If Mark completed more investigations than Jake and Jake completed more than Rob, what can be concluded about Mark and Rob?

  1. Mark completed more than Rob

  2. Rob completed more than Mark

  3. They completed the same number

  4. Insufficient Information to Decide

The correct answer is: Mark completed more than Rob

The conclusion that Mark completed more investigations than Rob is drawn from the relationship established among their performance. Since it is stated that Mark completed more investigations than Jake, and Jake completed more than Rob, we can infer a direct comparison among all three individuals. To break it down: - Mark's number of investigations exceeds Jake's. - Jake's number of investigations exceed Rob's. This establishes a clear order: Mark > Jake > Rob. Therefore, it logically follows that Mark's number must also exceed Rob's, leading to the conclusion that Mark completed more investigations than Rob. This relational structure only supports the conclusion that Mark has the highest count among the three, making it possible to confirm that option A is indeed correct.
