Question 18

Which of the following is true?
a = 1
b = 10
a b<= a or a >= b
a>bor a == b
a band a == b

Answer 1

None of the given statements comparing variables a (1) and b (10) are true, as they all incorrectly describe the relation between a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires an evaluation of given numerical relations and determining the truthfulness of statements involving the variables a and b. Given that a = 1 and b = 10, we can compare these values to find out which of the provided statements are true.

b <= a is false, because b = 10 is not less than or equal to a = 1.

a >= b is false, because a = 1 is not greater than or equal to b = 10.

a > b is false, because a = 1 is not greater than b = 10.

a == b is false, the double equals sign represents equality, but a is not equal to b.

Therefore, based on the given values, none of the statements provided are true.

Answer 2

Considering a = 1 and b = 10, the true statement is the one that states a < b, because a is indeed less than b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question presents two variables, a and b, with an assigned the value of 1 and b assigned the value of 10. We are to determine which statement is true regarding the relationship between a and b. Given the values, the correct statement must acknowledge that a is less than b, which is represented as a < b.

Therefore, the true statement is the one that correctly states this relationship. Considering that a equals 1 and b equals 10, we can determine that:

• a < b (a is less than b)
• a != b (a is not equal to b)

By examining the options, we find that the statements proposing a > b (a is greater than b) or a == b (a is equal to b) are incorrect. The only possible true statement given the values would be the one where a < b.
