As printed, P includes x=y, which would require 0<0, so P is false. For distinct x,y, f′(x)=x²/(1+x²)<1 and the mean-value theorem would give the strict inequality. Q requires arctan x=π/2, impossible at any finite x. Under the literal stated quantifier both are false, **D**. The distinction about equal arguments is essential.
