Robots X, Y, and Z

by ska7945 » Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:25 pm
Robots X, Y, and Z each assemble components at their respective constant rates. If rx is the ratio of robot X’s constant rate to robot Z’s constant rate and ry is the ratio of robot Y’s constant rate to robot Z’s constant rate, is robot Z’s constant rate the greatest of the three?
(1) rx < ry
(2) ry < 1

OK. I would have picked C if I knew a little more about the constant rates of X and Y. Why is E wrong?

Both a and b are not sufficient in themselves.

If ry < 1 then rate of z is greater than rate of y. From 1, we already know that rate of x is less than rate of y. So rate of x is less than rate of z too.

Ans C
