Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside.
Statements: C < L ≤ M = E ≤ X < I,& & J = X < H ≤ S ≤ V > N,& & A ≤ V < B = Z = W > U
Conclusions:& I. L < B& & & II. S > M
Options
- ANeither C1 nor C2 follows
- BOnly C1 follows
- CBoth C1 and C2 follow
- DOnly C2 follows
Correct answer
C. Both C1 and C2 follow
Step-by-step solution
Statements:& T < L ≤ M = E ≤ X < I, & J =& X < H ≤& S ≤& V > N, & A ≤ V < B = Z = W > U
Conclusions:& & I. L < B & & II. S > M
Combining both the equations to find the relationship between L and B, we get
L ≤ M = E ≤ X < H ≤& S ≤& V < B
Clearly, the common sign of inequalities between L and B is of '<' and the given conclusion is L < B. C1, hence, follows.
Similarly, for S and M, we get
S& ≥ H > X& ≥ E = M
Clearly, the common sign between S and M is of '>' and the given conclusion is S > M. C2, hence, follows as well.
Option C& is hence the correct answer.
