Given that 100<x<199 and 10<y<100, we will have 1,000 < xy < 19,900. The maximum value of xy would be less than 19,900; thus, option E is incorrect.BTGmoderatorDC wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 7:05 pmIf 100<x<199 and 10<y<100, then the product xy CANNOT be equal to:

\(100 < x < 199\) and \(10 < y < 100\)
Since ALL \(+\)ve & same sign , directly multiply,
\(1000 < xy < 19900\)
The only product which does NOT lie between \(1000\) and \(19900\) is E (\(19,909\))
