V16 If you are running out of time at the end of the test, you need to track your progress during the test. A very simple (and very effective ) way of doing this is to write milestones on your scratch paper at the very beginning of the test. 65/8 50/15 35/23 .... (when there are 65 mins left on the ...

consider taking any one of the many courses available such as Kaplan , Veritas, Manhattan etc. studying from 7 books is probably not the key. The key is to actually understand the material. Do you know all the rules for SC. Do you know the tricks for CR. Do you actually understand the passage before...

from the question we get

(a+b) (a-b) =0
either (a+b)=0
or (a-b) =0

from statement 1
ab=0
either a=0 , or b=0
insufficient

from statment 2
b =-b
b+b=0
2b =0
b =0

Now if b=0, then a has to be 0
sufficient

IMO B

The answer should be C.

As Likely as is correct.

In case of more likely than, it is not clear that 4 times of what!

Consider this,

John is twice as old as Bob.

It couldn't have been 'twice more old than'.

I hope this is of help.

Permutation.

nC2 = 190
n!
------- = 190
n-2! 2!

n (n-1)
-------- = 190
2

n^2 - n = 380

n^2 - n - 380 = 0

n = 20, 18.

I think it should be C.

First is the intermediate conclusion, second is what undermines it.

Can you post the OA answer please?

the idiom "as much as" needs to be used ... choice A is the best of all the worst choices.

Can you please post the answer.
Also what does IMO stand for ... "In my opinion" ??
