Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statements are followed by three conclusions. Choose the correct answer on the basis of information given below.
Statements: & Y < X < W ,& & & Y < I > L ,& & & C = F < L ,& & S > D > C
Conclusions:& W < I ,& & & S > F& & ,& & I > C
Conclusions:& W < I ,& & & S > F& & ,& & I > C
Options
- ANone of the conclusions follow
- BEither conclusion I or III follows
- COnly conclusion III follows
- DOnly conclusions II and III follow
Correct answer
D. Only conclusions II and III follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& Y& <& X& <& W& ,& & Y& < I >& L& ,& & & C =& F& <& L& ,& S& >& D& > C
Conclusions: W& < I ,& & & S& >& F& & ,& & I > C
For conclusion I: W < I
From statements I and II, we get:
I > Y < W
Here, we get the opposite signs between W and I. Thus no relation can be established between them.
Hence conclusion I does not follow.
For conclusion II: S > F
From statements III and IV, we get:
S > C = F
Here, the common sign between S and F is '>'. Thus S > F.
Hence conclusion II follows.
For conclusion III: I > C
From statements II and III, we get:
I > L > C = F
Here, the common sign between I and C is '>'. Thus I > C.
Hence conclusion III follows.
Since only conclusions II and III follow.
Hence option D is correct.
Conclusions: W& < I ,& & & S& >& F& & ,& & I > C
For conclusion I: W < I
From statements I and II, we get:
I > Y < W
Here, we get the opposite signs between W and I. Thus no relation can be established between them.
Hence conclusion I does not follow.
For conclusion II: S > F
From statements III and IV, we get:
S > C = F
Here, the common sign between S and F is '>'. Thus S > F.
Hence conclusion II follows.
For conclusion III: I > C
From statements II and III, we get:
I > L > C = F
Here, the common sign between I and C is '>'. Thus I > C.
Hence conclusion III follows.
Since only conclusions II and III follow.
Hence option D is correct.
