Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statements are followed by two or three conclusions. Choose the correct Answer given below:
Statements: H > K = O > R& & & K ≥ M > L& & & & O ≤ F < Y
Conclusions: F > R,& & & M < H
Options
- AOnly conclusion II follows.
- BOnly conclusion I follows.
- CBoth conclusion I and II follow.
- DNeither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
Correct answer
C. Both conclusion I and II follow.
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& H > K = O > R& & & K ≥ M > L& & & & O ≤ F < Y
Conclusions:& F > R,& & & M < H
For conclusion I: F > R
Combining statements I and III, we get:
F ≥ O > R
Here, the common sign between F and R is ‘>’ and the given conclusion is F > R. Hence, conclusion I follows.
For conclusion II: M < H
Combining statements I and II, we get:
H > K ≥ M
Here, the common sign between H and M is ‘>’ and the given conclusion is M < H. Conclusion II follows.
Hence, the correct answer is would be ‘Both the statements I and II follow’.
