In data sufficiency,
if only YES---------->sufficient
if only NO----------->sufficient
But, if it is YES and NO simultaneously in a specific statement (say statement 1)--------------not sufficient.
To be correct answer option D, the statement 1 and 2 MUST produce answer YES-YES or NO-NO, not YES-NO or NO-YES, right Ron?
Similarly:
if it is specific value question like x=what?, the value must be same for statement 1 and statement 2 (say, if statement 1 gives x=100, statement 2 MUST give x=100, to be correct answer option D. If x=100 in statement 1 and x=99 in statement 2, then the construction of this data sufficiency is not GMAT standard!
But, My question is:
here is an specific question bellow:
Is the integer x between 8 and 13, inclusive?
1) x is a multiple of 7
2) x=6
Here, the correct answer is D because both the statements give answer NO. This one is a YES-NO question. But, my question is: In YES/NO question, should i keep the specific value same? I mean: in statement 1, x=7,14,21 (multiple of 7)......... and in statement 2, the specific value of x=6, which is not under the value of the multiple of 7.So, should it be GMAT standard? Should I write the question like below:
Is the integer x between 8 and 13, inclusive?
1) x is a multiple of 7
2) x=7
Thanks...
