A university offers its students on-campus housing in university-owned apartments. The majority of the apartments are unfurnished, but the university does offer a small number of fully furnished apartments for an extra charge. The table lists the number of each type of apartment that the university offers as well as the monthly rent that the university charged for those apartments in each of two years.

Hi Arpitamitra , Here is a detailed solution for this Table Analysis question. Understanding the Given Conditions: The table provides data on: The number of each type of apartment (Studio, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom). Whether the apartment type is furnished or unfurnished. The monthly rent charged by the university for each apartment type in two separate years (Year 1 and Year 2) Question Stem Analysis: The task involves determining whether the furnished units of each type were priced at 10% or higher than their unfurnished counterparts in BOTH YEARS - Year 1 and Year 2. Inferences : The percentage increase in the monthly rent of furnished units from their unfurnished counterparts is greater than or equal to 10%. That is, if https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82061 ≥ 10 for a year, then the answer will be YES for THAT YEAR. Otherwise, No. 2. If we get a ‘No’ for Year 1, then there is no need to check for Year 2, as the final selection for that apartment type will be NO only. Processing the Conditions: Let us analyze each apartment type one by one. Studio: For Year 1: Percent Increase = https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82062 = https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82063 10 Since the increase is more than 10%, the answer for this year is Yes . That means, we must check for year 2 as well. For Year 2: Percent Increase = https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82066 = https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82067 > 10 Since the increase is more than 10%, the answer for this year as well is Yes . As both years show an increase exceeding 10%, so the selection for 1-bedroom apartments is YES . 2 Bedroom: For Year 1: Percent Increase = https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82068 = https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=82069 < 10. Since the increase is less than 10%, the answer for this type is No. Again using the inference (2), without even checking for year 2 we can mark NO for 2-bedroom apartments. Conclusion: Based on a thorough analysis of the rent increases for furnished versus unfurnished apartments, we determine the following: Studio: No 1 Bedroom: Yes 2 Bedroom: No TAKEAWAY: Observe how making INFERENCES helped us here to save time by reducing the number of calculations. Hope this helps!

This question is very easy; it says to select yes if the furnished facility is being charged more than 10% higher than the unfurnished facility.

The first option is No because 705/730*100 is less than 10% in First year. (If first year is No, then there is no need to calculate the 2nd year)

The second option is Yes because 766/867*100 is greater than 10% and 771/893*100 is also greater than 10%.

The third statement is similar to first statement and the answer is No.

Hi Arpitamitra,

Here is a detailed solution for this Table Analysis question.

Understanding the Given Conditions:
The table provides data on:

The number of each type of apartment (Studio, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom).
Whether the apartment type is furnished or unfurnished.
The monthly rent charged by the university for each apartment type in two separate years (Year 1 and Year 2)

Question Stem Analysis:
The task involves determining whether the furnished units of each type were priced at 10% or higher than their unfurnished counterparts in BOTH YEARS - Year 1 and Year 2.

Inferences:

The percentage increase in the monthly rent of furnished units from their unfurnished counterparts is greater than or equal to 10%.
1. That is, if ≥ 10 for a year, then the answer will be YES for THAT YEAR.
2. Otherwise, No.

2. If we get a ‘No’ for Year 1, then there is no need to check for Year 2, as the final selection for that apartment type will be NO only.

Processing the Conditions:
Let us analyze each apartment type one by one.
Studio:
For Year 1:

Percent Increase == < 10.
1. Since the increase is less than 10%, the answer for this type is No.

Using our inference (2), without even checking for year 2 we can mark NO for Studio apartments.

1 Bedroom:
For Year 1:

Percent Increase == > 10
- Since the increase is more than 10%, the answer for this year is Yes.
- That means, we must check for year 2 as well.

For Year 2:

Percent Increase ==> 10
- Since the increase is more than 10%, the answer for this year as well is Yes.

As both years show an increase exceeding 10%, so the selection for 1-bedroom apartments is YES.

2 Bedroom:
For Year 1:

Percent Increase == < 10.
- Since the increase is less than 10%, the answer for this type is No.

Again using the inference (2), without even checking for year 2 we can mark NO for 2-bedroom apartments.

Conclusion:
Based on a thorough analysis of the rent increases for furnished versus unfurnished apartments, we determine the following:

Studio: No
1 Bedroom: Yes
2 Bedroom: No

TAKEAWAY:
Observe how making INFERENCES helped us here to save time by reducing the number of calculations.

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Aditi

Since the question asks that we should mark Yes only if "university charged greater than 10 percent more" in BOTH YEARS i.e. even if one year is <10% then my answer becomes a NO.
So, if one year comes as NO then I don't care about another year (it could be a YES or a NO) and I can simply mark my answer as NO for that option.

Here the total units are different fr furnished and non furnished, how can we assume it to be per unit charge, when it isnt mentioned anywhere in the question stem. Could you please clarify?

Don’t overcomplicate it. It’s just the price per apartment. “Monthly rent” can only mean what one unit costs.
