Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside.
Statements: D < H ≤ L < J ≤ K < A,& & M = F ≠ J = G ≥ I > Q,& & U ≤ P < E = C = I
Conclusions:& I. E < A& & & II. D < P
Options
- ANeither C1 nor C2 follows
- BOnly C1 follows
- CBoth C1 and C2 follow
- DOnly C2 follows
Correct answer
B. Only C1 follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& D < H ≤ L < J ≤ K < A, & M =& F ≠& J = G ≥ I > Q, & U ≤ P < E = C = I
Conclusions:& & I. E < A & & II. D < P
Combining the equations to find the relationship between E and A, we get
E = C = I ≤ G = J ≤ K < A
Clearly, the common sign of inequalities between E and A is of '<'. Conclusion E < A is hence stays true. C1, hence, follows.
Similarly, combining equations to find the relationship between D and P, we get
D < H ≤ L < J = G ≥ I = C = E > P
Clearly, the signs are getting reversed and hence we can't define a relationship between D and P. C2, hence, doesn't follow.
Option B& is hence the correct answer.
