Directions: In each of the following questions assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the conclusions among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.
Statement: S > L < P = T ≥ V > R
Conclusions:
I. P > R
II. S > V
Correct Answer :
Only Conclusion I follows
Solution :
The correct answer is Only Conclusion I follows.
Let us analyze the given statement step-by-step to evaluate each conclusion.
Given Statement:
Evaluating Conclusion I: P > R
To check the relation between P and R, extract the path from P to R from the statement:
Since all the relational signs (, , ) point in the same direction towards R, and there is a strict inequality sign (), we can conclude that:
Thus, Conclusion I is definitely true.
Evaluating Conclusion II: S > V
To check the relation between S and V, extract the path from S to V from the statement:
Notice the signs between S and P: and . The inequality signs between S and V are in opposite directions ( and ). When opposite signs appear between two elements, no definite relationship can be established between them.
Thus, Conclusion II does not follow.
Therefore, only Conclusion I follows.
