Asked in Maths and Science Reasoning Mock

If u > t, r > q, s > t, and t > r, which of the following must be true?I. u > sII. s > qIII. u > r

Correct answer: E. II and III

  • A. I, II, and III
  • B. II only
  • C. III only
  • D. I and II
  • E. II and III

Explanation

The solution involves organizing the given inequalities to find the necessary logical relationships between variables:u > tr > qs > tt > rFrom these, we can deduce:t > r and r > q, which means t > q.s > t means s > q.u > t and t > r implies u > r.Thus, statements II (s > q) and III (u > r) are true. Statement I (u > s) cannot be confirmed because there is no information directly comparing u and s.Therefore, the correct answer is Option E: II and III.
