A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E


* A solution will be posted in two days.

hi,
I do not think either the Q OR the answer is correct..
As far as I know 1/0 is undefined, so how can it be less than -2
None of the answer will fit in


Hi,
Since 1/0 is not the scope of GMAT test, it is not covered.
n<-2 -> 1/n>1/-2 -> 0>1/n>1/-2=-1/2

-> 1/n<-2 and from 0>n>1/-2=-1/2, the range that it satisfies is C.
Therefore, the answer is C.

hi,

1/0 is undefined Not ONLY in GMAT but in actual world too...
If 1/0 is not the scope of GMAT, this Q does not represent GMAT..
Also, inspite of that your solution is not clear at all. Request if the solution can be given in more detail..
