Looking for DS Qs testing Abs values

Does anyone have a cache of DS questions (difficult level: hard - insane) that use Absolute values. I really struggle with such questions and would like to get as much practice before my test on the 29th.

Thank you!

2^(3^2) is not the same as (2^3)^2.

2^(3^2) = 2^9

(2^3)^2 = 2^6

Total Cost >> C
Labour >> L
Material >> M
Profit >> P

C = L+M

L+M+P = 500

St 1
C = 3M
L+M = 3M; L = 2M

3M+P = 500

Not Suff

St2
P>L

Not Suff

Both St
P>L; so P>2M
So, 3M + 2M < 500

5M < 500

M < 100

C = 3M or C <300> 200, so C

x^2 is less than 1/x in all 3 options, so x < 1.

if x = 0.1

x^2 = 0.01, 2x = 0.2, 1/x = 10 (I)

If x = 0.9
x^2 = 0.81, 1/x = 10/9 (~1) 2x = 1.8 (II)

Option D (I & II only)
