Hi Rahul, The rare questions on reflections usually involve only the x - axis, y - axis, x = y line and x = -y line. I doubt if reflections on any other line will be asked. Reflection of (a,b) on x-axis will be (a,-b) Reflection of (a,b) on y-axis will be (-a,b) Reflection of (a,b) on x=y will be (b...

Hi zaarathelab,
I am afraid there is no drastically different way than the one that you have mentioned ...
Perhaps just a small variation would be to calculate (1.08)^2 = 1 + .0064 + .16 = 1.1664 and go from there ...
Thanks.

1. If a, b, c are integers such that b > a, is b + c > a? (1) c > a (2) abc > c Experts, what is the shortest possible to solve the above? I took 4 minutes on the first one, especially because of the 2nd statement. The question boils down to finding out whether c > 0 or c <= 0. In my opinion, the b...

Hi,
I may not be the best person to pick from this basket as I have not gone through all of them.
However, I have gone through MGMAT CR and found it to be very useful in terms of techniques.
Thanks.

Hi,
The median is (b+c)/2.
Let us consider each of the options.
A. The median could be (a+c)/2 if a = b.
B. It is (b+c)/2
C. It could be (a+d)/2 if a=b and c=d
d. It could be (b+d)/2 if c=d
E. It cannot be (c+d)/2 as b can never be equal to d.
Is it E?
Thanks. Hope it helps.

Hi, I guess you have to move CR to 'Top Priority' over this week in order to stand a chance at a very good GMAT score. Some observations: 1. Try doing ONLY CR over the next two or three days. I suppose you must be pretty good at the other sections of GMAT. The human mind does a good job of coaxing y...
