If x, y, and z are positive numbers, is x > y > z ?
(1) xz > yz
(2) yx > yz
Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
题目分析:
(1) 条件1中,因为z为正数,不等式两边同时除以z,不等号方向不变,即得到x>y,不能得到x > y > z。
(2) 条件2中,因为y为正数,不等式两边同时除以y,不等号方向不变,即得到x>z,不能得到x > y > z。
结合条件1和条件2,得到x>y和x>z,不能确定y和z的大小关系。
因此,本题答案为(E),两个条件结合起来也不能解题,必须提供新数据。
