Consider five variables M, N, O, P, and Q satisfying the following inequalities: M > N, P > O, N > Q, P > M, and O > N . Between which two variables is no relationship established?

Explanation	Calculations	Help
$We first make note of all the given inequalities.$	$M > N P > O N > Q P > M O > N$
$We then connect the inequalities in a chain to compare P and Q .$	$Using the chain rule, if P > M and M > N and N > Q, then P > Q$	Theory & Tactics Method Card INEQ1-C Click to view full details
$We then connect the inequalities in a chain to compare O and Q .$	$Using the chain rule, if O > N and N > Q, then O > Q$	Theory & Tactics Method Card INEQ1-C Click to view full details
$We then connect the inequalities in a chain to compare M and Q .$	$Using the chain rule, if M > N and N > Q, then M > Q$	Theory & Tactics Method Card INEQ1-C Click to view full details
$We note the direct relationship between P and O .$	$P > O$
$We compare M and O : both are greater than N but they are not directly related.$	$M > N O > N Neither M > O nor O > M can be concluded$
