Question

Which of the following symbols should replace the question mark(?) in the given expression in order to make the expressions ‘H < R’ as well as ‘D ≥ M’ definitely true? D ≥ I ≥ H = S (?) M < P ≤ R

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given chain: $D \ge I \ge H = S \;(?)\; M < P \le R$.
2. Put option (e) "=" in place of (?), giving: $D \ge I \ge H = S = M < P \le R$.
3. From $H = M$ and $M < P \le R$ we get $H = M < R$, so $H < R$ is definitely true.
4. From $D \ge I \ge H = M$ we get $D \ge M$, so $D \ge M$ is definitely true.

Therefore the symbol that makes both statements definitely true is "=".
