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 For conclusion I: K > I 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 co
