On the number line, the distance between x and y is greater than the distance between x and z. Does z lie between x and y on the number line?
(1) xyz < 0
(2) xy < 0
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.
(1),xyz的情况要么是正正负,要么是负负负;不充分
(2),xy一正一负,不充分
(1)+(2),z为正数,xy一正一负,但谁正谁负不清楚,不充分
【错误的原因:注意x,y谁大谁小也不知道】
关键信息是z和y之间的距离
本题根据the distance between x and y is greater than the distance between x and z可以画出4组数轴,其中2组满足z在x,y之间;(1),x,y,z 为1负或3负,4种数轴都可以符合,无法确定;(2)x,y一正一负,4种数轴都可以符合,无法确定;二者的交集是3种数轴组合,对应z的2种结果,无法确定。
(1),xyz的情况要么是正正负,要么是负负负;不充分
(2),xy一正一负,不充分
(1)+(2),z为正数,xy一正一负,但谁正谁负不清楚,不充分
情况一:因为x>0,z>0,所以z可以在x的右边,y----0--------x----z
情况二:x----0---z-----y
所以1+2不充分
