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: W ≥ Q > U , T = L ≥ Q , V ≤ A < L Conclusions: T > U , W > T
Options
- ABoth conclusions I and II follow
- BEither conclusion I or II follows
- COnly conclusion I follows
- DOnly conclusion II follows
Correct answer
C. Only conclusion I follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements: W ≥ Q > U , T = L ≥ Q , V ≤ A < L Conclusions: T > U , W > T For conclusion I: T > U From statements I and II, we get: T = L ≥ Q > U Here, the common sign between T and U is '>'. Thus T > U. Hence conclusion I follows. For conclusion II: W > T From statements I and II, we get: W ≥ Q ≤ L = T Here, we can see the opposite sign between W and T, thus no relationship can be established between them. Hence conclusion II does not follow. Thus only conclusion I follows. Hence option C
