D.

Not sure whether "each in the bottom" is correct or "on each in the bottom".

In that is used on both C and D but then u need to look at some other issues as well. Here " representing the digits 0 through 4, each in the bottom" is correct ---> if we see D "representing the digits 0 through 4, [color=#ff0000]on each in the bottom" what does ON EACH represent... its nothing so just KILL D!! i hope this clears your doubt.. cheers!

with two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads, representing the digits 0 through 4, on each in the bottom. On each is required in the second arm too to match the same in the first arm. Hence D is parallel, while C is not

Re: The Chinese suan pan is different than the European abacus [#permalink]

nice questions getgyan  my take: The Chinese suan pan is different than the European abacus in that the board is split into two decks, with two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads on each in the bottom, representing the digits 0 through 4. A. The Chinese suan pan is different than the European abacus in that the board is split into two decks, with two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads on each in the bottom, representing the digits 0 through 4. different than is used to differentiate quantities but question is trying to differentiate quality and hence should use either different from or differs from B. The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus because the board is split into two decks, having two beads for each rod in the upper deck and five beads, representing the digits 0 and 4, on each in the bottom. C. The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus in that the board is split into two decks, with two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads, representing the digits 0 through 4, each in the bottom. try reading the sentence without "representing the digits 0 through 4"..the sentence does not makes senseD. The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus in that the board is split into two decks, with two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads, representing the digits 0 through 4, on each in the bottom. E. The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus due to the fact that the board has been split into two decks, with two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads, which are representative of the digits 0 through 4, on each in the bottom.

aditi1903 - can you please explain why the usage of because is wrong here ?? Quote: B. The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus because the board is split into two decks, having two beads for each rod in the upper deck and five beads, representing the digits 0 and 4, on each in the bottom.

Hi Anshunadir Please answer a question. You just have to select the correct choice 1) West differs from the East (because/in that) the standard of living is very contrasting 2) West differs from the East (because/in that) West had Industrial revolution before East Look carefully, one states reason and the other states cause. Similarly "the board is split into two decks" is a reason why Chinese suan pan is different and not the cause. If the setence had been like "The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus because the pan was made by the orthodox people of China" Makes sense? If not then please follow the link difference-between-in-that-and-because-77231.html
