    If P, Q, R are any real numbers, then

    A) \[\max (p,q)<\max (p,q,r)\]

    B) \[\min (p,q)=\frac{1}{2}(p+q-\left| p-q \right|)\]

    C) \[\max (p,q)<\min (p,q,r)\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    if \[p=5,q=3,r=2\]
    \[\max (p,q)=5;\,\,\,\,\,\max (p,q,r)=5\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\max (p,q)=\,\,\,max(p,q,r)\]
    \[\therefore \] [a] is not true. Similarly we can show that [c] is not true.
    Also \[\min (p,q)=\frac{1}{2}(p+q-\left| p-q \right|)\,\]
    Let \[q<p\]then \[LHS=p\]
    and \[R.H.S=\frac{1}{2}(p+q-q+p)=p\]
    Similarly, we can prove that [b] is true for \[q>p\]too.
