From my viewpoint, answer must b true because already 2 statements are true (i.eM<T & W< T). A/C to question if 2 statement become true 3rd one also be true. So the answer is True.

According to me the right answer should be False, because if we consider three conditions simultaneously we will find out that sequence is given properly.

Answer is true.
M<T, W<T and W<T so it means how ever whether (+/-) Wednesday is higher than Monday.
M<T, W<T and W<T so it means how ever whether (+/-) Wednesday is higher than Monday.

The first option is true in this case. The question clearly speaks it out here. You just need to get into the question and understand it. The correct answer is TRUE.

Uncertain is the answer.
As even the temp of both Monday & Wednesday is lower than Tuesday. Its uncertain to identify Monday's temp, as Monday's temperature may or may not be higher than Wednesday.

I think second option is true because read 2 statement very carefully tuesday is the highest temp than monday and wednesday.

No specific temp values are given. So, we cannot identify.
M<T.
W<T.
Tuesday has always high temp. Where as Mon and Wed days have lower temp. But Mon days temp is how much (+/-) than Wednesday. That's uncertain. Answer is uncertain. Is it clear?
