A newly discovered painting on wooden panel by Michelangelo must have been completed after 1507 but before 1509. It cannot have been painted earlier than 1507 because one of its central figures carries a coin that was not minted until that year. It cannot have been painted after 1509 because it contains a pigment that Michelangelo is known to have abandoned when a cheaper alternative became available in that year. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- Michelangelo did not work on the painting over the course of several years.
- The coin depicted in the painting was known to general public in 1507.
- The wooden panel on which the painting was executed cannot be tested accurately for age.
- Michelangelo’s painting style did not change between 1507 and 1509.
- No stocks of the abandoned pigment existed after 1509.

The downturn in the economy last year has prompted many companies to make widely publicized layoffs, resulting in thousands of lost jobs. Economists predicted that these layoffs would cause people generally to cut back on their discretionary spending even if their jobs were secure, in anticipation of coming hard times. However, this prediction has not come to pass, since there has been no increase in the amount of money set aside by the general public in savings accounts. The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the significance of the savings patterns described above?
- What percentage of people laid off have savings accounts?
- What has been the percent increase in the cost of necessities such as food, housing, and utilities during the period since the layoffs?
- How much of their savings, on average, do laid-off employees deplete before finding new employment?
- What business sectors were most affected by the layoffs?
- What has been the average salary during the period since the layoffs?

Guys,
When I saw last years XAT question papers. I observed that the decision making , quant questions rather all questions are a bit different and little more time consuming than that of CAT/IIFT. Can anyone suggest XAT specific study material or practice material for that matter ?
Do Mock XATs of various institutes (especially the online ones) ask one to write an essay?
If yes, could someone share the topics of those?
