Set S = {2, 4, 6, 11} Set T = {50, 100, 200}

Qt A

Distinct no by multiplying S & T = 100 , 200 , 400 , 800 , 300 , 600 , 1200 , 550 , 1100 , 2200
Total = 10

Qt B
Distinct no by sum of S & T = 52 , 102 , 202 , 54 , 104 , 204 , 56 , 106 , 206 , 61 , 111 , 211
Total = 12

Qt B > Qt A

The approach above by rx10 is the fastest.

Here we do not have any shortcut. At least I do not see it.

If you take a look to the two quantities it is just a matter of multiplication and addition.

Sometimes we have a shortcut (usually) sometimes no, sometimes a question is just trial and error. It depends

Probably the way of NOT to solve a question on the GRE is never via brute force. You would spend tons of time
