    I am inherently good at quant and got a Q51 in an official mock. However, I did not know around 80% of the techniques used in this video. Proud to say this webinar was useful for me and I am sure would be for everyone.

      If it had been the question of ‘weakening the argument’
      I would have gone with your comment as the answer.😅

    Answer to 700 ( last question ) is both conditions are sufficient. On solving the given equation, we will get two solutions x=y or x+y=-4 (remove the mod and solve by type3).
    To remove x=y solution, we need a statement to say x and y are not equal.
    XY2, Y

      @vikramaditya8126 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So ultimately what is the answer ..what is the value of X+Y?
      Is it -4?

    In the question is x|y| > y^2 along with conditions x > 0 , x > y we can also add one more that is y < 0 bcz in the equation y is inside mode on the L.H.S and getting squared on the R.H.S where it converted into postive both the sides .

  • @houdasrhir3216
    @houdasrhir3216 ปีที่แล้ว

    The question around minute 38, I think the question should be is x>IyI? and not is x>y. Therefore, the answer to the question should be E and not C. For the second case where the conditions are y>0 and x>y, yes the answer is C. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you very much for this very insightful video.

    • @gmatclub
      @gmatclub  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am not sure if Aditya (the instructor in this video) is actively following the comments posted here. Perhaps it would be a good idea to post this question and your query in GMAT Club quant forum to seek feedback from the community and experts. gmatclub.com/forum/quantitative-7/

  • @shishirsks
    @shishirsks ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It think there is mistake @38:26.......The answer will be "E" for the first question. Because the right condition we need to satisfy would be x > |y|, not just "x > y". For example, consider, x = 4 and y = -3, this makes the question true. However, we consider x = 4, y = -6, then it negates the above equation, while both cases are complying with the two options i.e. x>0 and x>y. Hence I am saying that the essential condition is x>|y|, and not x > y.

  • @sayaknag4918
    @sayaknag4918 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The problem in 37:55 is wrong I think.
    X>|y| this should be the case.
    only X>0 and X>y will not solve the equation.
    Ex: X=1, Y=-2

    • @physicsnovice656

    • @jasonvoreseeas6578
      @jasonvoreseeas6578 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes that's true but the second part is correct where 1st statem is y>0 and 2 is x>y is accurate

    • @vaishnavisharma8405
      @vaishnavisharma8405 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah that's right. But while solving it he said the magnitude of x should be greater than the magnitude of y; and if we say |x| > |y|, and x>0, then it would suffice.

This is given in the second instance of the problem, where y > 0 and x > y, but not in x > 0 and x > y. Therefore, I would think the info from both last statements to be insufficient.

Moving on to 2 gives me 2 possibilities which when I check in 1 show that y will be imaginary if x is -8. Giving me my answer c and y=14. Please tell me if this is the correct way to see this?

    Shouldn't the answer be E instead of C?
    Don't we need |x| > |y| (instead of x > y)?
    If x = 2 and y = -3, then LHS is 6 and RHS is 9 : then x|y| < y^2
    If x = 4 and y = -3, then LHS is 12 and RHS is 9: then x|y| > y^2

    At time 1.15.00 hr, in that particular problem why can't we solve the equation |x-5|=5-× by considering( x-5 )can be positive or -(×-5) .

      We can do it with that method, but it'll only take more time. Instead, if we think that 5-x is greater than or equal to 0, then it'll make our life much easier.

      Hey guys, I have a question linked to this one. During the whole webinar the explanation was that |x| = something, we can analyze that X => 0, but in this problem, the approach was to take the something =>0, and the results are different. Can anyone tell me why use 5-x =>0 instead of x-5 =>0. Thanks in advance.

    You are incorrect for the question at 35:07 the correct answer is x > |y| for the equation x |y| > y^2
    You have x > 0 and x>y
    However, to prove this incorrect. Use x = 4 and y = -5
    These numbers satisfy your condition of 4 > 0 and 4 > -5
    The do NOT satisfy the original equation. 4 x |-5| is not greater than (-5)^2
