Hi,
1
1^2 + 1 = 2
2^2 + 2 = 6
6^2 + 6 = 42
42^2 + 42 = 1806

So (n+1) = n^2 + n
Is it an official GMAT question?

My answer both answer are necessary
Hi, Let's simplify the problem: A= only patio B= only swimming pool C= Patio and swimming pool D= Neither Patio nor Swimming Pool So 75 = A +B+C+D 48 = A + C Hence 1: allows us to know that C= 10 so it's insufficient to solve the problem alone hence 2: alone we can only find that C=D, alone this hen...

IMO E
Both parts of the sentence should have the same structure, begining with "Those of", so that leads to answer D or E.
Then again, in the two description we should have the same verbal structure, so answer E is the best choice to me...
