Hi,

The following question appears in the math section of a 'retired' GRE
General Test.  My claim is that the official answer is incorrect.  Can
someone provide feedback?

It is given that y = x + (1/x) and 0 < x < 10.  Is it true that (A) y >
100, (B) y < 100, (C) y = 100, or (D) there is not enough information
to answer this question?

My contention is that (B) is true while ETS contends that (D) is the
case.

Thanks.

Peter


Have you copied the question precisely (i.e., verbatim) as
stated by the ETS source, or have you paraphrased any of it?

It appears that the discussion tends towards (D) as the correct
answer, but the dissension about wording suggests that your
wording may be slightly different from that given in the test.
