and xy ≠ 0

Quantity A
x

Quantity B
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): B

Explanation:



Multiply both sides by xy (allowed since xy 0):
y - x = 1
y = x + 1
y > x





Six patients have undergone a certain operation. In the graph above, p(x) denotes the probability that exactly x of the patients will have recovered within one month.

Quantity A
The probability that at least 2 and at most 4 patients will have recovered within one month

Quantity B
The probability that at least 1 and at most 3 patients will have recovered within one month

  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): A

Explanation:

Quantity A:
Probability that at least 2 and at most 4 patients recover:
p(2) + p(3) + p(4) = 0.234 + 0.314 + 0.234 = 0.782
Quantity B:
Probability that at least 1 and at most 3 patients recover:
p(1) + p(2) + p(3) = 0.093 + 0.234 + 0.314 = 0.641



x > 0

Quantity A
x percent of 30

Quantity B
30 percent of x

  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:



A certain rectangular solid has height g and a base with dimensions 8 by 10. A certain right circular cylinder has height h, diameter 10, and the same volume as the rectangular solid.

Quantity A
g

Quantity B
h

  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:

Volume of rectangular solid
Base = 8 × 10 = 80
Height = g
So, volume = 80g
Volume of cylinder
Diameter = 10 radius = 5
Base area = (52) = 25
Height = h
So, volume = 25h
Equating volumes
80g = 25h



Compare g and h



g < h





Quantity A
x

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:

x - 2 = (x - 2)2
(x - 2)2 - (x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)((x - 2) - 1) = 0
(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
x = 2 or x = 3
Since we're given x 2, both x = 2 and x = 3 are valid. Since both values of x are possible, and they give different outcomes, the relationship cannot be determined without knowing which x is used.
