Question
A city in the India has a Football league with three Football teams, the Arsenals, the Braves and the Celtics. A sports writer notices that the tallest player of the Arsenals is shorter than the shortest player of the Braves. The shortest of the Celtics is shorter than the shortest of the Arsenals, while the tallest of the Braves is shorter than the tallest of the Celtics. The tallest of the Braves is taller than the tallest of the Arsenals. Which of the following can be judged with certainty ?X) Paul, a Brave is taller than David, an ArsenalY) David, a Celtic, is shorter than Edward, an ArsenalBoth X and YX onlyY onlyNeither X nor Y
Solution
The answer is "X only".
Here's the step-by-step reasoning:
-
The tallest player of the Arsenals is shorter than the shortest player of the Braves. This means that any player from the Braves, including Paul, is taller than any player from the Arsenals, including David. So, statement X is correct.
-
The shortest of the Celtics is shorter than the shortest of the Arsenals. This means that David, a Celtic, could be shorter than some players of the Arsenals. However, we don't have enough information to compare David with Edward, an Arsenal. So, statement Y cannot be judged with certainty.
Therefore, the answer is "X only".
