Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In a book club, members read different numbers of books. Member A read more books than B but fewer than C. D read fewer books than A but more than E. Who read the least? (2023)
Step 1: Identify the relationships between the members based on the information given.
Step 2: From the statement 'A read more books than B but fewer than C', we can write: B < A < C.
Step 3: From the statement 'D read fewer books than A but more than E', we can write: E < D < A.
Step 4: Now we combine the two sets of relationships: E < D < A < C and B < A.
Step 5: Since E is less than D, and D is less than A, we can conclude that E is the least.
Step 6: Therefore, the final order of members based on the number of books read is E < D < B < A < C.
