Can you please explain why Option 2 seems to be the correct option for Question no.2? If social constructivism had not gained a level of acceptance, it would lead to a loose or no negotiation between the management and the workers for incorporating new technology. In this case, how can employees can gain any knowledge about the technology and it's implications on the overall workflow and other things in the company? Also why Option 1 can be Eliminated here? If social constraints are not considered, it would indirectly make the process of introducing new technology into play more flexible for the company , which means they are more likely to modernize in such a case.

For question 7, at around 58:47, can the equation |p-q+r| - |p-q+r| be equivalent to (p-q+r) - (p-q+r), since the expression inside the absolute value will always return a positive number, regardless of whether it's negative? As always, incredible videos!
@GMATNinjaTutoring15 сағат бұрын
While the absolute value expression will always return a postive number, we can't assume that what's inside the absolute value sign is positive. When we have something like |5|, we can say it's equivalent to (5) because the absolute value signs don't do anything. However, |-5| is equivalent to -(-5). At this point in the problem, we have |p - q + r|. From earlier in the explanation, we know that p - q is positive, but we don't know whether r is positive or negative so adding r to p - q might give us a positive number or we might have a negative. Since we don't know whether p - q + r is positive or negative, we can't say |p - q + r| is equivalent to (p - q + r). I hope that helps!

For question 6, how did you determine that x + 5 > 0? In other words, I'm failing to understand how you put 0 in the middle of x + 1 and x + 5. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
@GMATNinjaTutoring15 сағат бұрын
At that point in the solution, we need one of x + 5 and x + 1 to be positive and one to be negative. The only way to do this is to have x + 5 be the positive one and x + 1 to be the negative one. It's not possible for x + 1 to be positive and x + 5 to be negative because x + 5 is greater than x + 1. I hope that helps!

Hi, I have a serious problem with Passage 1, Question 2: At 18:32 you mention how they both agree that the attitude towards women's educational opportunities changed. But towards the end of the 2nd paragraph, it is clearly stated "Woody's evidence challenges the notion that the Revolution changed attitudes regarding female education". The part "it may have accelerated earlier trends" is not enough to refute Point D when the support for it is definitively mentioned. The whole point of the 2nd para was that Woody never believed that the Revolution changed attitudes of the people. Rather, it just accelerated existing trends which is a counter point to Kerber's thesis. Hence I do not understand how the answer is point B instead of D. I personally don't even think that Point B's explanation is super convincing as an answer choice.

q6 - why does there have to be 4 different scenarios? the question's language doesn't indicate that the order of the customers matters right?
@GMATNinjaTutoring2 күн бұрын
We don't need to think of the four scenarios as representing the order the customers visit the restaurant. Instead, we could think of each entry in a scenario representing what a customer does. We could say the first entry in each scenario represents what happens if customer A does not buy a pie, the second entry represents what happens if customer B does not buy a pie, and so on. In this way of looking at the solution, it doesn't matter which order the customers visit the restaurant. All we need to know is whether a customer did or did not buy a pie. Since there are four different customers who might be the person who does not buy a pie, we need four different scenarios to represent every possible 'successful' outcome. I hope that helps!

why is the pay on entry ; boarded between 6am-6pm wrong? even though there is an alternate pathway, the set seems right
@GMATNinjaTutoringКүн бұрын
The combination (B) and (A) is wrong because there is an alternate pathway. For this to be the right answer, a person paying on entry MUST NOT have boarded between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm. However, someone could have boarded between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm, not shown a valid student id, and not boarded at a university stop, and they'd still pay on entry. This means we can't say a person paying on entry MUST NOT have boarded between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm. I hope that helps!

Hi, I just want to clarify something regarding the last question. You mentioned that for the digit 7, the same digits can be formed in 9 different ways because there are 10 digits. When we exclude 7, we are left with 9 options. When 7 is in the thousands place, it includes 0 as a valid digit, resulting in 9 ways. However, when 7 is in the middle or at the end, does it not count if 0 is included? If 0 starts the number, it would become a 3-digit number. Shouldn't it be 8 ways then? Specifically, there are 9 ways when 7 is at the beginning, and 8 ways when 7 is not at the beginning (providing we’re excluding 0). That would give us 8 × 3 = 24, in total 24 + 9 = 33 ways for just the digit 7. Am I wrong?🤔
@GMATNinjaTutoring4 күн бұрын
I think you're referring to the part of the solution that Charles labeled #2, but please tell me if I've got that wrong. In this part, Charles specified that he made the thousands digit a 7, this number would have three 7s in it, and there would be a fourth number that would vary. There are nine options for this fourth number (the digits 0-9 but excluding 7), and this fourth number could go in the hundreds, tens, or units spot. In this part of the solution, Charles did not say he'd put this fourth number in the thousands spot. Having done #1 and #2, Charles calculated there are 36 different numbers that would satisfy the "3 digits the same and one digit different" requirement if the number started with a 7. He then asked how many different starting digits could we have? In other words, how many different numbers could replace the 7 in steps #1 and #2? The question tells us that we're only looking for numbers greater than 4000, so Charles said he could have any number from 4-9 occupying the thousands digit. You're absolutely right that if 0 was in the thousands digit, we'd actually have a three-digit number. However, Charles was only looking at numbers that had a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 in that digit, so we don't have to worry about what happens if there were a 0 there. I hope that helps!

Thank you for the video, very helpful! Just have concern about Q6. It has a very bad wording choice - it unclear what the calculated ratio of 5:2:20 means. Is it the ratio just for the afternoon or is it the ratio for the whole business day? Ofc if it is just for the afternoon, then the question is obvious, but it is not explicitly stated. In fact, wording choice in this question means (at least for me) that this calculated ratio of 5:2:20 represents the ratio of orders for the whole day, that is for the morning plus afternoon (initial ratio after morning orders became 5:2:20). And in this case the answer would be 10. Yes, no such answer is provided, so we can understand that something else is meant, but why do I need to guess what was meant in the question?

@GMATNinjaTutoring11 күн бұрын
If anyone has an efficient, alternative solution, we'd love to hear it! Obviously you could take one of the "standard" mechanical approaches mentioned in the video (e.g. finding common denominators to add the fractions or doing long division five times and adding the results), but unless you're an arithmetic wiz, those time consuming and error-prone approaches are not recommended. Just remember that, as discussed in the video, the goal of your GMAT studying isn't to "learn" (i.e. memorize) a bunch of efficient solutions -- you certainly won't come up with a great solution path every time, but you won't strengthen those reasoning muscles if you don't TRY your best to come up with an efficient solution to every new, unique problem that you see. Reading an alternative solution to this problem might be interesting, but it's not likely to help you improve.

Cette technique ne fonctionne peut être uniquement dans cette situation mais elle m'a donné la réponse en 3 secondes.
