SOLUTION

If d > 0 and 0 < 1 - c/d < 1, which of the following must be true?

I. c > 0
II. c/d < 1
III. c^2 + d^2 > 1

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and II only
(D) II and III only
(E) I, II and III

$$0<1-\frac{c}{d}<1$$ --> add $$-1$$ to all three parts of this inequality --> $$-1<-\frac{c}{d}<0$$ --> multiply by $$-1$$ and as multiplying by negative, flip signs --> $$1>\frac{c}{d}>0$$.

So we have that: $$1>\frac{c}{d}>0$$

I. $$c>0$$ --> as $$\frac{c}{d}>0$$ and $$d>0$$, then $$c>0$$. Always true.

II. $$\frac{c}{d}<1$$ --> directly given as true.

III. $$c^2 + d^2 > 1$$ --> if $$c=1$$ and $$d=2$$, then YES, but if $$c=0.1$$ and $$d=0.2$$, then No, hence this one is not always true.

Answer: C (I and II only).

If d > 0 and 0 < 1 - c/d < 1, which of the following must be true?

I. c > 0
II. c/d < 1
III. c^2 + d^2 > 1

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and II only
(D) II and III only
(E) I, II and III

Sol: Given d>0 and 0 < 1 - c/d < 1---------> Eq a

Subtract from Eq a we get -1<-c/d<0

Mulitply by each term by -1 we get 1>c/d>0

Since d>0 and c/d>0 this implies c>0

also we can clearly see c/d> 1. At this stage options A,B and D can be rejected

Consider c^2+d^2> 1

If c=3 and d=5 then c^2+d^2>1
But if c=1/2 and d=3/4 then we have 1/4+9/25 or (25+36)/100 or 61 /100 which is less than 1

Ans is C

0<1-c/d<1
1-c/d>0
-c/d>-1
c/d<1 ________________________- ii point is proved

1-c/d<1
-c/d<0
c/d>0 , d>0 given so c/d to be >0 , implies c>0 ______i point proved

0<c/d<1
c=1 d=2______________c^2+d^2 =5 wow
c=0.1 d=0.2__________c^2 + d^2 = 0.05 ohh no.

hence only 1 and 2 are correct....

0<1-c/d<1

0<d-c/d<1

0<d-c<d

Ie d is >d-c and both d and c are positive (if c is -ve then d-c cannot be <d) and d is>c.

c>0 proved above

c/d<1 a smaller postive number divided by a larger +ve no will result in a decimal-Possible

c^2+d^2>1 if c and d are decimals then this inequality is not true.

Only 1 and II are a 'must' case.
