Directions: In this question, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. The statement is followed by some conclusions. Study the conclusions based on the given statement and select the appropriate answer.
Statements:& C < L ≤ M = E ≤ X < I,& & J = X < H ≤ S ≤ V > N,& & A ≤ V < T = Z = W > U
Conclusions:& I. L ≤ H,& & II. S < M,& & III. J < Z
Options
- AOnly C1 and C2 follow
- BOnly C3 follows
- COnly C2 and C3 follow
- DAll the conclusions follow
Correct answer
B. Only C3 follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& C < L ≤ M = E ≤ X < I,& & J = X < H ≤ S ≤ V > N,& & A ≤ V < T = Z = W > U
Conclusions:& I. L ≤ H,& & II. S < M,& & III. J < Z
Combining both the equations to find the relationship between L and H, we get
L ≤ M = E ≤ X < H
Clearly, the common sign of inequalities between L and H is of '<' and the given conclusion is L ≤ H. C1, hence, does not follow.
Similarly, for S and M, we get
S ≥ H > X ≥ E = M
Clearly, the common sign between S and M is of '>' and the given conclusion is S < M. C2, hence, does not follow.
Similarly, for J and Z, we get
J = X < H ≤ S ≤ V < T = Z
Clearly, the common sign between J and Z is of '<' and the given conclusion is also J < Z. C3, hence, follows.
Option B is hence the correct answer.
