Question

If 0 < pt <1, and p is a negative integer, which of the following must be less than -1?

A) p
B) p - t
C) t + p
D) 2t
E) t x 1/2

Answer 1

since p is negative, and p*t is positive, we know that t must be negative too.

Answer 2

also, p is a negative integer, so we know that |t|<1, or:
-1<t<0

Should be C
