Re: if a+b=10, what is the value of b?

I'm little scared about this types of question.
What if a=1 in statement 1? if this is the thing then statement 2 provides a=2 (when it is calculated). Are these different values of a in highlighted part violate the rules of DS? Is this type of question (if a=1) legit for GMAT?

Re: What is the value of w? 1) w<0 2) w^2=100

Can you explain the statement 2, please? My explanation says that w= ±10. If I consider the value of w= +10 too, will the statement 2 contradict statement 1 where the value of w is only negative value?

Meanwhile, I find "evidence to suggest" itself to be flawed in E. The expression "evidence to suggest" seems to convey that the evidence exists for the purpose of suggesting something. Also, who or what is the agent of "suggest" is not clear. Is "evidence" th...

Hi Expert, I'm little bit confused about the structure of this sentence. As far I know if we use ‘unlike’ in the sentence, then it gives the opposite meaning of the specific noun. If I say: Unlike Robert, Mr. Smith is a (…………………..) . In the bracket, I’ve to put something, which ...
