-
Solution
Since she needs to supports a speed of 75 megabits per second, only Category 5 UTP cable can be used.Note that category 5“Supports data transmission speeds up to 100 megabits per second.” This cable costs ₹100 per foot, so 100 feet will cost 100 × ₹100= ₹10000.
Today’s high school students spend too much time thinking about trivial and distracting matters such as fashion. Additionally, they often dress inappropriately on school grounds. Rather than spending time writing another detailed dress policy, we should make school uniforms mandatory.If students were required to wear uniforms, it would increase a sense of community and harmony in our schools and it would instill a sense of discipline in our students. Another positive effect would be that teachers and administrators would no longer have to act as clothing police, freeing them up to focus on more important issues. This paragraph best supports the statement that

Solution
The support for option d is in the third sentence is“.... we should make school uniforms mandatory.”There is no evidence provided to support options a and b and although we know that teachers and administrators are spending some of their time enforcing dress code the paragraph does not quantify how much of their time is spent that way, so there is no support for option c.

If– 1< x< 0, which of the following must be true?
I.x < x2 II.x < x3
III.x2 < x3
-
Solution
The key to analyzing each equation is that raising x to successively greater powers moves the value of x closer to zero (0) on the number line.
(I)must be true. Since x is given as a negative number; x2 must be positive and thus greater than x.
(II)must be true.Both x3 and x are negative fractions between 0 and -1, but x3 is closer to zero (0) on the number line- that is, greater than x.
(III)cannot be true. Since x is given as a negative number; x2 must be positive, while x3 must be negative. Thus, x2 is greater than x3.
