Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the various statements which is followed by three conclusions. Choose the correct answer on the basis of information given below. Statements: G ≤ S = Q ≤ P , R > G ≥ I = A , N < M < A < B Conclusions: Q > R , S > B , M < G
Options
- ANone of the conclusions follows
- BOnly conclusion III follows
- CEither conclusion I or II follows
- DOnly conclusion III and either conclusion I or II follows
Correct answer
B. Only conclusion III follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements: G ≤ S = Q ≤ P , R > G ≥ I = A , N < M < A < B Conclusions: Q > R , S > B , M < G For conclusion I: Q > R From statements I and II, we get: R > G ≤ S = Q Here, we can see the common sign between Q and R, thus no relationship can be established between them. Hence conclusion I does not follow. For conclusion II: S > B From statements I, II and III, we get: S ≥ G ≥ I = A < B Here, we can see the common sign between S and B, thus no relationship can be established between them. Hence concl
