[GMAT math practice question]
Is x<y?
1) 3^x<2^y
2) x>0 and y>0
=>
Since we have 2 variables (x and y) and 0 equations, C is most likely to be the answer. So, we should consider conditions 1) & 2) together first. After comparing the number of variables and the number of equations, we can save time by considering conditions 1) & 2) together first.
Conditions 1) & 2):
Since 3^x < 2^y and x, y are positive, we have 2^x < 3^x < 2^y or 2^x < 2^y. It follows
