In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same prin...

Himu, Well - the critical factor in this option is the cost of the coverged device. If the statement mentioned that the cost of a device (any device) is a fraction of usage costs, then it puts converged devices at the same level of that of a regular device in terms of usage costs.. But apart from al...

himu, It is an expectation. It is not conclusive evidence that waiting for a year is justified and again - if you look at the argument, it states that the cost will almost certainly rise. If the technique is cost effective to produce, it need not confirm that the buyer (the office) will gain from th...

The answer is C as that is the only conclusive option

Vikram, Just my take on this - It is interesting to see that most people on these forums think that SC is just a bunch of grammar rules and is independent of meaning. Both are necessary. The idea is communicate the intended meaning through effective, concise and effective grammar. The interesting an...

Anurag,
Isn't the question asking us to prove that k is non-prime?
Can the positive integer k be expressed as the product of two integers, each of which is greater than 1
I get the reasoning in statement 1 and 2. But the rephrase of the question seems to be wrong.

The answer is D Since r,s lies on the circle with center at origin, distance between the point and center is the radius. root ((r-0)^2+(s-0)^2) = root(r^2+s^2) Statement 1 - Radius is 2. We can determine r^2+s^2. Sufficient Statement 2 - The point (2^1/2 , -2^1/2) lies on the circle. The distance be...
