GMAT Section 2: Quantitative
Updated on: 24-Mar-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.

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.

password lockout being the correct answer for question 37 does not make sense. it should be geofencing.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
