All three sections (Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry) are equally important Khushnud.

The principle sections on the GMAT are arithmetic and algebra, and most questions will be from these areas. This is due to the fact that this type of questions test your logic and problem-solving abilities without relying heavily on mathematical knowledge- the GMAT is trying to test your skills, not your math background. However, you’ll usually also encounter a few questions in geometry, probability, set theory, combinatorics, and various other small topics. Having a general knowledge of math will help here, but again, good thinking strategies will be more useful.
Also, the GMAT features special Data Sufficiency problems which may be odd to some people- you better look at this lesson to understand how these questions work.
Make sure you check out the Question Bank to find a lot of practice questions that will give you a sample of what to expect on the GMAT. Good luck.

the basis for good Quant score is … the grip we have in the basic mathematics. the more we can play around with with the basic formulas the better the score would be. its not just about knowing these formalas but using them at the right time. Especially when we are working on Data Sufficiency, we actually don’t need to solve the question … but still DS would be relatively tough compared to problem solving.
the best thing is to practice hundreds of questions. I used a book by name Quantitative abilities by R. S. Aggarwal. this is book on the higher side for GMAT but still it would give enough confidence to face GMAT Quant.
