Question Details

Assuming the truth of the given statements, decide which of the proposed conclusions (I and II) is/are definitely correct, and choose the option that corresponds to your findings.

Statements:
O ≥ B = X < Q ≤ P < F > L ≥ Z
Conclusions:
I. F > B
II. X < L

Options

A

Neither conclusion I nor II is correct

B

Only conclusion I follows

C

Both conclusions I and II are correct

D

Either conclusion I or II is correct

E

Only conclusion II follows

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Only conclusion I follows

Solution :

Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


To determine which of the conclusions logically follow from the given statement, let us analyze the relationships between the elements step-by-step.


Given Statement:

OB=X<QP<F>LZ


Analyzing Conclusion I: F>B

Extracting the relationship path from B to F:

B=X<QP<F

Since all the inequality signs between B and F point in the same direction (< and ), and there is at least one strict inequality sign (<), we can conclude that:

B<F or F>B

Thus, Conclusion I is definitely correct.


Analyzing Conclusion II: X<L

Extracting the relationship path from X to L:

X<QP<F>L

Notice the inequality signs between X and L: we have < up to F, but then the sign flips to > between F and L. Because the inequality symbols are in opposite directions, no definite relationship can be established between X and L.

Thus, Conclusion II does not follow.


Conclusion:

Since only Conclusion I is true, the correct choice is Only conclusion I follows.
