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. Statement: A = B = C ≥ D ≥ E ≥ F = G = H Conclusions: I. C > F, II.
Options
- AOnly C1 follows
- BEither C2 or C3 follows
- COnly C2 follows
- DEither C1 or C2 and C3 follows
Correct answer
D. Either C1 or C2 and C3 follows
Step-by-step solution
Given Statement: A = B = C ≥ D ≥ E ≥ F = G = H For C1, we can see that between C and F the common sign is of '≥' which means C1 individually doesn't follow. But if we look at C2 which is B = G (or C = F because we have B = C and G = F), we can say that either C1 or C2 follows. Now, between H and D the common sign is of '≤' (while moving from H to D), which is given as C3. Hence C3 completely follows. Option D is hence the correct answer.
