The conclusion of the argument:- The repair will be helpful in increasing the water supply.
Option E says that there is no harm being made by the leakage as the ground water is being replenished .
Hence there is no significant benefit that is possible by repairing .
They can go for the repairing but it's not gonna help much as the water leaked is already going back to the ground water level.
E is the answer as it will lead to the conclusion i.e "repairing will not be helpful".

That basically makes sense. It might be a bit better if you captured more specifically the conclusion, which is not simply that the repairs will be helpful but that repairing the pipes will increase supply without causingdamage.

Here are my 2 cents,

Note what the question stem is saying principle that, if accepted, would most strongly imply that the company should hire a Famous/Promote from withinCEO

Now,
It means that combining the options with the premise of argument should strongly yield the conclusion to either support famous CEO or promoted from within CEO

2 Key points in premise are there:

1. The company wants to make a change in order to generate revenuequickly , possibly by hiring a famous
CEO.

2. Promoting from within has been a successful strategy for thecompany , yielding many of its most effective high-level managers

Let's check in the options:

Only option- A company will often see a quick rise in revenue immediately after hiring a CEO with experience in variousindustries. along with the premise pt 1supports famousCEO .

Only option- A company should not dispense with a current strategy unless that strategy has proven to beunsuccessful. along with premise pt2supports promote

The tens digit of 2x+2y will depend only on the units digit, so it doesn’t matter what other digits are.
Let the two numbers be 6a and 6b.
Least value of 2(x+y) = 2(60+60) = 240
Maximum value of 2(x+y) = 2(69+69) = 276

So 2(x+y) can take all even values from 240 to 276.
Thus, tens digit can be 4, 5, 6 and 7, a total of fourvalues.

B

What do you mean by even values? Also why is the assumption that the "positive" integer for x and y is only 2 digits (and not bigger)? Help is appreciated

Even values meant even integers between 240 and 276.

The reasoning of the argument involves the idea that Oriole Airlines will do better if consumers come directly to its website to book flights rather than use independent websites.

We see that (D) has no effect on the argument.

For one thing, regardless of whether consumers who shop for less expensive fares through independent Web sites book flights through those Web sites rather or through airline Web sites, if they are finding fares that are less expensive than Oriole's fares, they won't book flights with Oriole.

Thanks to MiM Essay's personalized approach and structured assistance, the complex application process seemed much more manageable. And the best part? Definitely the mock interviews! They were robust and time-consuming yet clinical and to the point.

At first, we can break $n(n^2 - 1)$ into (n-1)n(n+1).
Let us take statement 1. If n=1,3,5... then the product is divisible by 24. If n=2,4,6... then the product is not divisible by 24. Insufficient.
Let us take statement 2. If n=1,3,5... then the product is divisible by 24. Additionally, statement 2 says n is odd. This is sufficient.

Hi thereGaurav07

I hope you are doing well. Applying to ISB's Co'26 cohort is a great goal, so let's see how you can stand out.

Your academic background shows strong improvement. While the 10th and 12th percentages might be on the lower side, your stellar 9.12 CGPA in Media and Advertising from KC College Mumbai demonstrates a focus on your chosen field. The GRE score of 318 is decent, but aiming for a slightly higher score closer to the average could strengthen your application.

Your work experience at Dentsu International and Leo Burnett, two top advertising agencies, is impressive. Having experience with clients like Tata Motors and Bajaj showcases your exposure to diverse brands and marketing challenges. Highlighting specific campaigns you worked on and their results would be impactful in your application essays.

The internships in advertising and PR agencies provide a solid foundation in your chosen field. Consider if any specific projects from these internships can be woven

Hey theregmatnil

I hope you are doing well. Your profile looks good on the surface, and it's great to see you're aiming for the Co'26 cohort.

Your academic background is solid. Scoring a perfect 10/10 CGPA in 10th and a strong 92% in 12th showcases your academic foundation. The 8.83 CGPA from NIT Surat, a top engineering college, demonstrates consistent performance. While the 99th percentile in JEE Mains is impressive, admissions focus more on recent scores like your GMAT. Your target score of 675 is within the ISB's average range.

Your work experience is compelling. Switching from Analytics/Pharma Consulting in ZS to Risk Management at Amex highlights your adaptability and willingness to explore different areas of business. The fast-track promotion at Amex is definitely a feather in your cap and showcases your potential for leadership.

The internships at Reliance Group offer valuable industry exposure, particularly if you can tie them back to your career goals in your application

1 there represents the job done. Specifically, 1 pool is filled while water equal to 10*1/4 = 2.5 of the pool's capacity is poured in, and the amount of water equal to x*1/5 of the pool's capacity is drained out.

I am assuming this question to be $\sqrt{2x^2-x-9}=x+1$

Squaring on both the sides:
$2x^2-x-9=x^2+2x+1$
Simplifying will yield:
$x^2-3x-10=0$
$(x-5)(x+2)$
x = 5 or -2
Sum of all possible solutions is $5 + (-2) = 3$
Ans: C

Please confirm the OA.

OA: option d: 5

If we put back the solution x = -2 into the equation then it is not valid .
We get 1 = -(1) , which is not true .
However, for x = 5 then equation is valid giving the result 6 = 6 .

Hence only 5 is a valid solution for the equation .

Can someone show how to do this with plugging in numbers please.

The characteristics equation of x^2=x+1 follow the reoccurrence a_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}. , commonly referred to as Fibonacci sequence.

This equation gives golden ratio and inverse of golden ratio as its roots

x^3 is equivalent to a_3 .
x^2 is a_2
x is a_1
1 is 1

You can find a_3 in terms of a_1
a_3=a_2+a_1=a_1+1+a_1=2a_1+1

This corresponds to 2x+1

Ask GMAT Experts | No improvement in mock score

(Rave25) — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 11:51:40 -0800

Hi,

I have been preparing for the GMAT for the last six months. I have enrolled in the Top One Percent course, and after four months of prep (upon completing the entire course), I scored 575 on my first official mock. After dedicating an additional two months to preparation (with mocks from Egmat and Top One Percent) and attempting two more official mocks, I scored 555 on each of them. A more comprehensive report of my scores is as follows:

Mock 1 (official) - 18 Feb, 2024
575 Q80, V78, DI78
Mock 2 (official) - 18 Feb, 2024
555 Q79, V79, DI74
Mock 3 (E-gmat) - 7 April, 2024
555 Q81, V79, DI73
Mock 4 (Top One Percent) - 13 April, 2024
565 No section-wise score is available for the test
Mock 5 (Official) - 21 April, 2024
555 Q77, V82, DI73

After the first two mocks, I spent considerable time improving my Critical Reasoning as I was taking too much time per question, and then I started attempting mocks again.

Upon analyzing the mocks, I identified the following problem areas:

When dividing a positive integer by 10, the remainder is always the units digit of that integer. For instance, 123 divided by 10 yields the remainder of 3. Hence, essentially we need to find the units digit of$7^{548}$.

$ 7^{548} = (7^2)^{274} = 49^{274} = (50 -1)^{274}$.

When expanding$ (50 -1)^{274}$ , all terms but the last one will have 50 as their factors making them divisible by 10 and the last term will be$(-1)^{274}=1$ , which when divided by 10 yields the remainder of 1. Here, we could also note that when expanding we'll get all the terms with 50 and the last term$(-1)^{274}=1$ , hence the sum would be something with the units digit of 1, giving the remainder of 1 when divided by 10.

Alternatively, we can use the cyclicity of 7 in positive integer power, which is four, meaning that the units digit of 7 in positive integer power repeats in blocks of four {7,
