No we're not sure from the stem that whether s is -ve or +ve. Imagine as scenario in which s is -ve and hence -s is +ve and it is also possible that 0 is to the right of t. Therefore -s will be further to the right of t & 0. In this scenario distance between r & t and t & -s can also be ...

Can we do it this way:- 1) The two-digit number "ab" (where a is in the tens place and b is in the ones place) is a multiple of 3. This is clear for explanations provided earlier. (2) a – 2b is a multiple of 3. (a-2b)/3 = k (k is any integer) (a-2b+3b-3b)/3 = k( adding & subtractoing 3...

A & D - use of "which" is wrong.
B & C - "hopefully" is almost always wrong on GMAT.
E - though it is having more phrases, but still is the best choice.

Agree with C. (Though my first guess was also B :evil: ) 1. Clearly INSUFF as explained by Prasanna. 2. This stmt guarantees that C is even in all the cases except when C = 0; this statement is true but it doesn't tells about C (because 0 is neither even nor odd)- so INSUFF. But if we combine both, ...

I think it should be D. 1) Rightly said above, If it ends in a prime number possible endings are 11,13,17,19 so in all the above cases the starting number has to be 2,4,8 & 10 respectively. so the probability is 0/4 = 0. 2) if x<=10, then the number has to be 1 otherwise we cannot form series of...

OA is E. Our minds are too programmed to think of this in terms of repeating patterns... Here's the explanation -- It is tempting to view the information in the question as establishing a pattern as follows: Green, Yellow, Red, Green, Yellow, Red, . . . However, consider that the following non-patt...
