GIVEN: 0 < a < b/2 < 9 Subtract a from all sides to get: 0 - a < a - a < b/2 - a < 9 - a Simplify: -a < 0 < b/2 - a < 9 - a
If we ignore the first two values, we can see that: b/2 - a < 9 - a Since 9 - a is GREATER THAN b/2 - a, the correct answer is A

We can easily eliminate -a from the inequality since it's on both the sides. After that, only 9 and b/2 are left, and 9 is bigger is given in the question.
