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: R > I = N > P& & & Y ≥ R > K& & & N ≤ E < Z
Conclusions: K > I,& & & & & I < Z
Options
- AOnly conclusion II follows.
- BOnly conclusion I follows.
- CBoth conclusion I and II follow.
- DNeither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
Correct answer
A. Only conclusion II follows.
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& R > I = N > P& & & Y ≥ R > K& & & N ≤ E < Z
Conclusions:& K > I,& & & & & I < Z
From the statements I and II, we get:
I < R > K
Here, the signs on inequalities between I and R are getting reversed. Conclusion I hence doesn't follow.
For conclusion II: I < Z
Combining statements I and III, we get:
I = N ≤ E < Z
Here, the common sign between I and Z is ‘<’ and the given conclusion is also I < Z. Hence, conclusion II follows.
Hence, the correct answer is would be ‘Only conclusion II follows’.
