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 > C Conclusions: 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 state
