The correct answer is D. This is a standard type of flawed argument. Please learn it and apply it. Here is how it goes. "My opponent is _____, therefore his argument if flawed." You can see that this is not a logical argument. You must separate the person from what they say. It may seem r...

St 1: when n is divided by 21 ( 7 and 3) the remainder is an odd number. But it cannot be 7, 3 or 9 . Hence the possibilities are : 1 and 5. Hence there can be two remainders ,1 and 5, when divided by 7. NOT SUFFICIENT Someone please explain this in detail ... I am not clear on this...especially on ...

OA: E First consider each statement individually. (1) 4 is the integer that is closest to x+y implies 3.5 < x < 4.5. But x can be ...

Thanks Anurag ...would you like to say something on point 4 " Universal Truth/Law/rule of prime factorization"

Last example was much more clear to me. http://www.beatthegmat.com/factors-t87175.html

Could you please post some other examples - still not so sure on usage.

What is wrong in 'c' - (C) By volume, more microwave popcorn is sold than is conventional popcorn.

My reasoning

1. This is popular,people are not minding to pay more and already cpatured more than half of the market - this clearly infers more people have that ,hence sell is higher comparatively

Negative numbers are never considered prime. The smallest prime number is 2. If a number is both even and prime, that number must be equal to 2, which makes Statement 1 sufficient. Need a clarification... point 1 said N is prime and N^6 is even , this is not said 'N' itself is even prime, so I thin...
