Good One Mate... Agreed one should be able to decipher that any multiple of 100 is always divisible by 4 .... and the fact that 100 is not divisible by 8 simply because 100 = 2*2*5*5 , for it to be divisible by 8 the last two digits give us 2 factors of 2 but to be sure about the third factor of 2 w...

I think the answer should be A.. Even with reference to your explanation: when d = 5, e = 6 so de = 30 which is not divisible by 4........ All the question tells us is that e is even by saying 2d + e = 16 So e is always an even integer >= 0 And that simply means that abcde is even. Now there are a h...

Is B the original answer? There is good logic behind B. Look for keys in the argument. "Still Urging", which means they foresee demand. But does the demand actually exist. Doesn't everybody already have a food processor. If somebody already owns a food processor, how ill they justify the u...

Stewart is absolutely correct. I misinterpreted my solution right at the end. With the algebraic solution to this, the remainder comes to (rs)/q which means the remainder could still be anything. The only way remainder is rs is when q is 1 and that is not a precondition with the question. Do the al...

I think C is out of scope. Look at C C)Federal regulations require that all ATMs accessible to the blind must have keypads featuring both Braille and visible numbers. "All ATMs accessible to the BLIND" , in our argument the ATM machines in question are not accessible to the blind so this o...

I think it should be D as well. The lab experiment shows that histidine makes the metals inert. This will only be enhanced by D.

I think the answer should be A. All things considered, let's see the original argument. The original argument says that the greatest number of people employed will be in the category of low paying service occupations. Yet the share for low-paying service occupations will remain the same. How could t...

I think here it is an obvious D. The government is trying to increase savings. If the money that is being deposited into these accounts is the same money that was in savings accounts in other programs, it shows that the saving have not increased. They have just been transferred from one account into...

I think the answer has to be A. The argument says that rats who were already exposed to "Aflatoxin" tend to develop liver cancer when fed "Casein", a milk protein. Now we already know that they are being fed Casein. We ned to find out if they have been exposed to Aflatoxin and A ...

Yes.. Even I think A is the only correct option since it is the only options that ensures that donation from Past donors accounted for most of the donations. A basically says that the success rate of other fund raising campaigns , as far as new donors are concerned, were the same as those for Smitht...

It has to be C.
He was arrested for peddling in 1739. And the second document says he has been peddling for 20 yrs. So even if he started peddling in 1739, the newest the document could be is 1759. So we can (only) safely say that the undated document was written before 1765.
C !

D. The author is not disputing a finding, it is a "finding". He uses the same finding to point out that it could lead to multiple conclusions and hence the conclusion reached by commentators is not a definitive one and there could be other reasons accounting for it. So it does not "Wa...

We need a reason that points out that widening the roads will not help in this process. The only answer that fits the bill is C which says: Martin is a thriving metropolis whose residents have several times the purchasing power of those of Ipswich. This could potentially mean that it was not the wid...
