Tough and Tricky questions: Absolute Values.
If |a| = 1/3 and |b| = 1/2, which of the following CANNOT be the result of a + b?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) -5/6
B) -1/6
C) 1/6
D) 2/3
E) 5/6
|a| = 1/3   Absolute value of 'a' can have two values = 1/3 and -(1/3)   |b| = 1/2   Absolute value of 'b' can have two values = 1/2 and -(1/2)   Now different combinations of a + b are as follows:   a + b = (1/3) + (1/2) = 5/6   - a - b = -(1/3) - (1/2) = -5/6   a - b = (1/3) - (1/2) = -(1/6)   -a + b = -(1/3) + (1/2) = 1/6   Cross verifying with the given options, left over option is 2/3.
