• C. $5\times 2<1-3<4\times 1$
• D. $5<2\times 1÷3>4\times 1$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $5>2\times 1-3>4<1$

Option (1) 5+2×1=3+4>15+2×1=3+4>1
5÷2+1<3÷4>15÷2+1<3÷4>1
52+1<34×152+1<34×1
5+22<345+22<34
72<3472<34 (this is wrong)
option (2) 5>2×1−3>4<15>2×1−3>4<1
5×2+1=3×4−15×2+1=3×4−1
11=1111=11 (correct)
