Given Relationship:
6779>5862<8241=5789, 57897145=3914
Inferences:
I. 6779<5789
II. 39148241

Options

A

Neither inference I nor II holds true

B

Both inferences I and II hold true

C

Only inference II holds true

D

Either inference I or II holds true

E

Only inference I holds true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Neither inference I nor II holds true

Solution :

Correct Answer: Neither inference I nor II holds true


Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let us analyze the given mathematical relationships step by step.


Given Relationships:

1. 6779>5862<8241=5789

2. 57897145=3914


Combining the expressions, we get the relationship chain:

6779>5862<8241=57897145=3914


Analysis of Inference I:

Inference I states: 6779<5789

From the combined relation between 6779 and 5789:

6779>5862<8241=5789

Notice that between 6779 and 5789, the signs are opposite (> and <). Therefore, no definite relationship can be established between 6779 and 5789.

Thus, Inference I does not follow.


Analysis of Inference II:

Inference II states: 39148241

From the given chain:

8241=57897145=3914

This implies that 82413914, which means 39148241.

Inference II claims 39148241, which is not definitely true (it could only be true if 3914 = 8241, but we cannot conclude greater than or equal to in that direction).

Thus, Inference II does not hold true.


Conclusion:

Neither inference I nor inference II holds true.
