(03.05 MC)
An island has some portion submerged in water. Point X on the island is at negative 9 over 2 feet from the surface of the sea. Point Y on the island is at negative 4 over 3 feet from the surface of the sea. Because negative 4 over 3 feet > negative 9 over 2 feet, what is true about the distance of the two points from the surface of the sea?
A. Both points are 5 and 5 over 6 feet from the surface of the sea.
B. Both points are 3 and 1 over 6 feet from the surface of the sea.

Solution:
Option-A
- According to the question, both points cannot be 5 and 5 over 6 feet from the surface of the sea.
- None of the points is given to be 6 feet above the sea.

Option-B
- None of the points can be 6 feet above sea level.
- Hence, this statement is also false.
Option-C
- Point Y is given to be 3 feet above the surface of the sea which is greater than point x.
- Hence, this statement is false.
Option-D
- Point X is 2 feet above the sea level or the surface of the sea which is less than point Y.
- Therefore, this statement is true.
Hence, statement-D is the correct answer.
