Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Choose the correct Answer given below: Statements: A > B = S , E ≥ B > J , H < S ≤ E , A > S ≥ T Conclusions: E > T, E = T , A > J
Options
- ANone of the conclusions follow
- BOnly conclusion I and either conclusion II or II follow
- CEither conclusion I or II follows
- DOnly conclusion III and either conclusion I or II follow
Correct answer
D. Only conclusion III and either conclusion I or II follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements: A > B = S , E ≥ B > J , H < S ≤ E , A > S ≥ T Conclusions: E > T, E = T , A > J For conclusion I: E > T From statements III and IV, we get: T ≤ S ≤ E Here, common sign between T and E is '≤'. Thus T ≤ E or E ≥ T. Also, From statements I, III and IV, we get: E ≥ B = S ≥ T Here, common sign between E and T is '≥'. Thus T ≤ E or E ≥ T. Hence conclusion I does not follow individually. For conclusion II: E = T From statements III and IV, we get: T ≤ S
