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: S < U, N ≥ V, U = Q, R > N, S ≤ G, Q > T, V = G Conclusions: U > T R > S R = S
Options
- AOnly conclusion (I) follows
- BBoth conclusions (I) and (II) follow
- COnly conclusion (II) follows
- DEither conclusion (I) or (II) follows
Correct answer
B. Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements: S < U, N ≥ V, U = Q, R > N, S ≤ G, Q > T, V = G Conclusions: U > T R > S R = S By combining all the statements, we get the following equation: R > N ≥ V = G ≥ S < U = Q > T For conclusion (I): U > T Here, the common sign between U and T is '>'. Thus U > T. Hence conclusion (I) follows. For conclusion (II): R > S Here, the common sign between R and S is '>'. Thus R > S. Thus conclusion (II) follows. For conclusion (III): R = S Here, the common sign between R and S is '>
