the problem is not solved.

in Q 27, og 12, gmat said that "estimated at" is wrong and "estimated to be" is right.

in Q 140, og 12, gmat said that " estimated to be" is wrong and " estimated at" is wrong.

in both questions, the use of "estimated" is similar.

pls, explain, thank you

For starters please use spoiler when typing the OA, also save your questions till the end. This way people can have a chance at answer the questions for themselves before they know the answer. That is the point of this site, so everyone can learn from one another. That being said, these two problems are different. One uses the verb estimated and the other uses dated.

The verb estimated should be followed by the form 'to be' and not at, unless you mean actually location.

The idiomatic way is to say dated at.

Hope this helps
A useful website I found that has every quant OG video explanation:

I agree with you.
in og 10, gmat agree to " estimated to be"

but this mean that the question 140 in og 12 is wrong. Is that righ?
one o the 2 questions above must be wrong. It is clear, right?
