Basics (Functions)Easy
Passage / Data

Answer the next 2 questions based on the following information:

If
md(x) = x ,
mn(x,y) = minimum of x and y and
Ma(a,b,c,...) = maximum of a,b,c…

Value of Ma[md(a),mn(md(b),a),mn(ab,md(ac))] where a = -2, b = -3, c = 4 is

Answer & solution

  • A

    2

  • 6

  • C

    8

  • D

    -2

Solution

Ma[md(−2),mn(md(−3),−2),mn(6,md(−8))]

= Ma[2,mn(3,−2),mn(6,8)] = Ma[2, -2, 6] = 6.
