How does CAT adapt within an RC question?

Now here's what I was wondering for a while. Nature of a CAT (computer adaptive test) is that the difficulty of each question depends on whether the previous one was answered correctly. My question is since 3-4 RC questions are based on one given passage (which is of a certain difficulty level alrea...

I'd also go with 1E and 2A DanaJ offered a great explanation for both, so I am only going to explain why I think D is wrong in question 1 since for me Q1 was between D and E. IMO D is wrong because even though as D implies the proposition IS stated - "Among the factors that constrain the compet...

Great arguments in favour of business success. Very well written. I'd give it 5-5.5 due to some grammatical errors. Also, you might want to reconsider the last sentence as it is very long and confusing
great job

Re: inequality

Adeel, here's where you've gone wrong:

adeel wrote:i.e if x =1/90
then 1 becomes 1/9 > 1/10
If x=1/90 then

9x = 9/90 = 1/10
10x = 10/90 = 1/9

(1) Says 1/10>1/9, which is not true, hence 1/90 is not a valid solution for x

ditto tohellandback. I also didn't find any value for X that would make 3^(|x|) < 3^x Only equality holds true.
Hence D

Thanks, Ian! This helps.
with my 3 ways i only meant to indicate that there are a number of ways to do that. I did not mean to imply that there are ONLY 3 ways to keep mean/median the same. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: x-3

tohellandback wrote:sqrt(x^2)=|x|
is that so... I thought that only when X^2=Y, then x=|sqrt(Y)|
But whenever you're taking a square root of a number it can only be positive, i.e. SQRT(X) can only be a positive number.
What's GMAT's stance?

Even I feel it should be C but it's surprising that the Answer given is A! Can any of the instructors help us out? The answer cannot be A simply because here are 2 conflicting solutions that would satisfy (1) Either you missed something in conditions / problem formulation or the OA is wrong. 1) S=1...

Should be E. Here are 3 ways to remove numbers and keep both (1) and (2) unchanged. 1) remove 1 and 19 2) remove 9 and 11 3) remove 7 and 13 The last 2 mess up the dispersion around the mean, which is what st. def. measures The 1st one doesn't mess up the dispersion (i think, please confirm), hence ...

IMO A Cos A gives 7 and B gives 4 and its given N>4 ditto anand0408. Also, can we really use what Pussyin Boots said about -1! not existent? I mean I agree that it doesn't, but does it really mean that N cannot be -1? (assume there was no condition that N>4) Another reason it can't be D is because ...

the mistake freshy makes is that because (2/5)T = BM and T = M+F we can not assume (2/5)M + (2/5)F = BM It should be (2/5)(M+F) = (x)M + (y)F. That's where I'm not totally clear. I operate based on mathematical principles, so based on a simple principle that x*(a+b)=x*a+x*b What is wrong with assum...
