Each of the questions in this section consist of two quantities, one in Column A and one in Column B. You are to compare the two quantities and choose the correct answer A if the quantity in A is greater; B if the quantity in B is greater; C if the two quantities are equal; D if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given. :RA Notes: 1. In certain questions, information concerning one or both of the quantities to be compared is centered. 2. In a given question, a symbol that appears in both columns represents the same thing in Column A as it does in Column B. 3. Letters such as k, n, and a stand for real numbers. :RA :Q COLUMN A COLUMN B 1. 1/y > 0 y -1 :RCA :Q COLUMN A COLUMN B 1 1 - 1 1 2. - / 1 - x - y - y y y :RCC :Q COLUMN A COLUMN B 0.17 3. 0.85 ---- 2 :RCA :Q COLUMN A COLUMN B 4. 2 > a > -2 1 > b > -2 a b :RCD :Q COLUMN A COLUMN B _ 5.
