Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside.
Directions(Q.1−3): 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: 7 > 5 > 9 = 1 < 3,& & 4 ≤ 2 = 6 < 9 < 0
Conclusions:& I. 5 > 2& & II. 4 ≤ 1
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:& 7 > 5 > 9 = 1 < 3,& & 4 ≤ 2 = 6 < 9 < 0
Conclusions:& & I. 5 > 2& & II. 4 ≤ 1
Combining equations to find the relationship between 5 and 2, we get
7 > 5 > 9 > 6 = 2
Clearly, the common sign of inequalities between 5 and 2 is of '>' and the conclusion given is 5 > 2. C1, hence, follows.
Similarly, for 4 and 1 we get,&
4 ≤ 2 = 6 < 9 = 1
Here, the common sign of inequalities between 4 and 1 is of '<' whereas the conclusion given is 4 ≤ 1. C2, hence, doesn't follow.
Hence option B is the correct answer.
Conclusions:& & I. 5 > 2& & II. 4 ≤ 1
Combining equations to find the relationship between 5 and 2, we get
7 > 5 > 9 > 6 = 2
Clearly, the common sign of inequalities between 5 and 2 is of '>' and the conclusion given is 5 > 2. C1, hence, follows.

4 ≤ 2 = 6 < 9 = 1

Hence option B is the correct answer.
