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.

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

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

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.
@shishirsks
@shishirsks Жыл бұрын
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.

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 .

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.

Hello, wouldn't we need in the problem "x * IyI > power(y , 2)", the information confirming that y != 0? 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. Thank you for your time. I hope to get an answer, please.

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?

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
