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
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 g
