Answer:
The statement 'Derek is younger than frank' is false
Explanation:
Given:
Derek is older than Emily.
Frank is younger than Emily.
are both true statements
To Find:
Derek is younger than Frank is true or false
Solution:
If Derek(D) is older than Emily(E) then D>E
If Frank(F) is younger than Emily(E) then F<E
This creates a chain of D>E>F
As Derek is older than Emily this makes Frank younger than both Emily and Derek.
However, the statement mentions that Derek is younger than Frank but the equation proves that,
Derek is older than Frank.
This, concludes that statement three is False.
