This problem doesn't state any limitations on the variables a and b.
There are two scenarios to consider,
Scenario 1: a and b are both positive , in that case a<b
Scenario 2: a and b are both negative , in that case a>b
but the common between those is that no matter the sign a b <1 will always be true.
