Im not a pro , just started my prep as well. But 8-12 mins per questions of CR u mean ?

yes

Well. In actual GMAT . U get around 2 min max for each questions . So decide yourself. Better to judge which questions u can do or guess the answer mark and get rid of , if its there to just waste the time.

yes

please explain this question. IT’S AN OFFICIAL QUESTION

I guess this is a very new question. Don’t see anything on the thread. That said, here are my quick 2-cents:
-Claim: The data of the last 50 years is proof that it is unlikely that the cost of treating any particular disease will reduce just because of med technological improvements
-Logic: Because… while med tech has improved tremendously, annual overall spending on disease treatment has not reduced, it has also risen sharply
-One flaw I can think of: The cost of treating any particular disease may really have come down. But because of more number of patients, the annual overall spend increased rather than decreased. There are more such.
-Question: Flaw EXCEPT. Find the one thing which, even if it possibly changes, does not make the argument vulnerable.
-Choice A: if the average age changes, say increases, more elders could mean more patients than before – as an example. Then, even if the technology is better, the overall spend on disease treatment could still increase. Average age could tangibly matter here.
-Choice B: Due to inflation, the same treatment costs more. A treatment that cost 1L Rs may now cost 3L Rs. Thus, despite the technology getting better, the overall spend on disease treatment could still increase.
-Choice C: Greater size of population could straight-up mean more patients. Thus, despite the technology getting better, the overall spend on disease treatment could still increase.
-Choice D: Irrespective of number of medical researchers, we already know that med tech has improved tremendously. What difference does it make whether this improvement came from an unchanged number of medical researchers, or whether this number presumably increased? This choice seems to be the best candidate.
-Choice E: A change in type of disease can clearly impact the overall spend on disease treatment. For instance, despite med tech improvement, a huge chunk of expenses are getting incurred now due to a greater contribution of expensive diseases in the population (say, lot more dialysis or cancer cases). Then, even if the technology is better, the overall spend on disease treatment could still increase
-Choice D looks like the best candidate.

Hope this helps!

How much time should one take to solve a question like this one?

Is the answer D?

I believe the answer is D.

Correct. Can you please tell me the time that it took you to solve this one?

I have solved this one before. Just under 2 min then from what I remember.

Yeah around 2 mins. Definitely under 2 mins 20 secs.
The evaluation of options could take some time although option D stood out clearly so it was easier to choose this as the answer.

But if you have just started practicing, I think you should focus more on why an answer is correct and why others are incorrect. Focus on timing at the start could be counter productive.

Agreed with @Nullbyte!

I also believe D is the answer

Hi all, I am new to the group, can someone tell me when and how do we get to know these quiz schedules?

Hi and welcome! We usually usually run them once a week on Sundays. Maybe we should start a poll for voting on the topic that we should run? 🤷‍♂️

Here you go: https://gmatclub.com/forum/weekly-gmat- ... 28565.html - feel free to suggest a topic here (anything specific or general).

CR 1 APR 17 D is the ans?

Four neighbouring countries produce a third of a world’s harvest of sugarcane. During the last decade, Vernia’s sugarcane output was greater than that of Browland. However, because Sylvania had a greater output of sugarcane than Borodia’s, Vernia must have produced more sugarcane than Borodia.

If taken into consideration, any of the following makes the argument above logically correct EXCEPT.

A) Browland’s output sugarcane was greater than Borodia

B) Vernia and Sylvania produced the same amount of sugarcane

C) Vernia’s sugarcane output was less than that of Sylvania

D) Browland and Sylvania produced the same amount of sugarcane

E) Sylvania produced less sugarcane than Browland


Help please..

I think C

Yes
can you provide an explanation.
I made a mistake and don’t know where

The question asks which of the statements furthers the conclusion given in the question. In C , if Vernia’s output is less than Sylvania, then it is possible that Vernia could produce less output than Borodia as we are not given any evidence of Vernia’s output being more than Borodia’s

Here is the link to this question: https://gmatclub.com/forum/four-neighbo ... l#p3385582

I added my explanation. Hope it helps.

I think the answer is B

I think its E

Whats the ans?

reason for eliminating A

Thanks

Yup E it is

I think B

A is actually a weakener. People are saying that because of relaxed laws, maybe more dangerous fire works are being sold and that’s why more burns.
A is saying that the new fireworks don’t include powerful fireworks. So the relaxation probably didn’t have anything to do with more number of severe burns

In fact A, B and C all are weakeners I think

I think the answer is E.

Consumer advocate: There is no doubt that the government is responsible for the increased cost of gasoline, because the government’s policies have significantly increased consumer demand for fuel, and as a result of increasing demand, the price of gasoline has risen steadily.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the consumer advocate’s argument?


(A) The government can bear responsibility for that which it indirectly causes.

(B) The government is responsible for some unforeseen consequences of its policies.

(C) Consumer demand for gasoline cannot increase without causing gasoline prices to increase.

(D) The government has an obligation to ensure that demand for fuel does not increase excessively.

(E) If the government pursues policies that do not increase the demand for fuel, gasoline prices tend to remain stable

Anyone wna try this question?

Official LSAT question

C seems correct I guess

C is already stated in the argument.

Is it A ?

Yup

So why do you think C is wrong? Do you mean that we have to assume the premise to be true? And what’s given in C is actually a premise?

Assumption must be hideen

hidden

What do you mean?

demand increase -> gasoline price increase not equal to gasoline price increase is necessary condition

wow thanks

Hi all, GMAT FOCUS still has Reading Comprehension questions right?

_________________________________
­Right.

I wouldn’t say it’s stated in the argument but rather assumed for the purpose of the statement

But I agree that A sounds more correct
