A side note to sharmin.karim - you can search on these problems in this forum itself before posting. Also you are not posting OA.

Thanks 2amitprakash. I did a search, but nothing was coming up. What do you mean, not posting OA?

OA - Official Answer.
I assume that you are putting these Qs from GMAT Prep. The official answer will be there and that helps in verifying whether we got it right or not.
