Question

The Kingston Mall has more stores than the Galleria. The Four Corners Mall has fewer stores than the Galleria. The Kingston Mall has more stores than the Four Corners Mall. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is:

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Uncertain
• D. None of these

Hint:

In inequality-based reasoning, always align the comparisons with a common reference (here, Galleria) to derive the relationship between others.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Translate conditions.
- Kingston Mall (K) has more stores than Galleria (G) \(\Rightarrow K > G\).
- Four Corners Mall (F) has fewer stores than Galleria \(\Rightarrow F > G\). 

Step 2: Compare K and F.
Since \(K > G\) and \(F > G\), it follows directly that \(K > F\). 

Step 3: Check conclusion.
The third statement says: "The Kingston Mall has more stores than the Four Corners Mall." This is true. \[ \Rightarrow \boxed{\text{(a) True}} \]
