    The last one didn't mention negative integers either, so the ans can still be "quantity a is larger" right?

  • @harshlakhani4171
    @harshlakhani4171 3 года назад +1

    For the first question, when the question says X and Y are integers between 0 and 5, does it include the integers 0 and 5?
    I have the same doubt about several other questions. Sometimes the question mentions that it is inclusive, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't mention it just like Question 1 in this video, what are we meant to assume? (In the video, I believe you said we could pick the number as 5 even though it doesn't mention inclusive)

    • @TheTestedTutor
      @TheTestedTutor  3 года назад +1

      Normally it would be written as 0 < x < 5 like that. I didn't need to pick 5, any 2 numbers in that set would have made the same point.
