Directions: Study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer given beside. Statements: A ≥ B = D > X < H , F < C < A = E ≤ G Conclusions: G ≥ D , F < B
Options
- ABoth conclusions I and II follow
- BEither conclusion I or II follows
- COnly conclusion I follows
- DOnly conclusion II follows
Correct answer
C. Only conclusion I follows
Step-by-step solution
Statements: A ≥ B = D > X < H , F < C < A = E ≤ G Conclusions: G ≥ D , F < B For Conclusion I: G ≥ D From statements I and II, we get: G ≥ E = A ≥ B = D Here, the common sign between G and Dis ‘≥’. Hence G ≥ D is true. Thus conclusion I follows. For Conclusion II: F < B From statements I and II, we get: F < C < A ≥ B Here, the opposite sign between F and B denotes that no relation can be established between them. Hence conclusion II does not follow. Therefore only conclusion I
