Moreover, inequality questions disregarding square are always given on GMAT. Look at the question below.

(ex 5) Is x^3y^2z>0?

1) xz>0
2) x^2y>0

As disregarding square, if xy is not 0, the question becomes is xz>0?.
1) xz>0 and 2) y>0, which makes C the answer.

Questions related to geometry are continuously increasing. Let’s have a look at the example of the recent trend.

(ex 4)
Attachment:
GEOMETRY.jpg
If n regular pentagons are tangent each other in points of a circle as above figure, n=?

A. 8
B. 9
C. 10
D. 11
E. 12

Answer: C

Questions like the above are increasing. Therefore, students preparing for GMAT should focus on geometry more intensively.

Can someone explain how option C is correct here

Also, geometry questions are rising continuously. Let's take the recent question as an example.

(ex 4)
Attachment:
yin yang.jpg

There is a yin-yang symbol shown as above figure such that its radius is 2. What is the area of the region shaded?
1) Both arc MNO and arc OCD are the same semi-circles.
2) The area of region shaded is half of the area of the circle

Answer: B

In this case, 1) and 2) are the same, which makes D the answer. Just like the question above, slightly difficult and deriving 1)=2) questions which make D the answer are frequently given as well. This type of geometry questions are steadily on an upward tendency.

Does the answer to this question B or D?

If D please explain option A

Hi,

The math research institute of Max lee has been continuously surveyed our student after an exam about type of questions, chapter, etc.
Based on the survey, we try to figure out what is the recent type of question.
Also, in order to find out types of GMAT Math questions, we search related websites of other countries, which enables us to come up with recent type of question.

Plus, geometry questions are continuously increasing. Let's have a look at the recent question.

triangle.jpg
triangle.jpg [ 9.33 KiB | Viewed 13046 times ]
If BC=a, AB=x, AC=y, and AD=h, is ∠BAC=90o?

1) xy=ah
2) ∠C=30

Answer: A

In this case, Modify the original condition and the question.
In order to satisfy ∠BAC=90. AB should be a base line and AC be a height, at the same time, BC should be a base line and AD should be a height as well.
Then, the areas of the triangles should be the same, which is (1/2)xy=(1/2)ah? -> xy=ah?.
Hence, the answer is A.

Plus, geometry questions are consistently increasing.
For instance,
Attachment:

attachment.jpg [ 15.62 KiB | Viewed 12956 times ]
A certain rectangle has L and W shown as above figure such that L=2W. If the region has uniformly width d, the area of the region shaded is what percent of the area of the entire region?

1) w=3d
2) w=360

Answer: A

In this case, when one con is ratio and the other con is number, ratio is an answer.
For 1), w=3d is ratio, which is sufficient.
Hence, the answer is A.

It is extremely rare that GMAT compulsorily ask permutation questions and you don't have to study permutation separately.
All you need to do is to memorise the fomula of nPr as nPr is part of nCr.
Thank you.

Geometry questions frequently appear in the test. If I were to give an example of a question that resembles the current trend:

If O is a center of a circle as above figure, what is the area of the region shaded?
1) ∠AOB=30o.
2) The length of arc CA is π.
Answer: C

There are 2 variables (radius and degree AOB) in the original condition. Hence the correct answer is C.

Questions involving probability and integers frequently appear as well.

(ex 6) If 5 integers are selected randomly from all the integers between 11 and 30 inclusive, what is the probability that the 5 numbers selected must contain 11 and 13?
A. 1/10 B. 3/19 C. 1/17 D. 1/19 E. 1/18
Answer: D

18C3/20C5=1/19. Hence, the correct answer is D.

A. 12 B. 18 C. 24 D. 28 E. 30
Answer: A
As adjacent regions are painted by different colors, we get 3*2*1*2=12.

A. 1/4 B. 2/5 C. 7/16 D. 9/16 E. 11/16
Answer: C

From above question, [(40^2)π-(30^2π)]/402π=7/16. The answer is C.

This is a probability question.
Each digit of 3-digit codes are formed from 0, 2, 4, 5, and 6. Each digit of the codes cannot be repeated. If the codes are divisible by 5, how many possible codes are there?
A. 9 B. 12 C. 20 D. 21 E. 24
Answer: D

Since the codes need to be divided by 5, the units digit cannot be 0. Then we got 3*3=9. If the units digit is 0, we get 4*3=12. Then, 9+12=21. The answer is D.
