What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

m workers, n cooks and m-n waiters...
(I) 3n/4 cooks had degrees, so n/4 cooks do not have degrees AND m/4 of the waiters did not have degrees.
so n/4+m/4=30....n+m=120....(i)
(II) 5n/4 had college degrees, so m-30 had degrees
5n/4=m-30....5n=4m-120....(ii)
substitute value of (i)...
5n=4(120-n)-120......5n=480-4n-120......9n=360.....n=40
so m = 120 - 40 = 80
C
let us solve it logically..
30 did not have degrees and from wordings we can say that there are more with degrees than without degrees..
so our answer has to be > 30*2 or >60.
Now from choices available take m as 80..
so m/4 or 80/4 or 20 cooks do not have degree.
Total 30 did not have degrees, so 30-20 or 10 waiters did not have degrees..
a) 3n/4 cooks had degrees, so n/4 did not have degree, so n/4=10...n=40
b) 5n/4 had college degrees, so 5*40/4=50 had degrees
Total degrees + no degrees = 50+30=80
C
Ofcourse it can be easily done by 2 by 2 matrix.

really an amazing question , I solved it using 2x2 matrix..
from the given matrix we can say
m/4+n/4=30
m+n=120
and 2n/4+m/4=m-n
3m=6n
m=2n
solve for m & n we get m= 80 and n=40
IMO C 80 is correct
