What is the range of x if 16x + 32 > 48x + 96?
Given: 16x + 32 > 48x + 96

B -2 < x < ∞ 16x – 48x > 96 – 32
C -∞ < x < -2
-32x > 64
D −∞ < x < 2 Silly mistake!
Multiplying by -1 on both sides: Case if you don’t change the
sign of the inequality
E None of the Above 32x < -64
32x > -64
x < -2
x > -2
-∞ -2 0 ∞

A -5.5 Constraint: x is an integer Given: 16x + 32 > 48x + 96  x < -2

17 + 3x ≥ x + 6
B -5.0 Solving the 2nd inequality: To find: Minimum value of x
C -4.5 17 + 3x ≥ x + 6
D -3 Silly mistake! 2x ≥ -11
Dividing by 2 on both sides:

Absolute Value Questions

Q7 – Absolute Value– Question
600 Level
Question
z is an integer such that |z| < 6. Is z positive?
1. |z-2|>3
2. |z|=2
A Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Q7 – Absolute Value – Steps 1 and 2
– Question Statement Analysis
Is z positive?
To find: Is z positive?
Constraint: • z is an integer.
• |z |< 6 -6 < z < 6
11 possible values of Z ranging from -5, -4…0, 1,…+5

Q7 – Absolute Value – Step 3 – Statement 1 Analysis
|z-2|>3
Is z positive?
Statement 1: |z-2|>3
|z-2|>3
Can we write |z-2|>3 as: -3 < z-2 < 3
This is true
• z-2 > 3 • z-2 < -3
when |z-2| < 3
o z>5 • -6 < z < 6 o z < -1
Substitute
No integral value o -6 < z < -1
• z-2=t
between 5 and 6
All values are negative
• |t| > 3
Visualize |t|>3 on number line
So, z can be both,
t < -3 |t|<3 t>3 positive and negative ??
Statement 1 is sufficient
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

1. |z|=2
Is z positive?
Statement 1: |z|=2
Z= +2 and -2
Statement 2 is NOT sufficient
Correct Answer - A
1. Pay close attention to the sign of the inequality

2. Be mindful of the implicit constraints given in the questions
Q8 – Absolute Value – Question
700 Level
Is a < b? Question
I. |a – b| = b – a
a
II. <1
b

Is a < b?
To find: Is a < b?
Constraint: No constraint
Nothing much is given in the question statement.

Is a < b?
Is a < b?
Statement 1: |a – b| = b – a
b −a≥0
|x| = y
b ≥a
y is equal to absolute
value of a number
Two conditions possible
y is non-negative number
a=b
a<b
y≥ 0

Is a < b?
Is a < b?
𝑎
Statement 2: <1
𝑏
Case 1 : b > 0 a<b
Case 2 : b < 0 a>b

Q8– Absolute Value – Step 5
– Combining both Statements together
Is a < b?
Is a < b?
𝑎
Statement 1 - |a – b| = b – a Statement 2: <1
𝑏
B
a=b a<b
a<b a>b C
a<b
E Silly mistake!
Both conditions together are sufficient
Correct Answer - C
1. The absolute value is always non-negative (≥0)

2. Always change the sign of the inequality whenever you multiply an inequality by a negative value
700 Level
Is z > 2? Question
1. |(z-2)2| > 4
2. |8x – 4k| = z, where x , k are variables

Is z > 2?
To find: Is z > 2?
Constraint: No constraint
Nothing much is given in the question statement.

Is z > 2? Is z > 2?
Statement 1: |(z-2)2| > 4
(z−2)2> 22
|(z−2)2|
(z−2)2– 22 >0
(z-2-2)(z-2+2) > 0 A square of any number is
always non-negative
(z-4)(z) > 0
Modulus doesn’t impact
z z
|(z-2)2| > 4  (z-2)2 > 4
0 4
z<0 z>4

Is z > 2? Is z > 2?
Statement 2: |8x – 4k| = z
z ≥0
Case 1: z > 0
Case 2: z = 0

Q9 – Absolute Value – Step 5 – Combining both Statements
together
Is z > 2?
Statement 1 - |(z-2)2| > 4 Statement 2: |8x – 4k| = z
A
z<0 z=0
z>4 z>0 B
z>4
D
Both conditions together are sufficient

E Silly mistake!

II. |Q|=Q

If PQ > 0 and |P|Q = 1, then what is the value of P?
To find: Value of P
|P|Q = 1
Constraint: PQ > 0
Case 1: P > 0 and Q > 0  Either
Case 2: P < 0 and Q < 0 1. |P| = 1, Q is any integer ✓

|P|Q = 1
because |P| can’t 2. |P| = -1, Q is any even x
be negative integer
|P| = 1
because Q ≠ 0 3. Q = 0, |P| is any non-zero x
integer
P=1 P = -1
So, two values of P are possible: 1, -1
Q>0 Q<0

• P=1 • P = -1
P=?
• Q>0 • Q is negative integer
Statement 1: |P|=P
P is non-negative
P≥0
Thus P = 1

• P=1 • P = -1
• Q>0 • Q is negative integer P=?
Statement 1: |Q|=Q
Q is non-negative
Q≥0
Each statement is sufficient

P>0
Correct Answer - D
Thus P = 1
1. In DS questions, it is extremely important to analyze the question statement before moving to Statement Analysis
If |P| ≠ 1 and |P|Q =1, then what is the value of P?
1. |P|=P+Q
2. |Q|=P-2

If |P| ≠ 1 and |P|Q = 1, then what is the value of P?
To find: Value of P
Constraint: |P| ≠ 1
|P|Q = 1
P≠ 1 or -1
 Either
because |P| ≠ 1 1. |P| = 1, Q is any integer x

|P|Q = 1
because |P| can’t 2. |P| = -1, Q is any even
integer
x
P is any non-zero integer other than -1 or 1 be negative
P≠ 0, 1 or -1 3. Q = 0, |P| is any non-zero

integer
✓

Q11 – Absolute Value – Step 3
– Statement 1 Analysis
• Q=0
• P any number other than -1, 0, 1 P=?
Statement 1: |P|=P + Q
|P| = P + 0
|P| = P
Statement 1 is not sufficient
P is non-negative
P≥0
P can be any positive integer

Q11 – Absolute Value – Step 4
– Statement 2 Analysis
• Q=0
• P any number other than -1, 0, 1 P=?
Statement 1: |Q|=P – 2
0=P-2
Q=0
P=2
Correct Answer - B
1. In DS questions, it is extremely important to analyze the question statement before moving to Statement Analysis
