Question

Siya runs faster than Jiya. Lily runs faster than Siya. Jiya runs faster than lily. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is :

• A. true
• B. false
• C. both true and false
• D. uncertain

Answer 1

Answer:

B. false

Based on the given statements, the third statement is false.

1. Statement 1: "Siya runs faster than Jiya" $\rightarrow$ Siya > Jiya

2. Statement 2: "Lily runs faster than Siya" $\rightarrow$ Lily > Siya

Combining these two true statements, the actual speed order from fastest to slowest is:
\text{Lily} > \text{Siya} > \text{Jiya}

Therefore, Lily is the fastest and Jiya is the slowest. The third statement claims that "Jiya runs faster than Lily," which directly contradicts our established order.
