sum two inequalities and you'll get that z>0, then from the first premise you understand that since m>3z, then m is also >0 and the sum of m and z is positive
Is m+z>0?
(1) m-3z>0
(2) 4z-m>0
sum two inequalities and you'll get that z>0, then from the first premise you understand that since m>3z, then m is also >0 and the sum of m and z is positive
Another way to solve the problem could be
using a) we get z < m/3 not sufficiet to answer the question
using b) we get z > m/4 not sufficient to answer the question
using both m/4 < z < m/3. if m is -ve then this relationship should cannot hold therefore m > 0 & so is z . therefore m + z > 0.
Hence c .
