A city in the US has a basketball league with three basketball teams, the Aziecs, the Braves and the Celtics. A sports writer notices that the tallest player of the Aziecs is shorter than the shortest player of the Braves. The shortest of the Celtics is shorter than the shortest of the Aziecs, while the tallest of the Braves is shorter than the tallest of the Celtics. The tallest of the Braves is taller than the tallest of the Aziecs.Which of the following can be judged with certainty ?X) Paul, a Brave is taller than David, an AziecY) David, a Celtic, is shorter than Edward, an Aziec

Both X and Y

X only

Y only

Neither X nor Y

Explanation:

We solve this problem by taking numbers. Let the shortest of Braves is 4 feet. Then tallest of Aziecs is less than 4. So let it be 3 feet.

A -> 2 - 3

B -> 4 - 6

C -> 1 - 7

From the above we can safely conclude X is correct. but Y cannot be determined.
