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
