Answer to Problem 11WE
No conclusion can be drawn
Explanation of Solution
Given information: the following two statements are given:
Va is older than G
Da is older than G
Now Va is older than G and Da is older than G.
Case 1:
Let Va’s age be 10 years, G’s age be 8 years and Da’s age be 9 years.
In this case it can be observed that Va is older than G and Da is older than G such that Va is older than Da
Case 2:
Let Va’s age be 9 years, G’s age be 8 years and Da’s age be 10 years.
In this case it can be observed that Valerie is older than G and Da is older than G such that Da is older than Valerie.
From case 1 and case 2, it can be observed that either Va is older than Da or Dan is older than Valerie.
Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn.
