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
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 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 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,
