If q<1 and 2p−q=0, then which of the following must be true?
2p=q and 2p<1 ----> p<1/2
A. p>−1. IF A is FALSE, THEN p is not greater than -1. A is FALSE, because p can be -2 and this satisfies p<1/2
B. p<−2. IF B is FALSE, THEN p is not less than -2. B is FALSE, because p can be -1, and this satisfies p<1/2
C. p=2. IF C is FALSE, THEN p is not equal to 1. C is FALSE, because when p=1 and this does not satisfy p<1/2
D. p<1. IF D is FALSE, THEN p is not less than 1. D is NOT FALSE, because p, which is equal or greater than 1 will not satisfy p<1/2
E. p>1. IF E is FALSE, THEN p is not greater than 1. E is FALSE, because p can be 0, and this satisfies p<1/2
