Is a>d?

a+b > c+d
b<c


a,d,b,c could be fraction intiger +ve or -ve or zero

from one it is obvious that a,d could be = <> ....insuff

b<c ie they may have same or differnet signs

both together subtract the two inequalities

a+b-b>c+d-c

a>d..suff

my answer is C

From 1) Need info about b and c INSUFF
From 2) No info about a or d INSUFF

Is a>d?

EXPLAIN


a+b > c+d------------(I)
b<c-------------------(II)

Invert sign of (II)

c > b ----------------(III)

Add (I) and (III)

a + b+ c > b+c+d

So a>d

Hence C

C is the answer..

u can write b 0

now substitute into

a + b > c + d

you will get a > d + x

since x > 0, a > d
