C is answer here....

Combining both condition and plugging in value , we can conclude this.

Let range be 'r' cm for A and 's' being range of B.
And highest term of A is 'g' cm ; highest term of B is 'h" cm.

let lowest term of A is 'y' and lowest term of B is 'x'.

So, from 1: r<s>(g-x)
from 2 : g>h .

Now pluging in values we can conclude to get ans yes or no.

But i took almost more than 2 min. to get this...by looking at the first instance.I am just trying to condition myself to test timing....eventhough anybody can get this but might take more time.So,any quicker method !!

interesting attempt with plugging values. I kind of visualized it on paper to help me get it. But it is tough when under stress.
