Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside.
In which of the following expressions 'L > P' as well as ' J > P' hold definitely true?
Options
- AL > X > E = P < H ≤ J
- BL ≥ X = E > P ≤ H < J
- CL = X > E ≥ P < H < J
- DAll of the above
Correct answer
D. All of the above
Step-by-step solution
In order to ensure the statement that holds ' L > P' and ' J > P' definitely true, we have to check all the options one by one.
For option A:
L > X > E = P < H& ≤ J
Here, the common sign between L and P is '>', thus it& follows& L > P.
The common sign between P and J is also '<' , thus it& follows& P < J or J > P.
For option B:
L& ≥ X = E > P& ≤ H < J
Here also, the common sign between L and P is '>', thus it& follows& L > P.
The common sign between P and J is also '<' , thus it& follows& P < J or J > P.
For option C:&
L = X > E ≥ P < H < J
Here again, the common sign between L and P is '>', thus it& follows& L > P.
The common sign between P and J is also '<' , thus it& follows& P < J or J > P.
Since all the three expressions hold the given conclusions true, option D "all of the above" is correct.
Hence option D is correct.

The common sign between P and J is also '<' , thus it& follows& P < J or J > P.
