Question

Consider the following statements:
1. Either A and B are of the same age or A is older than B
2. Either C and D are of the same age or D is older than C
3. B is older than C
Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the above statements?

Accepted Answer

To solve this, let us represent the statements as mathematical inequalities:

Statement 1: A is greater than or equal to B.
Statement 2: D is greater than or equal to C.
Statement 3: B is strictly greater than C.

Now, we combine Statement 1 and Statement 3:
If A is either older than B or the same age as B, and B is definitely older than C, then A must be older than C.

For example, if A and B are both 20, and C is 18, then A is older than C. If A is 22 and B is 20, then A is still older than C. In every possible scenario, A is older than C.

Conclusion D is correct because it is a logical certainty derived from the given information. Other options like A, B, or C are possibilities but are not necessarily true in every case.
