The correct option is D aϕb□c
a×bθc is equivalent to a<b=c Hence between a and b we have a<b or a≠bora>b
Further b = c implies that b and c are interchageable
Hence (1),(2) and (3) are not possible.
[Observation that (2) states b<a which means a>b which is not possible Similary in (3) b>a which means a<b which contradicts the hypothesis] (4) Is the correct answer which states that a≠bandb>c Both statements are possible
