Let p =2,r=-1, s=0, q=2
2>-1, 3>-1
2+3= 5>-1.. TRUE

Let p = -30, q= -10, r = -20, s= -20
-30>-20-20
-10>-20-20
-30-10>-20-20.. False

r+s=-1 and p+q=-1

p+q>2(r+s)

But p+q=r+s

Whenever you see an answer coming without use of pen using both the options , Be suspicious and do a recheck. This is called C trap.
