Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the various statements which is followed by three conclusions. Choose the correct answer on the basis of information given below.
Statements:& L > A = B , & T < M > K , X < B < T ,& L > B > CConclusions: & K < A, M > C& ,& & L > X
Options
- ANone of the conclusions follows
- BOnly conclusions I and III follow
- CEither conclusion I or II follows
- DOnly conclusions II and III follow
Correct answer
D. Only conclusions II and III follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& L& >& A& = B , & T& <& M& > K , X& < B <& T& ,& L& > B >& C
Conclusions: K < A, M > C& ,& & L& >& X
For conclusion I: K < A
From statements I, II and III, we get:
A = B < T < M > K
Here, there are opposite sign between A and K. Thus no relationship can be established between them.
Hence conclusion I does not follow.
For conclusion II: M >C
From statements II, III and IV, we get:
M > T > B > C
Here, the common sign between M and C is '>'. Thus M > C.
Hence conclusion II follows.
For conclusion III:& L > X
From statements I and III, we get:
L > B > X
Here, the common sign between L and X is '>'. Thus L > X.&
Hence conclusion III follows.
Therefore conclusions II and III follow.
Hence option D is correct.
