GMAT GMAT SECTION 2: QUANTITATIVE Exam (page: 13)
GMAT Section 2: Quantitative
Updated on: 09-Feb-2026

If the volume of a cube is x3 cubic units, what is the number of square units in the surface area of the cube?

  1. x2
  2. x3
  3. x6
  4. 6x2
  5. 6x3

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

If the volume of the cube is x3, then one edge of the cube is x. The surface area of a cube is six times the area of one face, which is x times x. The total surface area is 6x2.



If x – 3 is a multiple of two, what is the next larger multiple of two?

  1. 2x
  2. x – 2
  3. x – 1
  4. x – 5
  5. x + 2

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The next larger multiple of two would be x – 3 + 2, which is x – 1. In this case, remember that any even number is a multiple of two and all evens are two numbers apart. If x – 3 is a multiple of two, you can assume that it is also an even number. This number plus two would also produce an even number.



If 3x + 1 = 81, then x – 1 =

  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. 9
  5. 27

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Solve for x first. Since 3x+1 = 81, and 81 is 34, make an easier equation just based on the exponents. This would be x + 1 = 4. x = 3. Therefore, x – 1 = 3 – 1 = 2.



For dinner at a restaurant, there are x choices of appetizers, y + 1 main courses, and z choices of dessert. How many total possible choices are there if you choose 1 appetizer, 1 main course, and 1 dessert for your meal?

  1. x + y + z + 1
  2. xyz + xz
  3. xy + z + 1
  4. xyz + 1
  5. xyz + 1/2

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Use the counting principle: Take the number of choices you have for each course and multiply them together to get the total possible combinations. x × (y + 1) × z. Use the distributive property to simplify to xyz + xz.



If x $ y is defined as 2(x + y) 2, then what is the value of 2 $ 3?

  1. 25
  2. 36
  3. 50
  4. 100
  5. 144

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

For this type of problem, substitute the values you are given for x and y. In this case, x = 2 and y = 3. The expression becomes 2 (2 + 3)2. Using the order of operations, perform the operation within the parentheses first and then the exponent. 2 (5)2 = 2 (25).Multiply to get 50.

admin guide (windows) respond to malicious causality chains. when the cortex xdr agent identifies a remote network connection that attempts to perform malicious activity—such as encrypting endpoint files—the agent can automatically block the ip address to close all existing communication and block new connections from this ip address to the endpoint. when cortex xdrblocks an ip address per endpoint, that address remains blocked throughout all agent profiles and policies, including any host-firewall policy rules. you can view the list of all blocked ip addresses per endpoint from the action center, as well as unblock them to re-enable communication as appropriate. this module is supported with cortex xdr agent 7.3.0 and later. select the action mode to take when the cortex xdr agent detects remote malicious causality chains: enabled (default)—terminate connection and block ip address of the remote connection. disabled—do not block remote ip addresses. to allow specific and known s
