Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the various statements which is followed by three conclusions. Choose the correct answer on the basis of information given below. Statements: A < B, C = D, E < F, B > D, G ≥ C, A > F, H = E Conclusions: G > B A > H C = H
Options
- AOnly conclusion (I) follows
- BBoth conclusions (I) and (III) follow
- COnly conclusion (II) follows
- DEither conclusion (I) or (II) follows
Correct answer
C. Only conclusion (II) follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements: A < B, C = D , E < F, B > D, G ≥ C, A > F, H = E Conclusions: G > B A > H C = H By combining all the statements, we get the following equation: G ≥ C = D < B > A > F > E = H For conclusion (I): G > B Here we can see the opposite signs between G and B, thus no relationship can be established between them. Hence conclusion (I) does not follow. For conclusion (II): A > H Here, the common sign between A and H is '>'. Thus A > H. Thus conclusion (II) follows. For conclusion (III): C = H Here we
