Sample GRE Quantitative Reasoning 2026 questions

1. Quantitative Comparison: Quantity A is 2.4 hours expressed in minutes, and Quantity B is 140 minutes.
  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 2.4 hours equals 2.4 × 60 = 144 minutes, Quantity A is greater.

2. Quantitative Comparison: x is a positive real number and x^2 = 36; Quantity A is 5, and Quantity B is 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: B. Quantity B is greater

Because x is positive and x^2 = 36, x = 6, so Quantity B is greater than Quantity A.

3. Quantitative Comparison: A trapezoid has parallel sides of lengths 6 and 10 and height 5, and a parallelogram has base 8 and height 5; Quantity A is the area of the trapezoid, and Quantity B is the area of the parallelogram.
  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 trapezoid's area is (6 + 10) × 5 ÷ 2 = 40 and the parallelogram's area is 8 × 5 = 40.

4. Quantitative Comparison: x and y are positive real numbers and xy = 24; Quantity A is x + y, and Quantity B is 10.
  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

For x = y = sqrt(24), x + y is less than 10, while x = 4 and y = 6 makes it equal to 10 and x = 3 and y = 8 makes it greater.

5. Quantitative Comparison: Quantity A is the number of positive integers from 1 through 30 that are divisible by 4, and Quantity B is the number of positive integers from 1 through 30 that are divisible by 6.
  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

There are 7 multiples of 4 and 5 multiples of 6 in the stated range, so Quantity A is greater.
