Solution 1

The thinnest book is D.

Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

  1. A is thicker than C, so C is thinner than A.
  2. B is thicker than D, so D is thinner than B.
  3. E is thinner than B but thicker than C, so it can't be the thinnest.
  4. D is thinner than C, so D is the thinnest book.

Solution 2

Para resolver esta pregunta, sigamos los pasos uno por uno:

  1. A es más grueso que C.

    • A > C
  2. B es más grueso que D.

    • B > D
  3. E es más delgado que B, pero más grueso que C.

    • B > E > C
  4. D es más delgado que C.

    • C > D

Ahora, combinemos todas las relaciones:

  • A > C
  • B > D
  • B > E > C
  • C > D

Podemos ordenar los libros de más grueso a más delgado:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. E
  4. C
  5. D

Por lo tanto, el libro más delgado es D.
