Given Question:
Is the average of the largest and the smallest of four given numbers greater than the average of four numbers?
Statement Analysis:
Statement I:
- The difference between the largest and the second largest number is less than the difference between the second largest and the second smallest number.
Statement II:
- The difference between the largest and the second largest number is greater than the difference between the second smallest and the smallest number.
Statement III:
- The difference between the largest and the second smallest number is greater than the difference between the second largest and the smallest number.
Solution:
- From Statement I, we can infer the relative differences between the numbers but it does not provide enough information to determine if the average of the largest and the smallest numbers is greater than the average of all four numbers.
- From Statement II, we can compare the differences between specific pairs of numbers but it also does not give a conclusive answer to the original question.
- Combining Statement I and Statement II, we can see that the difference between the largest and the second largest number is less than the difference between the second largest and the second smallest number, and the difference between the largest and the second largest number is greater than the difference between the second smallest and the smallest number. However, this still does not provide enough information to answer the original question.
- Therefore, the correct answer is (C) I and either II or III as the data provided in the statements are not sufficient to answer the original question definitively.
