Can you share your local source of these questions ?


Company X Company Y

x+50 employees x employees

0.9y salary y salary

we have to determine whether

(x+50)* .9y > x*y

or .9xy + 45 y > xy
or 45 y > .1 xy
or 450 > x (y not = 0)

or company Y has less than 450 employees


(A) INSUFF because it talks about y (salary) and not x (employees)
(B) INSUFF because it talks about y (salary) and not x (employees)

Together it doesn't give any clue about number of employees INSUFF

(E)
GMATPowerPrep Test1= 740
GMATPowerPrep Test2= 760
Kaplan Diagnostic Test= 700
Kaplan Test1=600
Kalplan Test2=670
Kalplan Test3=570
