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 follows.
Hence option C is correct.
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 follows.
Hence option C is correct.
