For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement can be shown to be true based on information in the table. Otherwise, select No

No, No, Yes

Explanation

Answer 1

A. This producer is responsible for a majority of the nation’s exports of Rooibos tea

The producer commands 53% of the country’s sales for Rooibos tea, yet it only constitutes 49% of its exports.

B. This producer exports more matcha tea than green tea.

While the producer has a larger portion of the country’s exports for Matcha tea as compared to green tea, without specific export quantities, it’s impossible to determine which type this producer exports in greater volume.

C. The top two exporters of black tea combined export a majority of the nation’s black tea

The producer is responsible for exporting 32% of the country’s black tea and ranks as the second-largest exporter of this variety. Similarly, the leading exporter must export more than 32%. This means that when combined, the top two exporters must account for more than 64% of the country’s total exports.

would not help explain, would help explain, would help explain

Explanation

Answer 2

A. Visitors in city NV show a preference for indoor gambling over attending sporting events

The preferences of NV visitors do not account for the behavior of the city’s residents, which is why the low attendance rate for sporting events among the actual population of NV is not adequately explained.

B. The football team in WA recently experienced the departure of several important players.

The declining performance of WA’s football team might be a contributing factor to the rising popularity of other sports in the city.

C. PA’s high schools have an outstanding hockey program

If a substantial number of high school students in PA are involved in playing hockey, it’s likely that they and their families would develop a greater interest in watching hockey compared to other sports

GMAT Multi Source Reasoning Sample Questions

 

Question 3 & 4 (Exam: GMAT FE, Difficulty Level: Medium, Question Type: Multi Source Reasoning) Email #1 Email from HOD to publication manager: I hope this message finds you well. We are in the process of finalizing the schedule for the upcoming training session on November 1st for new clients interested in our EXM software. As of now, we have received 23 reservations, and we anticipate that the class will reach its maximum capacity at 35 students, which aligns with the capacity of our training room. Our training manuals are currently in production and are expected to be ready for content review by September 15th. Factoring in a two-week period for the developer’s review, this allows us a three-week window for your department to incorporate the necessary formatting, standard company information, and facilitate the printing process. Could you please provide a tentative date by which we can expect the delivery of 35 manuals, ensuring they are in our possession prior to October 21st? This timeline will enable us to allocate a week to 10 days for our trainers to adequately prepare their computer-based exercises. Email #2 Email from publication manager in response to HOD: Thank you for the training schedule update. October is exceptionally busy for us, and we’ll make sure to allocate time for your manual. Could you please share an estimated page count for the manual? Our standard company information spans three pages. The billing will be based on a per-page rate, along with fixed collation and preparation costs, presently set at $2.00 per manual. If color graphics are included, there will be an additional charge of $0.50 per page on top of the regular $0.25 per page for black and white text. Assuming the manual is under 100 pages, we’re confident we can meet your deadline Email #3 Email from HOD in response to the publication manager: The manual for the upcoming three-day training session is expected to surpass 100 pages, possibly extending up to 115 pages, including 5 pages featuring color graphics. I will have the precise page count once the review process is concluded on October 1st.

The Bottom Line

Ivy League schools offer prestige and vast resources, while non-Ivy League benefits include diverse academic programs and an inclusive environment. Indian students studying abroad must consider factors such as personal goals, financial considerations, and the specific offerings of each institution. There are constant challenges when an Indian student studies abroad, but these can be overcome by choosing the right platforms and connecting them with advisors.
