GRE- Quantitative Reasoning Set: 1, Quantitative Comparison (77 Questions)
QUESTION: 1
A. The quantity in Column A is greater;
B. The quantity in Column B is greater;
C. The quantities are equal;
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Answer(s): C
Explanation: To determine Quantity A, substitute the number 2 for a and for b in the centered
equation:
(2 + 2)(2 2 2) = (4)(0) = 0
Fol ow the same procedure for the quantity in Column B:
The quantities in both columns equal zero (0).
QUESTION: 2
A. The quantity in Column A is greater;
B. The quantity in Column B is greater;
C. The quantities are equal;
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Answer(s): A
Explanation: For any fractional number between zero (0) and 1, the number is less than its
square root, which in turn is less than its cube root.
QUESTION: 3
Overview of the GRE Section 2: Quantitative Exam
GRE Quantitative Reasoning mandates mastery of advanced algebraic modeling, coordinate geometry, and statistical data interpretation for prospective graduate-level researchers and technical analysts. Candidates must synthesize complex arithmetic operations, linear and quadratic equations, and functional notations to derive precise analytical solutions. The curriculum necessitates rigorous competency in probability theory, permutations, combinations, and geometric spatial reasoning. Furthermore, test-takers execute quantitative comparison and data sufficiency assessments, utilizing discrete data analysis and inferential logic to optimize problem-solving throughput. Success requires high-order abstraction, rapid numerical calculation, and the application of algorithmic strategies to resolve multifaceted mathematical constraints under strictly constrained time-to-completion parameters.
