Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside. In which of the following expressions 'W > Z' as well as ' Y > Z' hold definitely true?
Options
- AW > X > U = Z < H ≤ Y
- BW ≥ X = U > Z ≤ H < Y
- CW = X > U ≥ Z < H < Y
- DAll of the above
Correct answer
D. All of the above
Step-by-step solution
In order to ensure the statement that holds ' W > Z' and ' Y > Z' definitely true, we have to check all the options one by one. For option A: W > X > U = Z < H ≤ Y Here, the common sign between W and Z is '>', thus it follows W > Z. The common sign between Z and Y is also '<' , thus it follows Z < Y or Y > Z. For option B: W ≥ X = U > Z ≤ H < Y Here also, the common sign between W and Z is '>', thus it follows W > Z. The common sign between Z and Y is also '<'
