Question always caused arguments in class

Can anyone help with answering this

Test Values for a statement "if X > 5000"

The answer says to test Below, On and Above the value

this would be 4999, 5000, 5001 and blank value
or
5000,5001,5002 and blank value?

Below 5000: 4999

On 5000: 5000

Above 5000: 5001

this would be 4999, 5000, 5001 and blank value
or
5000,5001,5002 and blank value?

The first row tests below, on and above. The second row tests on, above and above.

I can't see the source of confusion? You would definitely use the first row of tests to check if '>' isn't functioning as '>=".

Sparks the same debate in my IT apps class.
The data should test BEFORE, ON and AFFER.
My mum can't even use a computer and got it right.

From how I normally answer my test data questions is that I always do:
The value below the boundary
Minimum Value within the boundary
Max Value within the boundary (if applicable *range checking*)
The value above the boundary

and since the condition is greater than and not greater than or equal to
It would be
4999, 5000, 5001
