If A = B > C = D and F < E = D < A, then which of the following options is NOT correct?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. A < D.
Given: A = B > C = D and F < E = D < A
After combining both statements:
F < E = D < A = B > C = D
Option 1: F < C ⇒ True (F < E = D = C ⇒ C > F)
Option 2: D > F ⇒ True (F < E = D ⇒ D > F)
Option 3: C = E ⇒ True (C = D, E = D ⇒ C = E)
Option 4: A < D ⇒ False (D < A; A = B > C = D ⇒ A > D)
All follow the this combined statement except option 4.
