I'm really sorry but I'm confused with the above explanation.

I don't see any indication that the monasteries created centuries ago are not existing anymore.


Even option E doesn't proves that point

Therefore is redundant here.That leaves D and E.

E is better construction than D.

word possible should modify "earlier overpayments" which is done correctly in E.

But in C "possible extent of earlier overpayments" is a awkward construction.

last approach is not wrong but incomplete.You are ignoring the case (odd*even=even).


S here we have 8 such total cases(even*even,even*odd)

so answer is 8/(4C1*3C1)=2/3

Let W,C,M represent women,children,men. W/C=5/2 =>W=5C/2 1> C/M=5/11 =>M = 11C /5 Clearly not sufficient due to lack of values for W or C at this stage. 2> W <30 = 5C /2 <30 = C < 12 Not sufficient too . Combine both. M = 11C /5 where C < 12 So C can be 5 or 10 So combination doesn't helps either. S...

I also believe 1st question is wrong.Consider the following in the given rectangle.

1>x-y=z
Squaring on both sides


=>x2 + y2 -2xy =z2
from pythagoras theorem(x2 + y2=z2)

=>z2 -2xy =z2
which leaves xy=0

So the given rectangle can't even exists.

1>

p-q>n

Clearly not sufficient as we don't know n


2>

q>p


Again not sufficient .


Combine both

add 1 and 2


p - q +q>n + p
p>n+p
=>n<0

So correct option is C

what if x is say 75?

I suppose answer is C. When we combine both the statements we get x=27
