Simplify the equation:
Is (2y+z)(3x)(5y)(7z) < (90y)(14z)?
Simplified: is (2y+z)(3x)(5y)(7z) < ((2*5*3*3)y)((7*2)z)?
Simplified: is (2y+z)(3x)(5y)(7z) < (2y)(5y)(32y)(7z)(2z)?
Simplified: is (2y+z)(3x)(5y)(7z) < (2y+z)(5y)(32y)(7z)?
Cancel out 2y+z, 5y, and 7z
Simplified: is 3x < 32y?
Evaluate Statement (1) alone.
Statement (1) says that x = 1. So, plug that information in and work from there.
Simplified Question: is 31 < 32y where y is a positive integer?
Further Simplified: is 1 < 2y where y is a positive integer?
At this point, some students can see that Statement (1) is SUFFICIENT. However, a more thorough analysis is provided just to be clear.
Since x and y are given as positive integers, the smallest possible value for y is 1. In this case 1 < 2(1). Since the inequality held true when y=1, it will hold true for any legal value of y since y will only get larger and x will not change.
Thus, 3x will always be less than 32y.
Statement (1) is SUFFICIENT.
Evaluate Statement (2) alone.
Statement (2) says y = 1 and x and z are positive integers. So, plug that information and work from there.
Is 3x < 32(1)?
Or: is 3x < 32?
Or: is x < 2?
Since the only restriction on x is that it is a positive integer, x could be 1 (in which case the inequality would be true and the answer to the question would be "Yes") or, x could be 2 (in which case the inequality would not be true and the answer to the question would be "No").
Since different answers to the question "is x < 2?" are possible, there is no definitive answer to the question. Statement (2) is NOT SUFFICIENT.
Since Statement (1) alone is SUFFICIENT and Statement (2) alone is NOT SUFFICIENT, answer A is correct.
Is (2y+z)(3x)(5y)(7z) < (90y)(14z)?

Simplified: is (2y+z)(3x)(5y)(7z) < (2y+z)(5y)(32y)(7z)?

Draw a diagram of the problem with the information from the question:
AC = 15
You are dealing with a right-triangle since a right angle will be formed by going straight north and then turning straight east.
Evaluate Statement (1) alone.
Translate the information from Statement (1) into algebra:
(AB)/(BC) = 4/3
3(AB) = 4(BC)
Set up a Pythagorean theorem equation:
(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (AC)2
(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (15)2
You now have two equations and two unknowns:
Equation (1): (AB)2 + (BC)2 = (15)2
Equation (2): 3(AB) = 4(BC)
With two unique equations and two unknowns, a solution must exist. With this solution, you can subtract 15 from the detour distance and arrive at an answer.
Statement (1) is SUFFICIENT.
Note: You should not do these calculations on the test since they are not necessary for determining sufficiency. However, to demonstrate that there is a solution, we show how you would arrive at a numerical answer:
(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (15)2
(AB)2 + (.75AB)2 = (15)2
{rearrange Equation 2, solving for BC and substitute in BC=.75AB}
(AB)2(1 + .752) = 225 {factor out (AB)2}
(AB)2 = 144
AB = 12
Substitute Back into Equation 2:
3(12) = 4(BC)
BC = 9
With these two distances, you can calculate the distance traveled on the detour.
Direct Route: 15
Detour: 9 + 12 = 21
Extra Distance: 21 - 15 = 6
Evaluate Statement (2) alone.
Set up a Pythagorean theorem equation:
(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (AC)2
(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (15)2
You are told that AB = 12. Substitute this information in and solve for BC.
(12)2 + (BC)2 = (15)2
(BC)2 = 81
BC = 9
Statement (2) is SUFFICIENT.
Note: You should not do these calculations on the test since t

Percentage fall in Nifty:
(1,285 – 1,265)/1,285
= 18/1,285 = 1.4 %,
Hence 98.50 is the best answer.
(1,285 – 1,265)/1,285
= 18/1,285 = 1.4 %,
Hence 98.50 is the best answer.

The most important concern in the minds of social media users is the protection of their privacy. Accordingly, as per the privacy policy released to customers, most social media companies use the latest 256-bit encryption techniques to transmit and store user data. However, recent tests done by several security companies show that 128-bit encryption is sufficient for all practical purposes. Hence, if data security is the only objective, then by switching to the older and cheaper 128-bit encryption, media companies can increase their overall profits without compromising on the security of user data.
Which of the following, if true, argues against the suggested change in the encryption techniques?

Automation, the trademark of a modern economy, is essential to maximizing a country's economic production while minimizing its costs. Health care executives want to increase revenues while reducing costs. Consequently, they propose significantly greater automation of health care. Yet, this should be rejected.

Q. Which of the following expresses the main point of the argument?- a)Health care should not be heavily automated

- c)Trends in the general economy do not apply to the health care industry
