"Confusing-correlation-with-causation"
A favorite GMAT CR fallacy.
Example: Grandma sneezed, so a tornado hit Nebraska.
In DS, an answer is achieved only when the answer is "consistent".
Q. Is X a multiple of 24?
(1) X is a multiple of 6.
(2) X is a multiple of 4.
X = 24 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "Yes".
X = 12 satisfies both (1) and (2), leads to "No".
"Inconsistent". Hence, insufficient. Answer is E.
In DS, beware of "exceptions".
Q. Is X positive?
(1) |X| = X.
Because of the exception "X = 0" case, this statement is insufficient.
