Re: Clarification on DS [#permalink]
I think the above comments have covered most of it.

As stated above DS questions are two types -

1. Value based
2. Yes/no

While solving a DS question evaluate each statement individually.

One short cut for looking at the options are -

1 - option 1 is sufficient
2 - option 2 is sufficient
T - together option 1 & 2 is sufficient
E - option 1 and option 2 each are sufficient
N - neither 1 or 2 is sufficient.

Clarification on DS [#permalink]
DealMonkey wrote:
Can someone clarify what you are looking for on DS questions that are something like "Is X Even/Prime/Negative.."

If both statements are enough to conclude that X is NOT one of those, do you pick E, or do you pick one of the other choices (for example if A was sufficient enough to determine that X is NOT)
In the OG it seems like all questions of this sort picks E when X is NOT what the question asks.


If you think both options TOGETHER are ENOUGH to conclude that X is NOT then choose C.

If you think both options TOGETHER are NOT ENOUGH to conclude that X is NOT then choose E.

Hope it helps..
