x is an even positive integer.

Quantity A
The number of odd positive integers less than x

Quantity B
The number of even positive integers less than x + 1

  1. Quantity A is greater.
  2. Quantity B is greater.
  3. The two quantities are equal.
  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Since x is an even positive integer, we can assume x = 2k, where k is a positive integer.
Quantity A: The number of odd positive integers less than x is the number of odd integers from 1 to x - 1.
Since x is even, the odd integers are 1, 3, 5, ..., x - 1. There are k such odd integers, as every second integer is odd.
Quantity B: The number of even positive integers less than x + 1 is the number of even integers from 2 to x.
Since x is even, the even integers are 2, 4, 6, ..., x. There are k such even integers, as every second integer is even.



(2x - 1)(y - 4) = 0

Quantity A
xy

Quantity B
2

  1. Quantity A is greater.
  2. Quantity B is greater.
  3. The two quantities are equal.
  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The equation (2x - 1)(y - 4) = 0 implies that either 2x - 1 = 0 or y - 4 = 0.
· If 2x - 1 = 0, then x = 1/2.
· If y - 4 = 0, then y = 4.
The possible values for x and y are x = 1/2 and y = 4. We now calculate the value of xy:



Quantity A is xy = 2, and Quantity B is also 2.





Lines l and m are parallel.

90 < c < 180

Quantity A
c

Quantity B
a + b

  1. Quantity A is greater.
  2. Quantity B is greater.
  3. The two quantities are equal.
  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In the given image, lines l and m are parallel, and the angles a°, b°, and c° are formed by intersecting lines.
Given that 90° < c < 180°, it implies that c is an obtuse angle. The angles a and b are supplementary to c, meaning a + c = 180° and b + c = 180°, because they form linear pairs with the angle c.
Since c is between 90 and 180 degrees, a + b = 180°.
Quantity A is c, and Quantity B is a + b, which equals 180.





The semicircle has center O and radius r.

CF = OF
BD || AE

Quantity A
BD

Quantity B

  1. Quantity A is greater.
  2. Quantity B is greater.
  3. The two quantities are equal.
  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

· The semicircle has center O and radius r.
· CF = OF suggests that F is the midpoint of CO.
· BD || AE, meaning BD and AE are horizontal lines.
Since CF = OF, point F is the midpoint of CO. This means BD lies symmetrically within the semicircle. The exact length of BD is not explicitly defined, but it depends on the radius r of the semicircle and how high above O the segment BD is placed. The proportion of BD relative to AE could change based on the given radius and specific distances. Since the exact measurement of BD is unknown and no direct numerical comparison is provided, we cannot definitively determine the relationship between the two quantities.



In a survey of n families, x families had at least 1 child, and y families had at least 2 children.

Quantity A
The number of families in the survey that had exactly 1 child

Quantity B
x - y

  1. Quantity A is greater.
  2. Quantity B is greater.
  3. The two quantities are equal.
  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Quantity A refers to the number of families that had exactly 1 child. This can be calculated as the difference between the number of families with at least 1 child (x) and the number of families with at least 2 children (y).
So, the number of families with exactly 1 child is x - y, which matches Quantity B.
