GMAT Questions | Geometry & Solid Geometry

14 Questions in Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles, Surface Areas, and Volume of Solids

You may get three to five questions from Geometry and Solid Geometry in the GMAT quant section - in both variants viz., problem solving and data sufficiency. The concepts tested include lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, coordinate geometry, solid geometry, finding the area, perimeter of two dimensional geometric shapes and surface area, volume, longest diagnal of solids including cones, cylinders, cube, rectangular cube, sphere, and hemisphere.

Curated sample GMAT questions from these topics are presented here below. Attempt these questions and check if you have got the correct answer. One can use the explanatory answer or Video explanation made available (wherever provided) to help crack important GMAT quant questions.
