Directions: In this question, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. The statement is followed by some conclusions. Study the conclusions based on the given statement and select the appropriate answer.
Statements:& T < H ≤ L < S ≤ K < A,& & M = F ≠ S = G ≥ I > Q,& & U ≤ B < N = C = IConclusions:& I. N < A,& & II. T < B,& & III. S ≥ N
Options
- ANeither C2 nor C3 follows
- BOnly C1 and C3 follow
- CBoth C1 and C2 follow
- DAll the conclusions follow
Correct answer
B.
Only C1 and C3 follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& T < H ≤ L < S ≤ K < A,& & M = F ≠ S = G ≥ I > Q,& & U ≤ B < N = C = I
Conclusions:& I. N < A,& & II. T < B,& & III. S ≥ N
Conclusions:& I. N < A,& & II. T < B,& & III. S ≥ N
Combining the equations to find the relationship between N and A, we get
N = C = I ≤ G = S ≤ K < A
Clearly, the common sign of inequalities between N and A is of '<'. Conclusion N < A is hence stays true. C1, hence, follows.
Similarly, combining equations to find the relationship between T and B, we get
T < H ≤ L < S = G ≥ I = C = N > B
Clearly, the signs are getting reversed and hence we can't define a relationship between T and B. C2, hence, doesn't follow.
Similarly, combining equations to find the relationship between S and N, we get
S = G ≥ I = C = N
Here the common sign between S and N is '≥' and the given conclusion is S ≥ N. Evidently , C3 follows.
Option B is hence the correct answer.
