Can I know what is counter example method?
Hi Sachin, counter example method is nothing but finding ways to negate the options. Here, by assuming appropriate values for x and y, we can negate the options.
if we put x=3 and y=-2 then -3<-4 which ruled option b so why option b is true please clear my doubt
Hi, y>-1. Hence, we cannot assume that y=-2.
