Thank you for the explanations, they really are an eye opener. Can you maybe please post some worksheets on such specific problems ? Or suggest where we can solve them just to get better at it?
I have a misgiving regarding the second question : Qty A -> p-q Qty B -> p-r With your trick from one of your previous videos, p-q ? p-r (Cancel out p) -q ? -r (Since both the variables are positive, we can multiply a negative sign on both sides.) q ? r since r>q Quantity B is greater. Please correct me if I am wrong. :)
When multiplying by a negative you flip the sign (greater than or less than), so -q ? -r doesn't just become q ? r. To represent the flipping of the direction of the sign you would have to flip the sides, so it is now r ? q, giving the correct answer. Hope that helps!
Hello Philip, can you explain the 2nd riddle if we are to take decimals for q and r as we are told numbers not integers and i am now even more confused seeing the explanation of yours at sujay's comment as the sings are not clearer my device as a matter of fact. it would be great if you explain both of these doubts.
unfortunately, many of GRE questions are intentionally poorly written. However, both quantities cannot be equal because then the inequality will not be satisfied. The questions should say: x and y are positive integers SUCH THAT 3x < 4y.
Since they are mentioned as numbers ,shouldn't we consider fractions and decimals in question 2? If they are mentioned as integers, then it is fine. they have mentioned numbers.
I have the same doubt . I also have a doubt since they have mentioned "numbers". In that case , we should also be considering fractions and decimals right.
Thank you for sharing these tricks. I have GRE exam scheduled in a few days and your videos are giving me the confidence i need to face exam.
Definitely helpful technique!
In the third riddle, for the last option, we can also add a
You are really helping me immensely!!!
Absolutely great video!
Hello Philip! Glad to see your quant video..Thanks a ton
You are very welcome Sumaiyaara
Well explained, thanks for taking your time to make it simple. I wish to have a 320 in my GRE, what are your advice for me?

Great idea, I twill try to find or make some
In the riddle 3, can we do a
Hello Philip, I love watching your videos, can you make more walkthrough videos while solving GRE, Thank you
I will! Thanks Aniket
Nice, please make videos on quant questions to score 165 to 170 quant.
😂😂😂 he has already made check them

Glad you think so!
I am almost crying at how good this is. Jesus Christ, you are the man. Have a cupcake
yum
In riddle 1, why can't option C (both the quantities are equal) be the answer in order to satisfy the inequality?

I think u should tick ur answer too in the question
In the second riddle shouldn't it be d considering that p, q and r could all be equal too and that would result in qty a and b both being equal to 0
I have the same doubt . I also have a doubt since they have mentioned "numbers". In that case , we should also be considering fractions and decimals right.
Hey Philip I am loving your vedios could u do that same for exponents and roots
I did a 1.5 hr video on exponents just last week!
I'm still not understanding the logic on riddle 2. Can someone explain it a little bit more?
I still didn't quite get hoe to compare after isolation
First .....
This video could've been shorter. It feels a bit over-explained
Noted. I do feel like your comment could be a bit shorter too though. How about 'A bit over-explained'? or even just 'Overexplained :('.
