A city in the U S has a basketball league with three basketball teams, the Arêtes, the Braves and the Deities. A sports writer notices that the tallest player of the Arêtes is Shortest than the shortest player of the Braves. The shortest of the Deities is shortest of the Arêtes, while the tallest of the braves is taller than the tallest of the Arêtes. Which of the following can be judged with certainty?
X) Paul, a brave is taller than David, an Arêtes.
Y) David, a Deities, is shorter than Edward, an Arêtes.
a) X only
b) Both X and Y
c) Neither X and Y
d) Y only

• its clearly written that the tallest player of the Arêtes is Shortest than the shortest player of the Braves.
  => all players of braves are taller than all players of Arates.
  => X is true
  => ans = (a)

• the ans is A)the x only
  
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
• all arates are shorter than braves
  hence all brave taller than arates
  so X)is certainly true
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
• its a)X only
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
• let T(A) represent Taller of Arates
  then
  
  acc to problem
  
  T(A) < S(B)
  S(D) < S(A)
  T(B) > T(A)
  
  however the 3rd eqn is redundandant bcoz it is a part of eqn 1 itself hence the ans is x only
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
• neither x nor y
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(8)
• ans-b
  Ds
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
• ATBS>AT>AS>DS but here nothing can be said for tallest of d as it can be come before AS
  thus only a) is true...
