Data Sufficiency

On this account I will definitely agree with Stuart. Statement I do appear to be impossible and even I do find it hard to believe.Now for the source,people may consider it as good as real GMAT question( I got it from somebody) and there is no error in writing the first statement or the question stem.Now I cannot talk any further about the source as I don't want to jeapordise my chances.

And we are always taught not to question the GMAT question writer. Why can't the question writer be wrong ? What if the GMAT question writer is wrong ? Why can't the ETS or Pearsonvue be wrong ?

The only reason it would 'jeapordise your chances' to reveal the source of the questions you post is if that source is publishing questions from the active GMAT question pool. If that's the case, stop posting those questions here and tell a moderator immediately - this forum will be shut down if you are doing this. Otherwise you should always reveal the source of a question you post; it is a rule on this forum, as I understand, and if it is not, it should be.

When I mentioned Jeapordise I only meant that the GMAT prep co. won't let their questions posted for free on the Net.They atleast won't allow me do that.This cannot possibly be an active GMAT question.

Then you're violating copyright by posting the question on this site and, again, could get the site in trouble; not mentioning the name is actually more of a copyright infringement than giving the proper author credit for its work.

Just because the question is created by a "GMAT PREP COMPANY" does not mean it's a good question. Heck, anyone can call himself a "prep company" to lend authority to his product (and many people have, actually hurting test takers who trust the material provided).

A number of questions you've posted from this shadowy company have proven to be very poor questions indeed; my advice would be to stop posting these questions entirely, since they're of little (or negative) value and questionable legality. The only reason I've been replying to these threads is to help the poor folks who are taking these questions seriously.

Well !! nobody can post actual GMAT question. We can only post practice questions. And practice questions will definitely not match actual questions. Therefore anybody can call them poor if they cannot handle those questions. And nobody is claiming the questions to be of good or great quality .They are only meant for practice and raise one's one problem solving ability.If you cannot provide any constructive suggestion stop making such wasteful comments cause most of them sucks big time and poor folks take those worthless comments seriously. And I cannot possibly manufacture those questions; I don't have that level of expertise.

And to everyone if you don't like the questions , don't visit them.Find the questions you like . I just wanted to find the solution for the problem which I am happy to say some very good friends have helped me to solve ,and I can count on them ! There are more than 70000 questions I don't know how many are real GMAT type questions( barely 1000 I guess) .And to students ,if you want to make any comments,don't jump to any conclusion.Please view all my previous posts and the comments I have received on them. I just returned what I got !

Plain and simple...
