Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Choose the correct answer for inequalitygiven below:
Statements:& H = I < J,& & & I = K > L ≥ M,& & & L > F ≤ S < T
Conclusions:& & I. H > M& & & & & II. K > S
Options
- AOnly conclusion I follows.
- BOnly conclusion II follows.
- CBoth conclusions follow.
- DEither conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
Correct answer
A. Only conclusion I follows.
Step-by-step solution
Only conclusion I follows.
Option A, is hence the correct answer.
Common explanation:
There is a priority order of the symbols according to which the priority of the symbol is decided to reach the conclusion. Whenever there are two or more type of symbols are there between two objects whose relation is to be determine we have to use this order.
If the direction of sign is opposite between that two objects, no relation can be stated perfectly and we have to say that it does not follow.
Priority Order:
1.& & & > and <&
2.& & & ≥ and& ≤
3.& & & & & & =
For conclusion I: H > M
Combining statements I and II:
H = I = K > L ≥ M
As, “>”, is the highest priority sign in the combination so, “H > M”, is the true relation between H and M.
Hence, Conclusion I follows.
For conclusion II: K > S
Combining statements II and III:
K > L > F ≤ S
As, sign between “K” and “S” are in different direction so, this conclusion does not follow.
