↧↧↧ Detailed Video Solution to the Problem↧↧↧

Iframe

What is the smallest five-digit number which when divided by 7, 11 and 21 leaves a remainder of 5 in eachcase?

Let's solve the problem using twomethods

Method 1:Elimination

Let's subtract 5 from all the option choices so that we have numbers which are divisible by 7, 11 and 21

=> A. = 10154 (10159-4)
=> B. = 10003
=> C. = 10104
=> D. = 10092
=> E. = 10164

Since the numbers are divisible by 21 => they are divisible by 3
=> Sum of the digits should be divisible by 3
(Watch this video to MASTER DIVISIBILITYRULES)

=> A. Sum of digits = 1+0+1+5+4 = 11 NOT DIVISIBLE by 3 =>ELIMINATE
=> B. Sum of digits = 1+0+0+0+3 = 4 NOT DIVISIBLE by 3 =>ELIMINATE
=> C. Sum of digits = 1+0+1+0+4 = 6 DIVISIBLE by 3 =>KEEP
=> D. Sum of digits = 1+0+0+9+2 = 12 DIVISIBLE by 3 =>KEEP
=> E. Sum of digits = 1+0+1+6+4 = 12 IVISIBLE by 3 =>[color=#27ae60]

@OokandGluk is spot on!

Even in our everyday speech, when we use "generally", we are typically trying to pass off something as a factual truth.
For instance - "generally, countries that have huge military spending tend to be military superpowers"

This is me trying to say - "here is a fact. Typically (generally), it so happens that countries that have hige military spending also happen to be military superpowers." I as the author am trying to present this statement as a factual truth.

I could state the same fact this way - "90% of countries that have hige military spending also happen to be military superpowers.".

Both these sentences mean the same for all practical purposes. I (the author) am telling you that typically, X is the situation.

So ->" Companies that outsource generally dismantle some of theircapabilities ".

This is the author telling us that typically (say, for example, in 70% of cases), companies that outsource

An amusement park has enough space on its ground to add one more roller coaster. It is considering two options: a roller coaster based on popular action film and one based on a popular children’s television series. However, studies show that only young children are fans of the television series, so the amusement park will be better served by building the roller coaster based on the actionfilm.

Indicate two different statements as follows: one statement identifies an assumption required by the argument, and the other identifies a possible fact that, if true, would provide significant logical support for the requiredassumption.

I think the question is fine.

Premise: Studies show that only young children are fans of the television series,

Conclusion: the amusement park will be better served by building the roller coaster based on the action film.

There is a gap here. The premise tells us that only young

It is great news that Princeton has GMAT Focus practice tests!
Their questions have been some of the weaker ones (both Q and V) in the past and that has had a cascading effect.
I think it is better than nothing but you can only get certain with the official GMAT Prep practice tests. Once we get more people taking both, we will be able to get a sense but for now your guess is as good as mine.

Hisleepingbonita . Wow. 200K EUR - that's a meaningful amount and it gets pretty real when borrow and when you stare at your balance.

It is not uncommon for the US MBA applicants (from US or elsewhere) to borrow for the full cost and some may borrow 200K+ for a program such as Stern or MIT. There are people who absolutely pay a stick price. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Calculate the payment you will have after you graduate. Note that you will be charged interest only on the funds you use and after you use them. So if you borrow during the first semester, you will be charged interest only on that portion, so you will be paying interest on $50K at this point, not 200K, sine you would receive 1/4th during the first semester and 1/4th during the second in the first year (or quarter but it is the same thing basically)
2. Learn if you have to pay interest during school - if so, you will need more money 😬
