BZZZZT! Wrong. We do not know that b is greater than a.A is true, because reversed,
B>=A.HOWEVER, in your logical,
Basic, learning process, we learned that if a is less than b,
Then B is obviously greater than A. There was no = and/or when we first leaned this.
Therefore a logical thinker would apply it as
A<B.I say the answer is B
All we know is that b is not less than a.

If a is not greater than B,
Then B is greater than a.
That's the f in logic -

What if... Hold on now.. A = B?If a is not greater than B,

That's the f in logicThat's just crazy talk. That's impossible you say...
To a computer, !(A>B) does absolutely not mean B must be greater than A.

George Boole ( /ˈbuːl/; 2 November 1815 – 8 December 1864) was an English-born mathematician and logician. His work was in the fields of differential equations and algebraic logic, and he is now best known as the author of The Laws of Thought. As the inventor of the prototype of what is now called Boolean logic, which became the basis of the modern digital computer, Boole is regarded in hindsight as a founder of the field of computer science. Boole said,
... no general method for the solution of questions in the theory of probabilities can be established which does not explicitly recognise ... those universal laws of thought which are the basis of all reasoning

Computers do not "think" logically or illogically.We are talking about Boolean conditional tests as evaluated by any computer programming language.
But even in "human" logic, A>B = FALSE does not mean B>A = TRUE. A could equal B.

The logic behind mathematical inequality stats that if it's not more, it's less.
-
It's b because if false is a>b reverse it for true b>a or ab is a<b

In my head, I see the logic behind why B is correct.
I also see your logic behind why A is correct. The problem is that while A and B both have "correct" answers, A is more complete because it encompasses B as well. However, in all of this, we assume that A and B are numbers.
Let's say they're not.A= Apple
B= BaconNow...
A>=B
A<=B
A>B
A<B -

Lets break this down if a>b is false then we can eliminate D as an answer. If you reverse it you get a<b which can be true. But there is also the option of a and b being equal a=b. Which gives us both answers b and c as possible answers. But since answer a includes both answers both b and c then it is logically the most correct answer.

Why is this so hard for some people here? Its a simple answer to a simple question. The question says a is not greater than b, that's it. You cannot assume that it can be equal to as well, since the question does not say that. Therefore place numbers to the letters. A=2 b=4. A is less then b and DOES NOT equal b. sad to see so many logic failures.

It's a mask.
The answer is A, and will always be A.

I have been breathing this geek crap since 1980.
It surprises me that in this age of information technology, there are so many people saying the correct answer is B.
Not only saying it, but trying to argue it.
This is very simple Boolean math, and in any proper computer programming class, OF WHICH I'VE ACED AT LEAST 30, the correct answer is A.

Those who doubt the above, go google truth tables, make one and account for all possible cases (hint, there are more than two cases...)
I will not return to read this. Brown will keep class running for those who want it I guess
