Question

Given that $:>$ denotes $+.$ $<$ denotes $-,+$ denotes $÷$, $-$ denotes =, = denotes 'less than' and $\times$ denotes 'greater than', find the correct statement.

• A. $3+2>4=9+3<1$
• B. $3>2>4=18+3<2$
• C. $3>2<4\times 8+4<2$
• D. $3+2<4\times 9+3<3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3>2<4\times 8+4<2$

Using proper notations, we have :
Given statement is $3÷2+4<9÷3-1$ or $\frac{11}{2}<2$, which is not true.

Given statement is $3+2+4<18÷3-2$ or $9<4,$ which is not true.

Given statement is $3+2-4>8÷4-2$ or $1>0,$ which is true.

Given statement is $3÷2-4>9÷3-3$ or $\frac{-5}{2}>0$, which is not true.
