The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to compare two quantities given the condition that the product \(xyz < 0\). This means that either one of the numbers \(x\), \(y\), or \(z\) is negative while the other two are positive, or all three numbers are negative. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: Since \(xyz < 0\), we have two scenarios: - **Scenario 1**: One number is negative and the other two are positive. - **Scenario 2**: All three numbers are negative. 2. **Calculating Quantity A and Quantity B**: - **Quantity A**: \(x + y + z\) - **Quantity B**: \(2x + 2y + 2z = 2(x + y + z)\) 3. **Analyzing Scenario 1**: - Let’s take an example where \(x = -1\), \(y = 2\), and \(z = 3\). - Calculate Quantity A: \[ A = x + y + z = -1 + 2 + 3 = 4 \] - Calculate Quantity B: \[ B = 2(x + y + z) = 2 \times 4 = 8 \] - Here, \(B > A\). 4. **Analyzing Scenario 2**: - Now, let’s take an example where \(x = -1\), \(y = -2\), and \(z = -3\). - Calculate Quantity A: \[ A = x + y + z = -1 - 2 - 3 = -6 \] - Calculate Quantity B: \[ B = 2(x + y + z) = 2 \times (-6) = -12 \] - Here, \(A > B\). 5. **Conclusion**: - From the two scenarios, we see that in the first case, Quantity B is greater, while in the second case, Quantity A is greater. - Therefore, there is no consistent relationship between Quantity A and Quantity B based on the given condition \(xyz < 0\). ### Final Answer: The relationship between Quantity A and Quantity B cannot be determined from the information given. Thus, the correct option is **Option 4**.
