This lesson is part of a series of practice test questions for the
quantitative reasoning section of the GRE revised General Test.
These are the directions for the Quantitative Comparison Questions.
Directions: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given, and select one of the following four answer choices:
(A) Quantity A is greater.
(B) Quantity B is greater.
(C) The two quantities are equal.
(D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Example 1:
Quantity A: Product of even integers from -12 to 6 inclusive.
Quantity B: Product of odd integers from -5 to 13 inclusive.
Example 2:
Quantity A: The number of distinct prime factors of 20
6
Quantity B: The number of distinct prime factors of 32
10
Example 3:
w, x and y are consecutive even integers.
wxy = 0
w < x < y
Quantity A: x
Quantity B: 0
Example 4:
w, x and y are consecutive even integers.
wxy = 0
w < x < y
Quantity A: x
Quantity B: 0
Example 5:
y = 5 × 6 × 14 × 15
Quantity A: Remainder when y is divided by 18
Quantity B: Remainder when y is divided by 40.
