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: H = V ≤& Y , Y ≥& F < Z, H ≥ P = R,& & Z = M > XConclusions:& Y > R ,& & M < F,& & & Y = R
Options
- ABoth conclusions I and III follow
- BEither conclusion I or III follows
- COnly conclusion III follows
- DAll conclusions follow
Correct answer
B. Either conclusion I or III follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& H = V ≤& Y , Y ≥& F < Z, H ≥ P = R,& & Z = M > X
Conclusions:& Y > R ,& & M < F,& & & Y = R
For Conclusion I: Y > R
From statements I and III, we get:
Y ≥ V = H ≥ P = R
Here, the common sign between Y and R is '≥' . Thus Y ≥ R.
Hence conclusion I does not follow individually.
For Conclusion II: M < F
From statements II and IV, we get:
F < Z = M
Here, we the common sign between F and& M is '<'. Thus F < M or M > F.
Hence conclusion II does not follow.
For Conclusion III:& Y = R
From statements I and III, we get:
Y ≥ V = H ≥ P = R
Here, the common sign between Y and R is '≥' . Thus Y ≥ R.
Hence conclusion III does not follow individually.
Combining conclusion& I and III
Thus either conclusion I or III follows.
Hence option B is correct.
