If a > b and b > a. Then ?
Correct answer: C. Cannot be evaluated
- A. a = b
- B. a ≠ b
- C. Cannot be evaluated
- D. None
Explanation
The statements a > b and b > a cannot both be true for ordinary real numbers, because greater-than is asymmetric. The conditions are contradictory, so no valid relationship between a and b can be assigned under them. The likely mistake is choosing a = b, although equal numbers cannot satisfy a > b.

About Linear Equations
Linear equations contain variables only to the first power and produce straight-line relationships when represented graphically. Problems involve solving equations with brackets, fractions, and variables on both sides, forming equations from statements, and handling simultaneous linear equations, which differ from quadratic equations by having no squared variable.
