Hi, Problem 16, question is incomplete, only qty A and B are provided, but the answer on page 16 indicates choice (C) as the answer, how do I interpret what (C) means??, this is a similar issue with problems 16, 17 and 18. Am i missing ony any instructions??

PS: Same issue with problem 11,12 and 13 on page 51.

Thanks,
Meg

Hey Meg,

These are quantitative comparison questions. You should look to the beginning of the book for an explanation of how they work. In short:

Answer Choice A means A is always bigger than B

Answer Choice B means B is always bigger than A

Answer Choice C means the two columns are always equal

Answer Choice D means the relationship cannot be determined (e.g. sometimes A is bigger than B, whereas other times B is bigger than A, or sometimes the two are equal)

Let me know if you have further questions!
