If r > 0 and s > 0, is r/s < s/r?
1) r/3s = 1/4
2. s = r + 4
The OA is D. . What I don't get is why these 2 statements contradict each other. For example, I cross multiply statement #1 and get 4r = 3s. Therefore r = (3/4)s. So I choose a random number s = 4, then r = 3.
But plugging s = 4 and r = 3 into the second equation, it doesn't match. If r = 3 then s = 7 in the second equation.
How can both statements be sufficient yet contradict each other? Thanks.
