I think the trick here is in the very final part of the question: people who not ONLY visited C.

So the answer should be Total - Visited Only C.

According to that the answer would be 241

There is this question, I am really struggling to understand the conclusion of the statement. If anyone can help to explain?

Hi RM04. This part is the conclusion:

This study supports the theory that a million-dollar contract tends to weaken an athlete’s desire to excel by diminishing his or her economic incentive.

There are a few ways to strengthen the conclusion on a GMAT question:

  1. Strengthen the assumption - tends to be used more on easier questions
  2. Weaken a counter-argument - tends to happen more on harder questions and that's what's used here more or less.

This I've figured out, is the conclusion, but I couldn't understand it. Specifically, the last phrase that, by diminishing her economic incentive.

What is getting diminished???

The incentive is getting diminished (which means they are less motivated)

I would go for A. The first argument brings a value for the expression 3^x+3^-x=b-9 so this is sufficient. X>0 brings multiple values of B so insufficient

P.S. Pure algebraic questions are no longer a part of the DS syllabus of the GMAT.

DS questions in GMAT Focus encompass various types of word problems, such as:

  • Word Problems
  • Work Problems
  • Distance Problems
  • Mixture Problems
  • Percent and Interest Problems
  • Overlapping Sets Problems
  • Statistics Problems
  • Combination and Probability Problems

While these questions may involve or necessitate knowledge of algebra, arithmetic, inequalities, etc., they will always be presented in the form of word problems. You won’t encounter pure "algebra" questions like, "Is x > y?" or "A positive integer n has two prime factors..."

Check GMAT Syllabus for Focus Edition

You can also visit the Data Sufficiency forum and filter questions by OG 2024-2025, GMAT Prep (Focus), and Data Insights Review 2024-2025 sources to see the types of questions currently tested on the GMAT.

So, you can ignore this question.

Hope it helps.­

_________________________________
CR 1

Of late, several waste management companies have reported that the percentage of plastic items in the waste they collect for disposal in landfills has been increasing. This fact, however, does not warrant the conclusion that the administration’s efforts to dissuade people from throwing plastic items in their garbage have failed. It’s just that, of late, more and more quantities of other waste products such as glass, paper and metal items are being recycled, leading to an overall decrease in the quantity of waste that needs to be disposed in landfills and thereby to an increase in the ‘percentage’ of plastic items that have to be disposed off in landfills.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

(A) The first provides a conclusion that the argument disagrees with; the second provides evidence in support of the disagreement.

(B) The first is the primary conclusion of the argument and the second provides further support for this conclusion.

(C) The first is a claim that the argument goes on to dispute; the second provides support for the primary conclusion of the argument as a whole.

(D) The first provides evidence to support an explanation that the argument favors; the second is that explanation.

(E) The first provides evidence to support an explanation that the argument rejects; the second is a competing explanation that the argument favors.
_________________________________
CR 2

A decade after a logging operation in India began cutting down trees in a territory that serves as a sanctuary for Bengal tigers, the incidence of tigers attacking humans in nearby villages has increased by 300 percent. Because the logging operation has reduced the number of acres of woodland per tiger on average from 15 acres to approximately 12 acres, scientists have theorized that tigers must need a minimum number of acres of woodland in order to remain content.

Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the scientists’ hypothesis?

(A) In other wildlife areas in India where the number of acres of woodland per tiger remains at least 15 acres, there has been no increase in the number of tiger attacks on humans.

(B) Before the logging operation began, there were many fewer humans living in the area.

(C) The largest number of acres per tiger before the logging operation began was 32 acres per tiger in one area of the sanctuary, whereas the smallest number of acres per tiger after the logging operation was 9 acres.

(D) Other species of wild animals have begun competing with the Bengal tigers for the dwindling food supply.

(E) The Bengal tiger has become completely extinct in other areas of Asia.
