Potentially all pairwise rankings of all possible alternatives "good education" "≻" "poor education"), it is clear that (i) b2 + c1 > b1 + c2 (as above) implies pair (iv) (see Figure 2) is ranked as a2 + b2 + c1 > a1 + b1 + c2.

Potentially all pairwise rankings of all possible alternatives Again, this result reflects the transitivity property: (i) 121"≻"112 and (ii) 112"≻"211 implies (iii) 121"≻"211; equivalently, 122"≻"221 and 221"≻"212 implies 122"≻"212.
