What is wrong with this example:

n= 156 which is 12x13 (positive integer)

n sqared = 12x12x13x13 (n squared is divisible by 72)

Largest positive integer that must divide n is 13

Should a third attempt be reasonable?

Lisa, I did speak to the folks at the admissions office and as expected they think the GMAT score is weak. Of course they wont comment on whether it can be offset by other parts of the application (for valid reasons). They did mention that I can take the GMAT a third time and if my score did fall sh...

Where do i get with 600?

The first time I took GMAT in May this year, I could manage to get 570 (44Q 24V) even though I think I worked hard on it, I wanted to get into Booth and so I decided to take the test again. I was confident I would cross the 700 mark but when I took the test a couple of days back, I made just 600 (44...

I think you misunderstood my point, I did imply that I too think the answer should be E for the very obvious reason that statement 2 is true only for r=2 and not always. Also, there is nothing wrong with the problem as stated.

raleigh,
I came up with the same answer, but the official answer is B, even though is is true only when r=2.

Came an expert shed some light on this?

Fun with r!

Is rs = rx - 2?
1. r is an odd number
2. x = s + 2

Note: For those of you who have seen this question in the official source, try not to copy the official explanation. Is is not very convincing, hence this query.
