If you answered 18 out of 24 questions in this test, you are likely to score 750+ in your GRE.
1. Since x > 0, we need only look at x = 1, 2, and 1/2. If x = 1, then x2 + 2 = 3 and x3 2 = 1. In this case,
Column A is larger. Next, if x = 2, then x2 + 2 = 6 and x3 2 = 6. In this case, the two columns are equal.
This is a double case and therefore the answer is (D).
2. Let the original number be represented by xy. (Note: here xy does not denote multiplication, but merely
the position of the digits: x first, then y.). Reversing the digits of xy gives yx. We are told that yx > xy. This
implies that y > x. (For example, 73 > 69 because 7 > 6.) If x = 9, then the condition y > x cannot be
satisfied. Hence, x cannot equal 9. The answer is (E).
Method II:
Let the original number be represented by xy. In expanded form, xy can be written as 10x + y. For example,
53 = 5(10) + 3. Similarly, yx = 10y + x. Since yx > xy, we get 10y + x > 10x + y. Subtracting x and y from
both sides of this equation yields 9y > 9x. Dividing this equation by 9 yields y > x. Now, if x = 9, then the
inequality y > x cannot be satisfied. The answer is (E).

3. Choice (A) = 5.43 + 4.63 3.24 2.32 = 4.5. Short-list choice (A).
Choice (B) = 5.53 + 4.73 3.34 2.42 = 4.5 = Choice (A). Reject choices (A) and (B).
Choice (C) = 5.53 + 4.53 3.342 2.22. There is a third-digit in one of the terms in this expression
(4.532) unlike any other terms. Hence, the result must be in three digits after the decimal. Clearly, the
choice is unequal to the others. Accept the choice. Though not necessary now, the result is 4.498.
Choice (D) = 5.43 + 4.73 3.24 2.42 = 4.5 = Choice (A). Reject choice (D).
Choice (E) = 5.49 + 4.78 3.10 2.21. The result of the expression in the second place (0.09 + 0.08
0.00 0.01 = 0.16) after the decimal does not end with 0 or a multiple of 10 (Here, it ends with 6).
Hence, the result contains up to a second digit after the decimal. No second digit exists in 4.5. Hence,
accept this choice. Though not necessary now, the result is 4.96.
The answers are (C) and (E).
4. 72 82 = (7 8)2 = 562.
The number immediately before 56 that is divisible by 6 is 54. Now, writing 562 as (54 + 2)2, we have
562 = (54 + 2)2
= 542 + 2(2)(54) + 22
= 54[54 + 2(2)] + 22
= 6 9[54 + 2(2)] + 4
by the formula (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

here, the remainder is 4
Since the remainder is 4, the answer is (D).
5. Since x is a large positive number, both x + 1 and x 1 are positive. Hence, we can clear fractions by
multiplying both columns by (x + 1)(x 1), which yields
(x + 1)2
(x 1)2
Performing the multiplication yields

x2 + 2x + 1
x2 2x + 1
Subtracting x2 and 1 from both columns yields

2x
2x
Since x is a positive number, Column A is positive and Column B is negative.

Since all positive numbers are greater than all negative numbers, Column A is greater than Column B and
the answer is (A).

6. Most people will draw the figure as follows:
In this drawing, CM equals DM. But that is too ordinary. There must be a way to draw the lines so that the
lengths are not equal. One such drawing is as follows:
This is a double case, and therefore the answer is (D). (Note: When drawing a geometric figure, be careful
not to assume more than what is given. In this problem, we are told only that the two lines are parallel and
congruent; we cannot assume that they are aligned.)
7. Since the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, the length of a chord is always shorter
than the length of the arc that it makes on the circle. Hence, from the figure, we have
AB < arc AB
BC < arc BC
CD < arc CD
DA < arc DA
Adding the four inequalities yields AB + BC + CD + DA < arc AB + arc BC + arc CD + arc DA. The left
side of the inequality is the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD (which Column A equals), and the right side is
the circumference of the circle (which Column B equals). Hence, Column A is less than Column B, and the
answer is (B).
8. The area of the rectangle ABCD, length width, is (x + 3)(x + 2) = x2 + 5x + 6 = 100 (given the area of
the rectangle ABCD equals 100). Now, subtracting 6 from both sides yields x2 + 5x = 94.
The area of square EFGH is
(2x + 5)2 = 4x 2 + 20x + 25 = 4(x2 + 5x) + 25 = 4(94) + 25 = 401
The answer is (E).
You could also solve for x in the top equation and substitute in the bottom equationbut this would take
too long. The GRE wants to see whether you can find the shorter solution. The premise being that if you
spend a lot of time doing long calculations you will not have as much time to solve the problems and
therefore will not score as high as someone who has the insight to find the shorter solutions.

