Question

Assume x is 3, y is 7.1, and z is '11.5'. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

a. x + y > z
b. x + z < y
c. y - z < x
d. x . y = z

Answer 1

The incorrect statement is b. x + z < y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's evaluate each statement using the given values:

a. x + y > z

Substituting the values of x, y, and z, we get 3 + 7.1 > 11.5, which is true.

b. x + z < y

Substituting the values of x, y, and z, we get 3 + 11.5 < 7.1, which is false.

c. y - z < x

Substituting the values of x, y, and z, we get 7.1 - 11.5 < 3, which is false.

d. x . y = z

Substituting the values of x, y, and z, we get 3 . 7.1 = 11.5, which is false.

Therefore, the incorrect statement is b. x + z < y.
