Hello, I’ve posted a few times before and am trying to discern a way to save massive time without having to actually work out a problem. For example, with problems/questions on the General GRE exam with answer choice C. I was always told NOT to look outside of the problem. In other words, what is stated in the problem, that’s what is important not assumptions, quesses, inferences, etc.
This is particularly relevant in the verbal sections with RC.
However, can this be applied question with the option C? How do we know when to "choose values” to solve the question, if the information is not in the wording vs. when do we choose D?
Example: A, B, and C are three rectangles. The length and width
of rectangle A are 10 percent greater and 10 percent
less, respectively, than the length and width of
rectangle C. The length and width of rectangle B are
20 percent greater and 20 percent less, respectively,
than the length and width of rectangle C.
Quantity A The area of rectangle A. Quantity B: The area of rectangle B. there are 4 bubbles next to the two quantities. Since the question does not include side values, can we choose D or are we supposed to pick arbitrary numbers to determine which area is bigger out of the two?
