Question Details

In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer.

Statements:

M D = K P = F V = L

Conclusions:

I: D > V

II: K < L

Options

A

If only conclusion I is true

B

If only conclusion II is true

C

If either conclusion I or II is true

D

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

If either conclusion I or II is true

Solution :

The correct option is If either conclusion I or II is true.

To determine the correct relationship between the elements, let us analyze the given statements step-by-step.

Given Statement:

M D = K P = F V = L

From the statement, we can observe the following direct equivalences:
1. D=K
2. V=L

Now let us evaluate the relationship between the pairs of elements mentioned in the conclusions.

Analysis of Conclusion I:
Conclusion I states: D > V
Using the equivalences D=K and V=L, Conclusion I can also be rewritten as: K > L

Analysis of Conclusion II:
Conclusion II states: K < L

Connecting D (or K) and V (or L):
Tracing the inequality chain from K to L: K P = F V = L
Since opposite sign symbols ( and ) appear between K and L, no definite single relationship can be established between them.

However, when comparing two variables where no fixed relation is established and both conclusions feature identical subjects and predicates (K and L), the complementary comparison directions form an "either-or" condition.

Therefore, either conclusion I or II is true.
