The answer by &nbsp;@MathLover1 is &nbsp;INCORRECT, &nbsp;in that sense that 

her reasoning is &nbsp;&nbsp;I R R E L E V A N T &nbsp;&nbsp;to the solution of the problem.



This lady has quite limited knowledge in &nbsp;Math  &nbsp;&nbsp;(despite her nick-name at this forum),

but it does not stop her to answer questions &nbsp;INCORRECTLY &nbsp;and to solve problems &nbsp;INCORRECTLY 

every day several times per day in the areas, &nbsp;where she is not competent.
