Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) The only sure thing we know is that investment A is better than investment B because for the same return we get less risk. Investment B is not better than investment C because for the same risk, we get less return. We cannot say if investment C or investment D is better because that involves a personal judgment on the risk-return trade-off.
