why is that :)
0.5=1/2 and sqrt(0.5)=sqrt(1/2) OR sqrt(1)/sqrt(2)=1/sqrt(2) ~1/1.41

My knowledge frontiers came to evolve the GMATPill's methods - the credited study means to boost the Verbal competence. I really like their videos, especially for RC, CR and SC. You do check their study methods at https://www.gmatpill.com

Happens at times . Got stuck in a GMAT prep Question testing something related. So just cleared it.

Thanks anyways. Sorry to bother with a silly question.:)
