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 :

The correct option is If both conclusions I and II logically follow.

Let us analyze the given statements step-by-step to check the validity of both conclusions.

Given Statements:

1. P>MI<Z
2. SI=K>W

We can combine these statements using the common element I:

P>MI=K>W
SI<Z

Evaluating Conclusion I: SM

From the combined statements, the relationship between M and S is derived through I:

MI and SI (which is equivalent to IS)

Combining these gives:

MIS

Therefore, MS, which means SM. Hence, Conclusion I logically follows.

Evaluating Conclusion II: Z>W

From the statements, the relationship between Z and W is derived through I and K:

Z>I (or I<Z) and I=K>W

Replacing I with K, we have Z>K>W.

Therefore, Z>W. Hence, Conclusion II also logically follows.

Since both conclusions I and II are correct, the statement "If both conclusions I and II logically follow" is the correct answer.
