GRE Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8098
Question 1

Given that $r > s > 0$, compare the two quantities below.

Column A: $\dfrac{rs}{r}$

Column B: $\dfrac{rs}{s}$

  • Column A is greater
  • Column B is greater✔️
  • The two quantities are equal
  • The relationship cannot be determined from the information given
Correct Answer Explanation

Simplify each expression:

  • Column A: $\dfrac{rs}{r} = s$
  • Column B: $\dfrac{rs}{s} = r$

Since we are given $r > s > 0$, it follows that $r > s$.

Therefore Column B ($r$) is greater than Column A ($s$).
