Quantitative Comparison
Question: Column A m>n>0 xm Given Answer: Explanation: Answer is D. if x = 0, xm = xn if x>0, xm > xn If x < 0 the results can xm = xn xm > xn xm < xn thus, the relationship cannot be determined. E Correct Answer xn D Column B

Question: Column A a(a-c) + b(a-c) Given Answer: Explanation: Answer is C. Note that each term on the left contains a factor of (a-c). This expression can therefore be factored to (a+b)(a-c), which is identical the expression in Column B. E Correct Answer Column B (a+b)(a-c) C

Question: Column A the average of 18,20,22,24,26 Given Answer: Explanation: Answer is C. The average of the quantity in Column A is (18+20+22+24+26)/5 = 110/5 = 22. also the average of the quantity in Column B is (17+19+21+23+25+27)/6 = 132/6 = 22. so, the quantities are equal in both columns. E Column B the average of 17,19,21,23,25,27 Correct Answer C

Question: Column A the values of y in y2+12y+27=0 Given Answer: Explanation: Answer is B. First factor the left hand side of each equation as follows: y2+12y+27 = (y+9)(y+3) = 0 and x2 12x + 27 = (x-9)(x-3) = 0 notice that the factors are similar except for the signs. However, to compare the values of y in Column A with those of x in Column B, one needs to solve each of the equations as follows: E Column B the values of x in x2 -12x + 27 = 0 Correct Answer B

(y+9)(y+3) = 0 (x-9)(x-3) = 0 y+9=0 y+3=0 x-9 = 0 x-3=0 y = -9 y=-3 x=9 x=3

Hence, the quantity in Column B will always be greater than the quantity in Column A no matter which value of y or x is chosen.

Question: Column A ab = 5 and (a+b)2 = 12 a2 + b2 Given Answer: Explanation: Answer is C. (a+b)2 = a2+2ab + b2. thus a2+b2 = 12-2ab. since ab = 5, a2+b2 = 12 2 5 = 2. therefore, the numbers in both columns are equal. E Correct Answer 2 C Column B
