Logic consistency check on comparative ages: given 'Tanya is older than Eric' and 'Cliff is older than Tanya', evaluate the truth of 'Eric is older than Cliff'

Given data

• T > E (Tanya older than Eric)
• C > T (Cliff older than Tanya)

Concept/Approach (why this method)

Use transitivity of the 'older than' relation: if C > T and T > E then C > E.

Step-by-Step deduction1) From C > T and T > E, conclude C > E.2) Statement to test says E > C, which directly contradicts C > E.

Verification/Alternative

No equalities allowed by 'older than'; contradiction is decisive.

Common pitfalls

• Reversing the order or assuming non-transitive relations.
