Instructions: This section tests your ability to answer Problem Solving questions in the Quantitative part of the GRE. You are given a problem statement and some information relating to the context in which the problem is set. You should consider the numbers used in these problems to be real numbers, unless otherwise stated. All geometrical figures in this lab should be taken to be on a plane. You should take no more than 2 minutes per question. | If , which of the following options is true? | | 0 | Opción múltiple | |

| A | | A) |
This is the correct option. For the inequality to hold, either the denominator or the numerator must be negative, but not both. |
B) |
If both the denominator and numerator are negative, the fraction is positive and the inequality does not hold. This option is incorrect. |
C) |
If ,the numerator is 0 and the strict inequality does not hold. This option is incorrect. |
D) |
That is true does not make the inequality hold. We need to know if the denominator is positive or negative. We cannot answer the question. This option is incorrect. |
E) |
That <0 is true does not make the inequality hold. We need to know if the numerator is positive or negative. We cannot answer the question. This option is incorrect. |

The shortest distance from a chord to the center of a circle forms a angle with the chord. Taking this line segment from the center to the chord, whose length we do not know, half the chord’s length and the point where the chord meets the circumference, we have a right-angled triangle. This triangle measures where is half the chord’s length. The ratio, for a right-angled triangle, is one of the Pythagorean triplets (i.e. 5:12:13). Using this information we know the total length of the chord is 24 feet.
Alternatively, the length of half the chord may be calculated using and solving for . This option is incorrect.

This section tests your ability to answer Quantitative Comparison questions in the Quantitative part of the GRE. You are given a problem statement and some information relating to the context in which the problem is set. You will be given two quantities, one in column A and the other in column B. You are to consider the relative amounts the two quantities represent given the problem, and choose one of the provided answer choices. The answer choices in this section are:
A, if the quantity in column A is greater than the one in column B.
B, if the quantity in column B is the greater one.
C, if both quantities are equal.
D, is the information provided in the problem statement and in the columns is not sufficient to determine the relation between the quantities.
You should consider the numbers used in these problems to be real numbers, unless otherwise stated. All geometrical figures, i.e. triangles, in this lab should be considered to lie in a plane. You should never select E as the answer choice as only options A-D are valid in this section of the GRE. You should take no more than 2 minutes per question.
