Re: ski resorts broadcast music
IMO-A.
i would choose between A & D, however, the use of 'although' in D does not make sense.

Re: like vs as
IMO - B.
I would prefer 'as' over 'like', in this sentence in that, the sentence is talking about an action that is performed by an expert.

Thanks, got it Start with the easier statement, (2)--> 0>x INSUFFICIENT Statement 1 states that the absolute value of z is greater than the absolute value of y, but it doesn't tell us about the value of x-->INSUFFICIENT. Put the two statements together: so if 0>x, pick a negative number for x and if...

As usual i got excited, thanks so much for correcting. This will be my biggest drawback, got to really work on this . @ siddarth I don't think you can use 6,7,8 or 11,12,13 because the question says p+q+r=n xyz=n 6+7+8=21 But 6*7*8=336 I guess the only set of numbers that work is 1,2,3 for both pqr ...

The Answer is D, the remainder will be 1 in both cases. Try using numbers like 6+7+8 or 6*7*8, 11+12+13 or 11*12*13. Since we know that p & x are the smallest.

Absolute Value - Help Please
Is |x-z|>|x-y| 1) |z|>|y| 2) 0>x My solution was as follows: the original equation will give us 2 results: a) x-z>x-y => x-z-x+y>0 => y+z>0. b) -x+z>-x+y => -x+z+x-y>0 => z-y>0. Now Statement 1 will satisfy both these conditions, so my answer is Statement 1 is enough to answer the question. Statemen...

Re: please help GmapPrep question
The answer is B, not E. I found that N = 15,y=2 where I'm wrong? You must have multiplied incorrectly; 15^3, an odd number, cannot be equal to 450*2 = 900, which is even. I posted a solution to this problem here: www.beatthegmat.com/number-properties-q-t13973.html The answer is B Indeed, i was wron...
