The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10, D is 3 less than A, B is the middle term. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D, G is greater than F.
Directions: Read the information given and answer the following questions.
The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10, D is 3 less than A, B is the middle term. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D, G is greater than F.A is as much greater than F as which integer is less than G?
1). A
2). B
3). C
4). D
This Question has 1 answers.
Alphabets: A, B, C, D, E, F and G
Numbers: 1 to 10
Condition:
1. They stand for 7 consecutive integers.
2. D is 3 less than A ⇒ A – D = 3 ⇒ A > D
3. B is the middle term.
4. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D ⇒ B – F = C – D ⇒ B > F and C > D
5. G is greater than F ⇒ G > F
Since we don’t know the first number for given consecutive number. So, we’ll arrange the alphabets using given order but wouldn’t assign numbers.
1) B is the middle term.
2) A – D = 3

A – F = G – x
⇒ 6 – 2 = 7 – x
⇒ x = 3rd = D.
