GMAT Practice Questions
Quantitative Reasoning
Problem Solving & Data Sufficiency
Sample Question:
If x and y are positive integers such that x² - y² = 21, what is the value of x + y?
View Solution
Since x² - y² = (x+y)(x-y) = 21, and x,y are positive integers with x > y, the factors of 21 are: 1×21, 3×7. Testing these: If x-y=1 and x+y=21, then x=11, y=10. If x-y=3 and x+y=7, then x=5, y=2. Both work, but the question asks for x+y, which could be either 21 or 7.
Verbal Reasoning
Reading Comprehension & Critical Reasoning

GRE Practice Questions
Quantitative Reasoning
Comparison & Problem Solving
Quantitative Comparison:
Column A: The average of 5 consecutive odd integers
Column B: The median of the same 5 integers
View Solution
For any set of consecutive odd integers, the average equals the median. Therefore, Column A = Column B. The answer is C (the two quantities are equal).
Verbal Reasoning
Text Completion & Sentence Equivalence
Text Completion:
Despite the professor's _____ explanation, many students found the concept _____ to grasp.
A) lucid ... difficult
B) verbose ... easy
C) terse ... simple
