Quantity A
Quantity B
a
b


A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


Since, the line is passing through origin, equation of the given line would be \(y = mx\)

Now,
x-coordinate = \(\frac{47}{99}\)
y-coordinate = \(\frac{47}{101}\)



i.e. \(x > y\)

Also, (a, b) lies on the same line - So \( a > b\)

Hence, option A

Sir, Is this work in other quadrants too?

No, the reverse will be true in III Quadrant

KarunMendiratta sir, What is the case, if the same line is drawn in II Quadrant?

Hello from the GRE Prep Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GRE Prep Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
