GMAT Data Insights: Two-Part Analysis 2

Question 1

A Two-Part Analysis question asks you to select two values from one shared answer column. What does this format require you to evaluate?

Accepted Answer

Two related quantities or conditions in a single table

Answer

Two-Part Analysis presents one column of options from which you choose two answers for two related tasks.

Question 2

A company's revenue R and cost C satisfy R = 5x and C = 2x + 60, where x is units sold. If you must pick values of x that make profit exactly zero and profit equal to 30, what is x for zero profit?

Accepted Answer

20

Answer

Profit = R - C = 5x - (2x + 60) = 3x - 60; setting to 0 gives x = 20.

Question 3

Using R = 5x and C = 2x + 60, which value of x makes profit equal to exactly 30?

Accepted Answer

30

Answer

3x - 60 = 30 gives 3x = 90, so x = 30.

Question 4

In Two-Part Analysis, a common trap is choosing the same option for both parts. When is selecting the same value for both columns allowed?

Accepted Answer

Only when the question permits it and the value satisfies both conditions

Answer

The same option may be valid for both parts if it independently satisfies each condition and the prompt allows it.

Question 5

Two trains leave a station; you must find one speed that covers 240 miles in 4 hours and another that covers 240 miles in 6 hours. The first speed is:

Accepted Answer

60 mph

Answer

Speed = distance/time = 240/4 = 60 mph.
