Sample GRE Quantitative Reasoning 2023 questions

1. Given that m is a negative real number, compare Quantity A: sqrt(m^2) and Quantity B: m.
  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: A. Quantity A is greater

Since m is negative, sqrt(m^2) = |m| = -m, which is greater than m.

2. Given that 0 < t < 1, compare Quantity A: t^2 and Quantity B: t.
  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: B. Quantity B is greater

For a number strictly between 0 and 1, squaring it makes it smaller, so t > t^2.

3. A, B, and C are the interior angles of a triangle. Compare Quantity A: the sum of the measures of angles A, B, and C, and Quantity B: 180 degrees.
  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: C. The two quantities are equal

The interior angles of every triangle sum to 180 degrees.

4. x and y are positive numbers, and x + y = 12. Compare Quantity A: x and 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: D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given

Both x = 8, y = 4 and x = 4, y = 8 satisfy the condition, so either quantity could be greater.

5. Given that p < 0, compare Quantity A: |p| and Quantity B: p.
  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: A. Quantity A is greater

Because p is negative, |p| = -p is positive and therefore greater than p.
