CAT 1994 | Question: 63

Question

If md(x) = |x|, 

mn(x, y) = minimum of x and y, and

ma(a, b, c,) = maximum of a, b, c

The value of ma[md(a), mn(md(b), a), mn(ab, md(ac))] where a = -2, b = -3, c = 4 is:

• A. 2
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. -2

Answer 1

$ma[md(a), mn(md(b), a), mn(ab, md(ac))] $ where $a = -2, b = -3, c = 4 $

      $ma[|-2|, mn(|-3|, -2), mn(6, |-8|)] $

      $ma[2, mn(3, -2), mn(6, 8)] $

      $ma[2, -2,6] $

      $Maximum$  $value = 6$
