Question: 59

y = an odd integer
Column AColumn B
The numerical value of y2The numerical value of y3
  • A. if the quantity in Column A is greater
  • B. if the quantity in Column B is greater
  • C. if the quantities are equal
  • D. if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The correct answer is (D). There is not enough information, as y could equal 1, which would make both quantities equal; or y could be greater than 1, which would make y3 greater than y2. If y were a negative integer, then y2 would be greater that y3.
