Question

If Pool < Pond, Pond < Bay and Bay > Canal, then which one of the following is always true?

• A. Pool > Canal
• B. Pool < Bay
• C. Pond = Canal
• D. Pond > Canal

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pool < Bay

Pool < Pond and Pond < Bay → Pool < Bay
Bay is larger than Pond, Pool and Canal and Pond is larger than Pool. But nothing else can be deducted from the given data. pond<Bay and Canal<Bay does not mean that pond=canal.
