Example Question #2 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (A), (B), and (C) and find the best answer.
(A)
(B) 
(C)
(C) is greater than (A) and less than (B)
(A), (B), and (C) are equal.
(A) and (C) are equal and are greater than (B)
(B) is less than (A), which is less than (C).
(A), (B), and (C) are equal.
All of these choices are equal.
Example Question #3 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (a), (b), and (c) and find the best answer.
a) the square root of
b) 
c) the average of 
a) The square root of 
b) 
c) The average of 
Therefore (b) and (c) are equal, and they are both smaller than (a).
Example Question #4 : How To Make Non Geometric Comparisons
Examine (a), (b), and (c) and find the best answer.
a) 
b) 
c) 
a) 
b) 
c) 
Therefore (b) is smaller than (a) which is smaller than (c).
Example Question #4 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (a), (b), and (c) and find the best answer.
a)
b)
c)
a) 
b) 
c) 
Therefore (a) is larger than (b) which is larger than (c).
Example Question #5 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (a), (b), and (c) and find the best answer.
a)
b)
c)
a)
b)
c)
Therefore (a) and (b) are equal, and they are larger than (c).
Example Question #6 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (a), (b), and (c) and find the best answer.
a)
b)
c)
This question tests your understanding of the order of operations. First complete operations in parentheses, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.
a)
b) 
c) 
Therefore (a) is smaller than (c) which is smaller than (b).
Example Question #7 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (a), (b), and (c) and find the best answer.
a)
b) 
c)
a) 
b) 
c)
Therefore (a) and (c) are the same, and they are both larger than (b).
Example Question #8 : Non Geometric Comparison

a) 
b) 
c) 
a) 
b) 
c) 
Therefore (a), (b), and (c) are all equal.
Example Question #9 : Non Geometric Comparison
Examine (a), (b), and (c) to find the best answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
(b) is the greatest, and (a) and (c) are equal
(c) is greater than (b) or (a)
(b) is greater than (a) or (c)
(a), (b), and (c) are all equal
(a), (b), and (c) are all equal
In each of these scenarios, if the percentage increases, the number decreases by the same factor. All cases are the same value:
a) 
b) 
c)
