Question Details

For the query below, evaluate the relations given in the statements and determine which of the two conclusions (I and II) is/are logically correct.

Statements:
P > M ≥ I < Z; S ≤ I = K > W
Conclusions:
I. S ≤ M
II. Z > W

Options

A

If only conclusion II logically follows

B

If neither conclusion I nor conclusion II logically follows

C

If only conclusion I logically follows

D

If both conclusions I and II logically follow

E

If either conclusion I or conclusion II logically follows

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

If both conclusions I and II logically follow

Solution :

Correct Answer: If both conclusions I and II logically follow


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


Given Statements:

1. P>MI<Z

2. SI=K>W


We can combine these statements using the common element I:

P>MI=K>W and SI<Z


Evaluating Conclusion I: SM

From the combined statements, we trace the relation between S and M through I:

SI and MI (which is equivalent to IM).

Combining these gives: SIM

Therefore, SM is true. Conclusion I logically follows.


Evaluating Conclusion II: Z>W

From the combined statements, we trace the relation between Z and W through I:

Z>I (or I<Z) and I=K>W (which gives I>W).

Since Z>I and I>W, combining them yields: Z>I>W

Therefore, Z>W is true. Conclusion II logically follows.


Since both conclusions I and II are correct, the correct choice is If both conclusions I and II logically follow.