9. PQRS is a rectangle inscribed in the circle. Hence, diagonal PR must pass through the center of the
circle. So, PR is a diameter of the circle.
Similarly, BD is a diagonal of rectangle ABCD, which is also inscribed in the same circle. Hence, the two
diagonals must be diameters and equal. So, we have PR = BD.
Now, in the figure, lets join the opposite vertices B and D of the rectangle ABCD:
P
Q
B
A
4
l

C
S
Applying The Pythagorean Theorem to the right triangle ABD yields BD2 = AB2 + AD2 = 42 + 32 = 16 + 9 =
25. By square rooting, we get BD = 25 = 5 . Hence, PR also equals 5. Since, from the figure, l equals PR,
l equals 5. The answer is (E).
10. In right triangle EDC, C is right angled, D measures x, and angle E measures 180 (90 + x) =
90 x.
In right triangle ABC, C is right-angled, B measures x, and angle A equals 180 (90 + x) =
90 x.
Since corresponding angles in the two triangles are equal, both are similar triangles and the corresponding
angle sides must be same. Hence, we have
AC/BC = EC/CD
AC/9 = 3
AC = 3 9 = 27
Now, the area of ABC = 1/2 base height = 1/2 AC BC = 1/2 27 9 = 121.5.
The answer is (D).

D
In the figure, FGE equals y (vertical angles). Summing the angles of GEF to 180 yields
GEF + EFG + FGE = 180
GEF + 90 + y = 180
GEF = 180 (90 + y)
= 90 y = 90 60
(since y = 60, given)
= 30
Now, since ABD = BDF (both equal x, from the figure), lines AB and DF are parallel (alternate interior
angles). Hence, CAB = GEF (corresponding angles) = 30 (we know GEF P
&>Fz = CAB
(vertical angles), and therefore z = 30. Enter in the grid.
12. If x y equaled 0, the inequality (x y)3 > (x y)2 would not be valid. Hence, x y is nonzero. Since
the square of a nonzero number is positive, (x y)2 is positive. Hence, (x y)3 > 0. Taking the square root
of both sides of this equation preserves the direction of the inequality:
xy>0
So, x > y. Cubing both sides of this inequality will also preserve the direction of the inequality x3 > y3. The
answer is (E). The remaining choices need not be true.

Now, multiplying both sides of the given inequality x < 1/y by 1 and flipping the direction of the
inequality yields
x > 1/y
... (1)
Since x and 1/y are both positive (since y is positive, so is its reciprocal 1/y), we can safely invert both sides
of the inequality x < 1/y and flip the direction of the inequality to yield 1/x > y. Multiplying both sides of
this inequality by 2 yields
2/x > 2y

Now, adding inequalities (1) and (2) yields

Hence, the answer is (A).
14. We have the system of equations

x+y=7
x2 + y2 = 25
Solving the top equation for y yields y = 7 x. Substituting this into the bottom equation yields
x2 + (7 x)2 = 25
x2 + 49 14x + x2 = 25
2x2 14x + 24 = 0
x2 7x + 12 = 0
(x 3)(x 4) = 0
x 3 = 0 or x 4 = 0
x = 3 or x = 4
Now, if x = 3, then y = 7 3 = 4 and Column A equals x + y2 = 3 + 42 (= Column B); and if x = 4, then y =
7 4 = 3 and Column A = x + y2 = 4 + 32 ( Column B). Hence, we have a double case, and the answer is
(D).

15. Setting the angle sum of the quadrilateral to 360 yields A + B + C + D = 360. Subtracting A
from both sides yields B + C + D = 360 A. Forming the average of the three angles B, C, and
D yields (B + C + D)/3 and this equals (360 A)/3, since we know that B + C + D =
360 A. Now, we are given that A measures 20 degrees more than the average of the other three angles.
Hence, A = (360 A)/3 + 20. Solving the equation for A yields A = 105. The answer is (D).
Interest
100 . From this formula, it is
Principal
clear that the principal being the same (= $1000 in the two given cases), the interest rates are directly
proportional to the interests earned on them ($80 in case of Bank A and $140 in case of Bank B). Hence,
the ratio of the interest rates is 80: 140 = 4 : 7. The answer is (D).
16. The formula for simple interest rate (in percentage) equals
17. Forming the given ratio yields

