✍️ Sample GMAT Questions & Answers
1. What is the area of a triangle with base 10 and height 6?
✓ 30
Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 10 × 6 = 30.
2. In a class of 40, 25 study French and 20 study Spanish. If 8 study both, how many study only French?
✓ 17
Only French = 25 − 8 = 17.
3. Set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and Set B = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. What is |A∪B| − |A∩B|?
✓ 4
A∩B = {3,4,5}, |A∩B| = 3. A∪B = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}, |A∪B| = 7. 7 − 3 = 4.
4. Using the same rental formula, the mileage giving an $80 total is:
✓ 200
30 + 0.25m = 80 gives 0.25m = 50, so m = 200.
5. If $5000 is invested at simple interest and grows to $5900 in 3 years, what is the annual interest rate?
✓ 6%
Interest is $900 over 3 years on $5000, so rate = 900/(5000×3) = 6%.
6. The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:2:3. What is the measure of the largest angle?
✓ 90°
The angles sum to 180°; with ratio 1:2:3 (6 total parts), each part = 30°, so the largest angle = 3 × 30° = 90°.
