If both algorithms indexed a positive number of pages per hour, was the number of pages indexed per hour by G-Cache greater than three times the number of pages indexed by HTML-Compress?

[1] On a per-hour basis in 2003, G-Cache indexed 1 million more pages than HTML-Compress indexed.

[2] HTML-Compress can index between 400,000 and 1.4 million pages per hour.

prompt asks : Is G >3H

st 1 : G = H +1 ( in millions)

St 2 :

0.4<=H<=1.4

No data about G

Combining:

Case 1 : H = 0.4
then G = 1.4, yes its three times greater than H
case 2 : H =1.4
G = 2.4
Here No, G is not 3 times greater than H.

Inconsistent. Insufficient

Pick E
