1 each of the two items that Val bought cost more than 10$ 2. Val spent 34$ for the 2 items. 3. Neither of the two items that Val bought cost more then 15$ ... which 2 statements contradict each other

Statement : Val spent $ 34 for the 2 items

contradiction : Neither of the 2 items that Val bought cost more then $ 15

think about it ... if neither of them cost more then 15 ... lets say they cost 15 each ... then there is no way he spent $ 34 ... he would spend at most $ 30
