. 30 Questions
Numbers: All numbcrsuscdarc real numbers.
FiSures: Position of points, angJes,regioos,etc. c:rn be assumedto bc in the order sbown; and angle measures
can be assurnedto bc positive,
Lincs showDas straight can bc assumcd to b€ straiglt.
Figures can be assumcdto lie in a plane unlcss otherwise indicatcd.
Figures tbat accompany qucstions are intcnded to provide informatioa uscfut in answcring the ques-
tions- Hoscver, unlessa notc atates that a figure is drawn to scete,you should solvc thesc-problims
NOT by cstimating sizesby sight or by mcasuremcnt, but by using your lnowlcdge of matlrcmatics (see
Examplc 2 bclow).

Directions: Each of thc QuesJignsl-15 consists of two quantities, onc-in Column A aqd oo. in Column B- you
are to compare thc two quantitiesand choosc
A if thc quantity ia Column A is greater;
B if thc quantity in Column B is greater;
C if thc two quantities are equal;
D if thc relationship cannot be derermined from the information girrcn.

Note: Sincethereareonly four choiccs,NEVER MARK (E).

Common
IIl6EIiion: In a question, information conccrning onc or both of the quantities to be compa.redis centered above
the two columns.A symbol that appearsin both columns representsthe samc thing in Column A as it
does in Column B.

Numbers: All numbcrs used arc real numben.

Figures: Position of pcints, angles,regions,etc. can bc assumedto be in tbe order shown; and angle lueasufes
can be assumcd to be positiw.
Lines shown as straight can be assumedto be straight.
Figures can be assumedto lie in a plate unlessotherwiscindicated.
Figurcs that accompany questionsarE intendedto providc information useful in answeringthc gues-
tions. However, unlessa note statesthat a figure is drawn to scale,you should solvetheseproblems
NOT by estimating sizesby sight or by measurement,but by using your knowledgeof mathematics(see
Example 2 below).

Directions: Each of thc Questions l-15 consistsof two quantities,one in Column A and one in Column B. You
ire to cornpare the two qGn-iiiiEiZilEoosc
