Question

if ((a> b) & (a> c)), then which of the statement is true?
a) b is the smallest number b) b is the greatest number
c) a is the greatest number d) all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

c) a is the greatest number

Explanation:

given a > b =====> a greater than b

also, a > c ======> a greater than c

so a is greater than both b and c so, a will be the greatest

why not?

a) b is the smallest number ?

because it is not given that b is smaller than c or (not given c > b) so we can't say that

b) b is the greatest number ?

because a is already proved to be greatest isn't it? in the first portion...?

d) all of the above ?

well, can there be a number both greatest and smallest??
