Let me know, if you would like to stay in touch with regards to the GMAT...

Kaplan Work Book or MGMAT Foundation guide ?

Hello,

I just posted a topic on how I bombed my GMAT and that I am looking for a book ( even a high school ) to make my basics stronger. Which one would you suggest ? Which has a very detail review of arithmetic/ word problems ( rate-work-distance ) ?

Thanks.

Is pqr >0 ?

Is pqr>0 ? 1)pq>0 2)q/r <0 My Approach: Statment 1: p and q have same sign ( either +ve or -ve), but it does not tell us anything about r, so statment A is not sufficient. Statment 2: either q or r has -ve sign, but does not tell us anything about P, statment B is not sufficient. Hence D is not suff...

Ohh wow ! This was rather easy... I ended up confusing myself. What I tried to do was, that i started substituting those answer values in the equation to find some other value !! But, all they asked was the " least possible value "

Makes perfect sense... Thanks a lot !
