Conclusions:

I. F>K

II. DA



Which of the following options correctly describes the validity of the conclusions?

Options

A

If either conclusion I or II is true

B

If only conclusion II is true

C

If only conclusion I is true

D

If both conclusions I and II are true

E

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

If only conclusion I is true

Solution :

The correct answer is If only conclusion I is true.

Given Statement:

A>MK<D=W≤;F<R

We will evaluate the logical validity of each conclusion step-by-step by analyzing the relationships between the elements.

1. Analysis of Conclusion I:

F>K

To determine the relation between K and F, extract the relevant path from the main statement:

K<D=W≤;F

Since D=W, we can substitute W in place of D:

K<W≤;F

Combining the inequalities (< and ≤; point in the same direction, where < takes priority), we get:

K<F

Flipping the inequality gives:

F>K

Thus, Conclusion I is true.

2. Analysis of Conclusion II:

D≤;A

To determine the relation between A and D, extract the relevant path from the main statement:

A>MK<D

Observe the direction of the inequality signs between A and D:

From A to K, we have A>K.

From K to D, we have K<D.

Because the symbols between A and D face opposite directions (> and <), no definite relationship can be established between A and D.

Thus, Conclusion II is not true.

Final Verdict:

Since only Conclusion I logically follows from the given statement, the correct answer is If only conclusion I is true.