A/1 = B/2 = C/3 = k, for some integer
A = k, B = 2k, and C = 3k
Choice (A): A + B + C = k + 2k + 3k = 6k. This is a perfect square only when k is a product of 6 and a
perfect square number. For example, when k is 6 92, 6k = 62 92, a perfect square. In all other cases
(suppose k = 2, then 6k = 12), it is not a perfect square. Hence, reject.
Choice (B): A2 + B2 + C2 = k2 + (2k)2 + (3k)2 = k2 + 4k2 + 9k2 = 14k2. This is surely not a perfect square. For
example, suppose k equals 2. Then 14k2 = 56, which is not a perfect square. Hence, reject.
Choice (C): A3 + B3 + C3 = k3 + (2k)3 + (3k)3 = k3 + 8k3 + 27k3 = 36k3. This is a perfect square only when k3
is perfect square. For example, suppose k = 2. Then 36k3 = 288, which is not a perfect square. Hence,
reject.
Choice (D): 3A2 + B2 + C2 = 3k2 + (2k)2 + (3k)2 = 3k2 + 4k2 + 9k2 = 16k2 = 42k2 = (4k)2. The square root of
(4k)2 is 4k and is an integer for any integer value of k. Hence, this expression must always result in a perfect
square. Choose (D).
Choice (E): 3A2 + 4B2 + 4C2 = 3k2 + 4(2k)2 + 4(3k)2 = 3k2 + 16k 2 + 36k 2 = 55k2. This is surely not a perfect
square. Hence, reject.
Choice (F): 8A2 + 5B2 + 3C2 = 8k2 + 5(2k)2 + 4(3k)2 = 8k2 + 20k 2 + 36k 2 = 64k2 = (8k)2. The square root of
(8k)2 is 8k and is an integer for any integer value of k. Hence, this expression must always result in a perfect
square. Choose (F).
Choice (G): 4A2 + 3B2 + C2 = 4k2 + 3(2k)2 + (3k)2 = 4k2 + 12k 2 + 9k 2 = 25k2 = (5k)2. The square root of (5k)2
is 5k and is an integer for any integer value of k. Hence, this expression must always result in a perfect
square. Choose (G).
The answer is (D), (F), and (G).

19. There are 100 female students in the class, and 20% of them are engineering students. Now, 20% of
100 equals 20/100 100 = 20. Hence, the number of female engineering students in the class is 20.
Now, 25% of the female engineering students passed the final exam: 25% of 20 = 25/100 20 = 5. Hence,
the number of female engineering students who passed is 5.
There are 120 male students in the class. And 25% of them are engineering students. Now, 25% of 120
equals 25/100 120 = 1/4 120 = 30. Hence, the number of male engineering students is 30.
Now, 20% of the male engineering students passed the final exam: 20% of 30 = 20/100 30 = 6. Hence,
the number of male engineering students who passed is 6.
Hence, the total number of Engineering students who passed is

22. We have two cases here:

I.
II.
Bob invested in Fund A.

Bob invested in Fund B.
In the first year, fund B was given a growth of 30%. Hence, according to clauses (1) and (2), fund A must
have grown by 20% (the other allowed growth percentage clause (1)).
In the second year, according to the clauses (1) and (3), the growth percentages of the two funds will swap
between the only allowed values 30% and 20% (clause (1)). Hence, fund A grows by 30% and fund B
grows by 20%.
In the third year, according to clauses (1) and (3), the growth percentages will again swap between the only
two allowed values 20% and 30% (clause (1)). Hence, fund A grows by 20% and fund B grows by 30%.
The growth in Fund A is
$1000(100 + 20% of 100)(100 + 30% of 100)(100 + 20% of 100) = $1000 (1.2)(1.3)(1.2) = 1.872 times =
87.2%.
The growth in Fund B is
$1000(100 + 30% of 100)(100 + 20% of 100)(100 + 30% of 100) = $1000 (1.3)(1.2)(1.3) = 2.082 times =
108.2%.
Select the choices (C) and (E).

23. Prime factoring 12 and 36 gives

12 = 2 2 3
36 = 2 2 3 3
Thus, each number has two distinct prime factors, namely 2 and 3. The answer is (C).
24. There are x + y red and blue marbles in the bowl. Subtracting this from the total of 500 marbles gives
the number of marbles that are neither red nor blue: 500 (x + y) = 500 x y. Hence, the columns are
equal, and the answer is (C).
