Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statements are followed by two or three conclusions. Choose the correct Answer given below:
Statements: C < H = J ,& & & X& ≤ Y < J ,& & & N > X& ≥ Z
Conclusions:& Y > Z ,& & & Y = Z
Conclusions:& Y > Z ,& & & Y = Z
Options
- ABoth conclusions I and II follow
- BEither conclusion I or II follows
- COnly conclusion I follows
- DOnly conclusion II follows
Correct answer
B. Either conclusion I or II follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& C < H = J ,& & & X& ≤ Y < J& ,& & & N > X& ≥ Z
Conclusions:& Y > Z ,& & & Y = Z
For conclusion I: Y > Z
From statements I and III, we get:
Y ≥ X& ≥ Z
Conclusions:& Y > Z ,& & & Y = Z
For conclusion I: Y > Z
From statements I and III, we get:
Y ≥ X& ≥ Z
Here, the common sign between Y and Z is ‘≥’. Hence Y& ≥ Z Thus conclusion I does not follow individually.
For conclusion II: Y = Z
From statements I and III, we get:
Y ≥ X& ≥ Z
Y ≥ X& ≥ Z
Here, the common sign between Y and Z is ‘≥’. Hence Y& ≥ Z. Thus conclusion II also does not follow individually.
On combining conclusions I and II, we get: Y& ≥ Z, which is the true relationship.
Thus either conclusion I or II follows.
Hence option B is correct.
