Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Choose the correct Answer given below:
Statements: & T = K > L ,& & & D > K > U& ,& & C = Z < T ,& & & F& ≥ V > UConclusions:& U < T,& & F = K,& & C < L
Options
- AOnly conclusion I follows
- BEither conclusion I or II follows
- COnly conclusions II and III follow
- DNone of the conclusions follows
Correct answer
A. Only conclusion I follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& & T = K > L ,& & & D > K > U& ,& & C = Z < T ,& & & F& ≥ V > U
Conclusions:& U < T,& & F = K,& & C < L
For conclusion I: U < T
From statements I and II, we get:
T = K > U
Here, the common sign between T and U is '>'. Thus T > U or U < T.
Hence conclusion I follows.
For conclusion II: F = K
From statements II and IV, we get:
K > U < V& ≤ F
Here, we can see the opposite signs between K and F. Thus no relation can be established between them.
Hence conclusion II does not follow.
For conclusion III: C < L
From statements I, II and III, we get:
Z = C& < T = K > L
Here, we can see the opposite signs between C and D. Thus no relation can be established between them.
Hence conclusion III does not follow.
Therefore only conclusion I follows.
Hence option A is correct.
