychologists wish. The word Would according to me acts as a subjunctive { Wish } mood. Abhishek, I thi...

Hi Binit, I have seen your posts earlier for such questions and they have all used this venn diagram approach. Can you please shed some light or share references to explore this approach? Aaaaaaaah, what to say? :) Somehow this suits me and the peculiar thing is that I really don't remember a time ...

Thanks a ton Brandon. Your post was an eye opener for me. I was definitely not hitting the bulls-eye of the problem. I tried it by drawing Venn-diagram (May not be a proper one, pls excuse) and the whole thing became clear to me. You were right, I was taking choice B too far. Pls have a look: http:/...

Hi Spencer and Abhishek009, Thanks guys for ur inputs, Maybe I cudn't make myself clear. What exactly I wanted to know is little different: I precisely have problems in comparing answer choices D and E . ELLIPSIS and SUBJUNCTIVE parts are clear but why would discipline is preferred to discipline in ...

A. Town P has a larger population than Town Q. Here, P has more cars but fewer citizens -- P could have 100 cars but only 2 citizens -- implying that most of the cars in P are rarely on the road. Thus, the conclusion that citizens in P spend more time driving is weakened. Eliminate A. Hi Mitch, tow...

That's an interesting question Binit. While I suppose you are right, and in this particular case it seems clear that A resolves the paradox so effectively that you could pretty much assume that the other answers just can't be as good, in practice I never do what you suggested. Often I think I have ...

Hi Marty, I think this is a resolve the paradox question. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Choice A is very clear and direct in resolving the paradox present. So, can we risk avoid reading other answer choices in order to save time? There can't be a better paradox solver, right? Thanks in advance. ~Bin...

Hi Binit, I think you left some words off of the answers or the sentence? Shouldn't it be "their daughters"? Nope. 'their' isn't there before 'daughter', and that's logical coz there is no 'their' before 'male child'. In any case, if you're making a hypothetical statement, then you would ...

Hi Mitch, I have 2 issues with E: 1. suggest reducing software prices - wouldn't 'reduction' be always better than 'reducing'? I suggest the reduction of s/w price to.. vs I suggest reducing s/w price to.. I find the former much better. Pls explain this. 2. While some propose.., others suggest.., an...
