##### Quantitative Comparison

জিআরই পরীক্ষার ম্যাথ বা কুয়ান্টিটেটিভ অংশে বিশেষ এক ধরণের প্রশ্ন আসে যেখানে কোন একটি তথ্য দেওয়া হতে পারে, তার নীচে Quantity A ও Quantity B দুটি কলাম দিয়ে তাদের নীচে দুটি আলাদা রাশি দেওয়া হবে। প্রদত্ত তথ্য থেকে কোন কলামের রাশি বৃহত্তর তা বের করতে হবে। এক্ষেত্রে:

যদি A কলাম বড় হয় তাহলে উত্তর A
যদি B কলাম বড় হয় তাহলে উত্তর B
যদি উভয় কলাম সমান হয় তাহলে উত্তর C
যদি প্রদত্ত তথ্য থেকে কোন সিদ্ধান্তে আসা সম্ভব না হয় তাহলে উত্তর D
