Answer 2

Which of  the following statement is true...

1. Half of hundred is 50 and so 50 people picked literature
2. number of people who picked sociology=x
3. x>25
4. y = number of people who picked Journalism.
5. y>=1
6. a) is True as x can 40 as long as it is nit 49 (because greater than that y will become <1)
7. b)True as it satisfies both the inequalities.
8. True as it says atleast and so y can be 1
9. False, this is because even if we take the maximum value of y and minimum value of x; which is 24 and 26 respectively, 24<26 and hence this is not true
