Directions: In this question, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. The statement is followed by some conclusions. Study the conclusions based on the given statement and select the appropriate answer.
Statements:& U > M ≥ A = N < S,& & X = N ≥ Q = Y > R
Conclusions:& M > Y,& & M = Y
Options
- ABoth conclusions I and II follow
- BEither conclusion I or II follows
- COnly conclusion I follows
- DOnly conclusion II follows
Correct answer
B. Either conclusion I or II follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& & U > M ≥ A = N < S ,& & & & & X = N ≥ Q = Y > R
Conclusions:& M > Y ,& & & M = Y
For Conclusion I: M > Y
From statements I and II, we get:
M ≥ A = N ≥ Q = Y
Here, the common sign between M and Y is ‘≥’. Hence M > Y is not true individually.
For Conclusion II: M = Y
From statements I and II, we get:
M ≥ A = N = X ≥ Q = Y
Here, the common sign between M and Y is ‘≥’. Hence M = Y is not true individually.
But if we combine both the conclusions, we will get to know that Either M > Y or M = Y .
Thus, either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
Hence option B& is correct.
