D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


In QRS,
\(QS = RS = 8\)
\(QR = 8\sqrt{2}\)

I have no clue that why we have been given 2 different pentagons?

Col. A: \(8\sqrt{2}\)
Col. B: \(y\)

Straight answer D!

This question is purely ambiguous or may be some part of information is missing. What is the reason of giving two polygon without giving any relation between them. Carcass sir, would you mind to check the question again! In real test, this type of QUESTION is not expected!!

Hi Sir

The question per see is correct.

Think that these kinds of questions are NOT official. From MGRE to other sources: please specify....there will be always some drawbacks.

For every exam is the same: LSAT,GMAT

Here on the board, we do have over 10,000 quant questions. A pletora. I would simply skip it and move on. it will not impact your score if this is your concern.

Also, take a look at the 100 hardest QCQ question here, maybe it will help you to pick some good question

Thank you sir :)

I replied to you in this fashion because it misses something but this will be with all such questions that are NOT official.

Or they miss something, or out of scope, or too tough, or misleading or too easy or blah blah blah
