Question Details

Consider the following statements:
I. If A ≤ B > C < D > E > F ≥ G = H; then B is always greater than E.
II. If P > Q = R ≥ S = T ≤ U = V > W; then S is always less than V.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Options

A

I only

B

II only

C

Both I and II

D

Neither I nor II

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Neither I nor II

Solution :

The correct answer is Neither I nor II.


Step-by-Step Analysis:


Analysis of Statement I:

The given relation is:

AB>C<D>E>FG=H

We need to check the relationship between B and E.

Looking at the path from B to E: B>C<D>E

Notice the signs between B and D: we have a greater-than sign (>) followed by a less-than sign (<). When opposite inequality symbols appear between two variables, no definite relationship can be established between them.

Therefore, B is not necessarily greater than E. Thus, Statement I is incorrect.


Analysis of Statement II:

The given relation is:

P>Q=RS=TU=V>W

We need to check the relationship between S and V.

Looking at the path from S to V: S=TU=V

Combining these equalities and inequalities gives: SV

This means S can be less than V or S can be equal to V (SV). Therefore, S is not always strictly less than V, as the possibility of S=V

exists. Thus, Statement II is incorrect.


Since both statements are incorrect, the correct choice is Neither I nor II.
