Question Details

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

Options

A

Only Conclusion I follows

B

Only Conclusion II follows

C

Either Conclusion I or II follows

D

Neither Conclusion I nor II follows

E

Both Conclusion I and II follows

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

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:

S>L<P=TV>R


Evaluating Conclusion I: P > R

To check the relation between P and R, extract the path from P to R from the statement:

P=TV>R

Since all the relational signs (=, , >) point in the same direction towards R, and there is a strict inequality sign (>), we can conclude that:

P>R

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:

S>L<P=TV

Notice the signs between S and P: S>L and L<P. 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.
