Re: So far it is even stevens!

So far it is even stevens! I think I will vote for stimulus first. I think the problem with reading question first is that it makes you biased, and this may undermine your ability to understand the stimulus properly. Dont you think that the question may actually become a distraction to your underst...

Comparing equations is more accurate way of solving, but it is complicated.

I think simpler way is to try with numbers,

I think OG10 is like superset of OG11 and so it has more questions for practice. However OG11 has much better explanation. I do have little bit of Math background (gain...

Intially I didn't accept...later I understood

I chose C as the answer when I was thrown this question in Kaplan CAT1 and I could not accept that C was wrong. On second (and deeper) look, I see that X^2 is an integer which doesn't mean that X is an integer, so I can not assume X to be an integer between 1 & 4 (i.e., 2 or 3). The explanation ...
