@Carcass - I beg to differ on the answer. Unless you give the units to the figures, the answer is not A. It may appear that way, but without giving the units, the answer is not a straightforward as A. GRE even cautions figures are not even drawn to scale unless specified.

Good question.

You'll find that the test-makers (ETS) often don't include units of measurement.

Here are some examples (of official GRE questions):
https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/qotd-10-t ... -2472.html
https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/in-the-xy ... -2192.html
https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/a-circle- ... -1890.html
https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/qotd-8-th ... -2473.html

In these instances, we can assume that we're using the same units throughout.
