Understand the Problem

The question is asking to select the smaller value between two figures. The first figure is a triangle minus a cross, or a four pointed star minus a triangle. To determine the answer, we must determine the value of each geometric shape.

Answer

There is no smaller value.
Answer for screen readers

There is no smaller value.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the shapes

From the image, we can identify the triangle as shape 6, the cross as shape 3, and the 4-pointed star as shape 5, and the upside down triangle as shape 2.

  1. Compute the value of the first expression

The first expression is triangle minus cross. So $6 - 3 = 3$.

  1. Compute the value of the second expression

The second expression is 4-pointed star minus upside down triangle. So $5 - 2 = 3$.

  1. Find the smaller value

Since both expressions evaluate to 3, they are equal. Therefore there is no smaller value. Given your options it appears something went wrong with the OCR and the list you pasted does not have the actual correct answer. Since both figures are equal there is no smallest value.

There is no smaller value.

More Information

Because both expressions have equal values, there is no smaller value.

Tips

A common mistake would be misidentifying the shapes and assigning them the incorrect values.
