if a,b,c, and d are positive integers, is (a/b) *(c/d) > c/b?
1- c>b
2- a>d
A-if 1 alone is sufficient
B-if 2 alone is sufficient
C- etc...
Can you please explain your reasoning?
Thanks

(a/b) *(c/d) > c/b
i:e ac/bd > c/b
as a b c d are +ve integers they are not equal to zero.
we can cancel c/b from both the sides.
which leaves us with finding out if a/d>1
in stmt 2, a>d , so 2 alone is suff.
stmt 1 doesnt give any info
