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 < BConclusions:& 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
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
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 conclusion II does not follow.
For conclusion III: M < GFrom statements II and III, we get:
G ≥ I = A > M
Here, common sign between G and M is '>'. Thus G > M or M < G.&
G ≥ I = A > M
Here, common sign between G and M is '>'. Thus G > M or M < G.&
Hence conclusion III follows.
Therefore Conclusion III follows.Hence option B is correct.
