The use of "Although" at start means that there is a contrast so "not" is needed. in A the phrase "until almost 1900" can mean 1) various 18th and 19th...in theier works until 1900 OR 2) it was not until 1900 that scholars began.... for me it is more between D and E. an...

"between" used for 2 things so B and D out.

"on" is a preposition and hence comparing (present participle) is incorrect, comparisons is more appropriate here.

Agree with A as answer.

1) when the numbers are all reduced by same percentage the SD is reduced by equivalent percentage.

2) any two set of numbers can have same average but different SD, hence not sufficient.

Good one!

IMO: 16 is the answer.

8sqrt2 is comes out to be the side. try putting in 8sqrt2 and solving perimeter, it does not match the given condition.

IMO: B

same issue with "amount"

Agree with A. Good Problem. I am assuming the center to be at (0,0) 1) the two possible points are (-30,y) & (-30,-y) you can see the distance between (50,0) and these is same sqrt(80^2 + y^2) 2) possible points are (x,-40) & (-x,-40) d1 = sqrt( (50-x)^2 + 40^2 ) d1 = sqrt( (50+x)^2 + 40^2) ...
