Among the five numbers W, Y, C, D, M. W is greater than C but less than M, whereas, Y is greater than D but not less than M. Which of the following can be the greatest of the five?

Accepted Answer

D. Given: $M > W > C$ $Y > D$ and $Y \ge M$ Combining these gives $Y \ge M > W > C$ and $Y > D$. Thus, either $Y$ or $M$ (when $Y=M$) can be the greatest.
