product of consecutive integers j, k, m, and n is 5040
The product of consecutive integers j, k, m, and n is 5040. What is the value of j?
(1) j is prime
(2) j < k < m < n
Took this question from an article published about GMAT. Don't know the OA. Need experts' help please. Thanks.

Q1. Is m^3 > m^2? 1. m > 0 2. m < 1 Is m³ > m²? For it to be true that m³ > m², m ≠0, implying that m²>0. Thus, we can safely divide each side of the question stem by m², knowing that the direction of the inequality will not change: m³/m² > m²/m² m > 1. Question stem rephrased: Is m > ...

...it says that B is not sufficient because m could equal zero too.....though the source in question here is not very reliable...so would rely on your judgement here...please confirm...thanks. If 0 < m < 1, then m³ < m² ---> Answer to the original question is no. If m = 0, then m³ = m² ---> Ans...

Can you also please confirm as the new question now is if m > 1? So is statement 2 sufficient because it says that m < 1 which means we have a clear answer which is No. Actually the answer for this question given is C...I am just wondering as per our simplified question the answer should be B....no...

My question here is whether or not we can simplify this further - m^3 > m^2? by taking everything to LHS and making RHS 0 as in - m^3 - m^2 >0 m^2 (m-1) > 0 now either m^2 > 0 or m - 1 > 0 this way the new question would be - if m > 0 or m > 1? is that ok? Yes, we can take everything to LHS and pro...

...You wrote that If m²(m - 1) > 0, then either {m² > 0 and (m - 1) > 0} or {m² < 0 and (m - 1) < 0} I am not able to understand the part I highlighted in red - how did you reach the second condition - ok may be m² < 0 because m has even power and we need to take it once positive and once negat...

Stuck at this Inequality :(
Q
Is mn > 1?
1. m > 1/n
2. m^3 > n^2
can someone please explain how to approach this question and how to think of the right values to try to reach counter examples if any. Many thanks.

she got loss on the value she invested. so your calculation should 4% of 62500 not 60000. Also you don't have money she invested so instead of going with such a tedious calculation remember this shot trick, "whenever a person sell two things at price X; one with Y% profit and other with Y% los...
