Question

If U>T, R>Q, S>T and T>R, which of the following is TRUE?

1. S>Q
2. U > S
3.U > R​
A. 1 only
B. 2 only
C. 1 and 2
D. 2 and 3

Answer 1

C. 1 and 2

Step-by-step explantation:

First, i would order them as U>T, T>R, R>Q, S>T

we can rewrite them as

U>T>R>Q,

now adding S, we get U>S>T>R>Q,

so U>S

We can also rewrite all of them as inequalities:

U-T>0

T-R>0

R-Q>0

S-T>0

Add R-Q and T-R

(R-Q)+(T-R)>0

-Q+T>0

T>Q, but because S>T we can say S>Q
