Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside. Statements: X = V ≤ Y ≥ Z < C, X > P > R = D ≥ F Conclusions: V > F, Y > R
Options
- ABoth conclusions I and II follow
- BEither conclusion I or II follows
- COnly conclusion I follows
- DOnly conclusion II follows
Correct answer
A. Both conclusions I and II follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements: X = V ≤ Y ≥ Z < C, X > P > R = D ≥ F Conclusions: V > F, Y > R For Conclusion I: V > F From statements I and II, we get: V = X > P > R = D ≥ F Here, we get the common sign between V and F is '>' . Thus V > F . Hence conclusion I follows. For Conclusion II: Y > R From statements I and II, we get: Y ≥ V= X > P > R Here, we get the common sign between Y and R is '>' . Thus Y > R . Hence conclusion II follows. Hence option A is correct.
