This is a GRE Quantitative Comparison question, posted on a wrong forum. Anyways, the positive square root of 36 + 49 is greater than +7, but the negative square root is less.Pinku wrote:Col A : +7
Col B : Square root (36+49)
a)The quantity on the left is greater
b)The quantity on the right is greater
c)Both are equal
d)The relationship cannot be determined without further information
Although, we are recommended to consider only the positive square root of a positive number x, in case it is emblematically written as √x, but when the same is written in words, like "Square root (36+49)" as presented by you in the column B, it creates doubt; hence make sure what prevented you use "√" in column B, is it the unavailability of it on the qwerty keys, or it was originally given like that. B is the answer in the former case, and D in the later case.
