Thanks for the explanation Mitch. Usually, the approach for DS is that we evaluate each statement independently. Please can you explain solving this question just by evaluating the q stem with statement 2? Thanks a lot! In a group of 1000 people, each person is either left-handed or right-handed but...

Awesome! Thanks for that. Thanks! That's a great tip. However, isn't this specific to two sets of absolute values. What if |x-4| = 8 was the case. |x-4| = 8 means the distance between x and 4 is 8 units. In other words, x is either 8 units to the left of 4 or 8 units to the right of 4: -4 <-------4-...

Even if it only caters to health conscious customers, C directly provides evidence that we can sell the product at a high price which indicates that the high costs are justified and profitability will be possible.

Hence the plan of offering discounts works because no other does. Is this line of reasoning correct? Also please explain choice A: It s...

Thanks for the explanation. Here for C: we can argue it only caters to health conscious customers? Would that be reasonable to reject option C? On the other hand, consider if the Chicago plant grew spinach at a higher rate then would D become correct? (Since both have the same market, yet the Chicag...

Can you please explain what is the "language shift" you have mentioned in this post? (This argument exhibits a language shift .) Thanks! The price the government pays for standard weapons purchased from military contractors is determined by a pricing method called "historical costingï...
