This is not a realistic question at all. Much too hard for the GRE even with answer choices. Without answer choices would never happen in a million years.

It's also ungrammatical vis-a-vis the placement of the word "respectively," which makes me doubly nervous. I would recommend you stop studying from any materials provided by this company immediately.

Also, I just looked this question up. It's a badly written GMAT question (not from the real test, but someone practicing or some bad company), and that means it would have answer choices.

Where did you see this question as a GRE numeric entry?
