  • Whoops, I just noticed that GMAT: Data Sufficiency 36 is flipped with GMAT: Data Sufficiency 35.

  • I think (x-y)/(x+y)>1 cannot be written as (x-y)>(x+y) unless we know the sign

  • agree with most recent commenter, went down that road of simplifying and realized you can't do that without knowing the sign. great job with the rest of the problems though.

  • #139 That's because you cannot simplify (x-y)/(x+y)> 1 to x-y>x+y. And that's because you don't know the sign of x+y. If it is negative the inequality sign is changing too. If you replace x = 2 and y = -3 which satisfies both conditions you will get -5 which is NOT greater than 1.

  • Hi Sal, I was just checking problem 139 and found your response very logical, however, in the GMAT guide it shows letter "E" as the right answer. Could you explain why, please?

    Thanks.

  • very helpful! Thanks!
