Are positive integers P and Q both greater than N?
(1) P-Q is greater than N
(2) Q>P
(1) P-Q is greater than N
(2) Q>P
Using Stmt 1)
P – Q > N….we can infer P > N, but we have no info on Q. Can Q be less than N ?
Ex
P Q N
5 1 2
5 3 1
Insuff.
Using Stmt 2)
Q>P
But does no provide any information on N.
Insuff
Together :
Q > P > N….. Suff.
takeaway:
you can ADD TWO INEQUALITIES TOGETHER if the inequalities are BOTH "<" OR BOTH ">".
