GRE Sample Test 1 Quantitative Reasoning 1

Question : 6 of 20

Marks: +1, -0

AB is parallel to CD.
AD is parallel to BC.
2AD = EG
Quantity A : The area of ABCD
Quantity B : The area of EFG

Quantity A is greater.
Quantity B is greater.
The two quantities are equal.
The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Solution:

Plug In numbers for the sides. Let AD = 4, so EG = 8. Let l = 3. The area of ABCD = 3 × 4 = 12, and the area of EFG =

1/2

(3 × 8) = 12.
The two quantities can be equal, so eliminate (A) and (B). Try changing your numbers, and you will see that the two quantities will always be equal.
