­Will do! I have signed to Gmat Club Quizzes and could not be happier! I am a huge fan of the tool. It is super useful to be able to filter what type of questions to practice with knowing they are quality questions. Then, every once in a while I try some printed paper QQs as I like to take a break from the screen ­

­\(2x\) will equal zero if \(-1<4x<0\) or  \(-\frac{1}{4}<x<0\)

(1) [x] = 0

 Implies   \(-1<x<0\) 

INSUFF.

(2) [3x] = 0­

Hence   \(-1< 6x<0\) 

\(-\frac{1}{6}<x<0\)

Hence our required condition is satisfied.  

SUFF.

Ans B

Hope it helped

INSUFF.

1+2

INSUFF.

Ans E

However since the OA is given as B, I assume there is a small typo and question should read:

For all real numbers x, [x] is defined as the smallest integer that is greater than x. Is [2x] = 0 ?

In that case B would be SUFF. 

ruis  can you please check. Thank you

­For all real numbers x, [x] is defined as the smallest integer that is greater than 2x. Is [2x] = 0 ?

For [2x] = 0 to hold true, -1 ≤ 4x < 0 must be true. Hence, the question asks whther -1/4 ≤ x < 0.

(1) [x] = 0

The above implies -1 ≤ 2x < 0, which gives -1/2 ≤ x < 0. Not sufficient.

(2) [3x] = 0­

The above implies -1 ≤ 6x < 0, which gives -1/6 ≤ x < 0. Sufficient.

Answer: B.­
