At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Tejas studied hard but kept repeating the same mistakes. After 3 attempts at 645, a focused 4-week strategy helped him identify and fix what was holding him back—leading to a 695 with just 12–15 hours of study per week.

The correct answer is therefore (A).
This solution follows the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

P.S.: it is interesting to study the case in which D does not belong to the side BC!

Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. For DS problems, the VA (Variable Approach) method is the quickest and easiest way to find the answer without actually solving the problem. Remember that equal numbers of variables and independent equations ensure a solution.
The first step of the VA (Variable Approach) method is to modify the original condition and the question. We then recheck the question.
In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of two sides is always greater than the length of the other side.
Thus, from triangle \(ABD\), we must have \(AB + BD > AD = h\), and from triangle \(ABD\), we must have \(AC + CD > AD = h\). If \(h = \frac{1}{2}\), then \(AB + BC + CA = AB + BD + DC + CA > \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1.\)
Condition 1) is sufficient.
Condition 2):
If \(AC = \frac{1}{2}\), then \(AB + BC + CA = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{6} > 1\) and the answer is ‘yes’.
If \(AC = \frac{1}{4}\), then \(AB + BC + CA = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{11}{12} < 1\) and the answer is ‘no’.
Since it does not yield a unique solution, condition 2) is not sufficient.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
Answer: A

The inequality satisfied by points inside or on the circle is \(r^2+s^2≤5^2=25\).
Since we have \(2\) variables (\(r\) and \(s\)) and \(0\) equations, C is most likely to be the answer. So, we should consider conditions 1) & 2) together first.
Conditions 1) & 2):
Since \(-3<r<3\) and \(-4<s<4\), we have \(0≤r^2<3^2=9\) and \(0≤s^2<4^2=16\). Thus, \(0≤r^2+s^2<9+16=25\) and both conditions together are sufficient.

Therefore, the answer is C.
