Geometry

This is a tough question but certainly GMAT relevant. It does need some ingenuity and we would expect something like this to show up when someone is sitting at Q50-51 score. Even then, getting this wrong should not pull down […]

Today, let’s take a look at a polygons question which tests our grasp of statistics too! This will be seen commonly in GMAT – a question testing multiple topics. That is why we do not suggest you to skip any […]

Let’s continue with geometry today. We would like to discuss how drawing extreme diagrams can help you solve questions. Most GMAT questions are quite intuitive and hence our non-traditional methods are perfect for them. They are not typical MATH problems […]

We will discuss how to use diagrams to solve DS questions today. The thought process used for a DS question is different from the thought process used for a PS question. To find whether a statement is sufficient to answer […]

Considering a two-dimensional figure, a tangent is a line that touches a curve at a single point. Here are some examples of tangents: In each of these cases, the line touches the curve at a single point. In the case […]

A question brought an interesting situation to our notice. Let’s start by asking a question: How do we write the equation of a line? There are two formulas: (where is the slope and is the -intercept) and [where is the […]

How do we find the two farthest points on a 3D object? For example, we know that on a circle, any two points that are diametrically opposite will be the farthest from each other than from any other points on […]

Sometimes, we come across GMAT geometry questions that involve figures inscribed inside other figures. One shape inside of another shape may not be difficult to work with, but how do we handle problems that involve infinite figures inscribed inside one […]

If you have run through the Co-ordinate Geometry module, then you must check out this question. It may be beyond GMAT level but it tests the GMAT relevant concepts in a most innovative way. Question: Triangles and have areas 2007 […]

The concepts of direct, inverse and joint variation are commonly discussed but linear relation is not discussed often. Today, we will discuss what we mean by “linearly related”. A linear relation is one which, when plotted on a graph, is […]
