The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to establish the relationship between the given variables \(X\), \(Y\), and \(A\) based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information**: We know that \(X\) and \(Y\) are positive real numbers and \(X > Y\). We also know that \(A\) is a positive real number. 2. **Add \(A\) to Both Sides**: Since \(A\) is positive, we can add \(A\) to both \(X\) and \(Y\) without changing the inequality: \[ X + A > Y + A \] 3. **Form the Ratio**: We can form the ratio of \(X + A\) to \(Y + A\): \[ \frac{X + A}{Y + A} \] 4. **Express \(X\) in terms of \(Y\)**: Let’s express \(X\) in terms of \(Y\) using a variable \(m\): \[ X = mY \quad \text{where } m > 1 \text{ (since } X > Y\text{)} \] 5. **Substitute \(X\) in the Ratio**: Substitute \(X = mY\) into the ratio: \[ \frac{mY + A}{Y + A} \] 6. **Simplify the Ratio**: We can simplify this expression: \[ \frac{mY + A}{Y + A} = \frac{Y(m + \frac{A}{Y})}{Y + A} \] 7. **Set the Ratio Equal to \(n\)**: Let’s denote: \[ n = \frac{X + A}{Y + A} \] Therefore, we have: \[ n = \frac{mY + A}{Y + A} \] 8. **Establish the Relationship**: We need to analyze when this ratio \(n\) is greater than 1. This leads us to: \[ n - 1 > 0 \quad \text{and} \quad m - n > 0 \] 9. **Conclude the Inequality**: From the above conditions, we derive: \[ \frac{X}{Y} > \frac{X + A}{Y + A} \] ### Final Result: Thus, we conclude that: \[ \frac{X}{Y} > \frac{X + A}{Y + A} \]
