Question Details

Directions: In the following question, statements show relationships between different elements. Read the statements and choose the correct conclusion(s) that logically follow.

Statements:
M > N ≥ O ≤ P; O > Q = R

Conclusions:
I. P > R
II. N > Q

Options

A

If either conclusion I or II is true.

B

If only conclusion I is true.

C

If only conclusion II is true.

D

If neither conclusion I nor II is true.

E

If both conclusions I and II are true.

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

If both conclusions I and II are true.

Solution :

The correct answer is If both conclusions I and II are true.

Given Statements:

M>NOP

O>Q=R

Analysis of Conclusion I: P>R

From the first statement, the relationship between P and O is:

PO

From the second statement, since O>Q and Q=R, we derive:

O>R

Combining these two inequalities gives:

PO>R

Since P is greater than or equal to O, and O is strictly greater than R, it logically follows that P>R. Thus, Conclusion I is true.

Analysis of Conclusion II: N>Q

From the first statement, the relationship between N and O is:

NO

From the second statement, the relationship between O and Q is:

O>Q

Combining these two inequalities gives:

NO>Q

Since N is greater than or equal to O, and O is strictly greater than Q, it logically follows that N>Q. Thus, Conclusion II is true.

Since both Conclusion I and Conclusion II logically follow from the given statements, the correct option is If both conclusions I and II are true.
