so, we have the four sides: x, x, 3x, x+60
thus, the smallest sides are of x length
statement 2 tells us that we are told that one of the sides is 2*x.. since that side can't be 3x, it has to be the "x+60" side
-->x+60=2x --> therefore it is sufficient --> choice B

At the end of the quant, I was perfect on the time management side, with 2 min remaining for the last question. I did no...

kevincanspain, I really appreciate your help in resolving queries on BTG. However, what I have noted is that you usually give a thinking answer for a problem that leaves most of us unclear about the correct answer for the problem at hand. Its good that you promote us to think and derive the answer ...

(1) x > y x=2, y = 1 --> 2>1? -> yes x=2, y=0 --> 0>0? --> no conflicting answers --> A,D are eliminated! (2) y > 0 x=4, y = 0.25 --> 1>0.0625 --> yes x=0, y= 1 -> 0> 1 --> no conflicting answers --> B is eliminated! combining both -> always true --> C is the answer

Hello Marry, thank you for sharing your time with us. My first, and most important, question: could you throw some light on the reputation of the MBA program offered by LSBF. Many seem to view LSBF as one of those "shady" schools, which are more interested in sucking in money than anything...

Taking advantage of not having to spend the money to send our scores to 5 schools is great. I am not sure how it will be looked upon the schools or ourselves to receive GMAT scores before we have filled out and turned in their application. no no no.
