Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside. Which of the following symbols should replace the question mark in the given statement in order to make conclusion 'W = O' as well as ' P > K' definitely true? L > W = P ? O ≥ T > K
Options
- A>
- B<
- C≥
- D=
Correct answer
D. =
Step-by-step solution
In order to make the given conclusions ' W = O' and ' P > K' definitely true, we have to apply all the given symbols in the options one by one. For option A: > L > W = P > O ≥ T > K Here, the common sign between W and O is '>', thus it d oes not follow W = O. The common sign between P and K is also '>' , thus it follows P > K. Since, we need a symbol which will follow both the conclusions simultaneously, option A gets eliminated. For option B: < L > W = P < O ≥ T > K Here, the
