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 = EConclusions:& 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.
Here we can see the opposite signs between C and H, thus no relationship can be established between them.
Therefore conclusion (III) does not follow.
Hence option C is correct.
