Since the problem is constrained to POSITIVE VALUES, simplify (a/b)(c/d) > c/b:M7MBA wrote:If a,b,c and d are positive integers, is (a/b)(c/d) > c/b?
(1) c>b
(2) a>d
(a/b)(c/d) > c/b
(a/d)(c/b) > c/b
a/d > 1
a > d.
Question stem, rephrased:
Is a > d?
Statement 1:
No information about a or d.
INSUFFICIENT.
Statement 2:
SUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is B.
