Mall size comparison logic: given 'Kingston has more stores than the Galleria' and 'Four Corners has fewer stores than the Galleria', evaluate 'Kingston has more stores than Four Corners'

Logical Reasoning Logical Problems Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
  • A
    True
  • B
    False
  • C
    Uncertain (store counts unknown)
  • D
    True only if Kingston > Galleria by 10+ stores
  • E
    False if Four Corners equals Kingston

Answer

Correct Answer: True

Explanation

Given data

  • K > G (Kingston > Galleria)
  • F < G (Four Corners < Galleria)

Concept/Approach (why this method)

Transitivity on inequalities: if K > G and G > F, then K > F.

Step-by-Step deduction1) From F < G, infer G > F.2) With K > G, chain to get K > F.

Verification/Alternative

Example counts (K=120, G=100, F=80) satisfy all statements and confirm the conclusion.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming we need exact store counts; ordinal relations suffice.
