Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Choose the correct Answer given below: Statements: T > K > Y , J ≤ K = G , I > C ≥ G , M ≤ I < N Conclusions: N > K , C ≤ T, M < J
Options
- ABoth conclusions II and III follow
- BEither conclusion I or III follows
- COnly conclusion I follows
- DOnly conclusion II follows
Correct answer
C. Only conclusion I follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements: T > K > Y , J ≤ K = G , I > C ≥ G , M ≤ I < N Conclusions: N > K , C ≤ T, M < J For Conclusion I: N > K From statements II, III and IV, we get: N > I > C ≥ G = K Here, the common sign between N and K is '>'. Thus N > K. Hence conclusion I follows. For Conclusion II: C ≤ T From statements I, II and III, we get: C ≥ G = K < T Here, we can see the opposite sign between C and T , thus no relationship can be established between them. Hence conclusion II does not follow. For Concl
