Re: Has any of your pies
IMO it is E The first option (A) is correct but the meaning is different. "Has any of your pies been eaten?" means that the question asks about any one pie that could have been eaten. It implies that we expect that one should have been eaten, but we don't know which one. "Have any of ...

Re: Official Verbal Guide SC Q No. 54
It seems to me that the trick in the word "life" because usually "both" is a plural pronoun and sounds like "both natural and human resources".

Re: Official Verbal Guide SC Q No. 54
For the construction "neither... nor" we should use a singular verb. Like "Neither John nor Bob was able to go there".
My bad...
The form of the verb following the idiom "neither... nor" depends on the form of the noun that is right after the particle "nor".

Re: GMATPrep - recent polls ...
It could not be A.
The right answer should be C or E. Not sure which one.
Parallelism demands either "they denounce.... support" or "they are denouncing .... are supporting".
I incline to believe it is C. In E, present continuous is not required.

Re: two very tough sc from gmat prep
In the first one, I go with A. The clause "that was once thought to be" presented in C sounds awkward to me, while "as once thought to be" in A sounds fine. Also, in C, the word order "achieving in farm animals a consistency of quality and production" is weird. IMO, it ...

Re: smallest possible value
n*(2^5)*(6^2)*(7^3) might be written in the following manner: n*(2^7)*(3^2)*(7^3). The part of this number (2^7)*(3^2)*(7^3) does not have any "5" and one additional "3" that are necessary to satisfy the statement. It means that "n" has two "5" and one "3...

Re: GMAT Prep -Sq Rt & Modulus
Not sure in my solution, but here it is |x|, x positive if x greater or equal to 0, x negative if x less than 0. From the statement, we know that x less than 0, then x should be negative. Inserting it in the equation, we will get root((-x)(-x)) = root((x)^2), which is |x|. But we know that x less th...

Re: GMAT Prep - Modulus & Square Roots
Is the ans. E?
root (5) is greater than root (2), so substract and you result in negative number which is not the real number.

Re: HardCover_Books
Any Suggestion? You can solve in this way x is the number of paperback books y is the number of hardcover books we have: the price of a paperback book is $8, the price of a hardcover book - $25, x>10 from the (1) we'll get: 25y greater or equal to 150 from the (2): 8x+25y<260 Solving (1), you'll ge...

Re: Notepads and markers - GMATPrep
is it E?
5x+3y<=10 (<= less than or equal to 10)
Is 4x+4y<=10?
1) x<1
2) 11x<=10 ------> x<=0,909...
The price of each notepad ranges from $0.01 to $0.91 (or $0.99 in the first statement). If $0.01, then $10 is enough to buy 4 markers. If $0.99, it's not enough.
