Conclusions:
I. B > L
II. F < H

Options

A

Only conclusion I is true

B

Both conclusions I and II are true

C

Neither conclusion I nor II is true

D

Only conclusion II is true

E

Either conclusion I or II is true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Neither conclusion I nor II is true

Solution :

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II is true

To determine which of the conclusions logically follow, let us analyze the given mathematical relationships step-by-step.

Given Statement:
B > M > F ≤ P < Q
L > M > H

Analysis of Conclusion I: B > L
Let us find the relationship between B and L.
From the given statements, we know that:
B > M and L > M (which means M < L).
Combining these through common element M, we get:
B > M < L
Since there are opposite inequality signs ( > and < ) between B and L, no definite relationship can be established between B and L.
Therefore, Conclusion I (B > L) is not true.

Analysis of Conclusion II: F < H
Let us find the relationship between F and H.
From the given statements, we know that:
M > F (which means F < M) and L > M > H (which gives M > H).
Combining these through common element M, we get:
F < M > H
Since there are opposite inequality signs ( < and > ) between F and H, no definite relationship can be established between F and H.
Therefore, Conclusion II (F < H) is not true.

Since neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II logically follows, the correct choice is Neither conclusion I nor II is true.
