Question Details

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

Statements:

A < M Y = P > Z D

Conclusions:

I: Z < M

II: P>A

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 B

If only conclusion II is true

Solution :

The correct answer is: If only conclusion II is true


Given Statement:

A < M Y = P > Z D


Let us analyze each conclusion one by one based on the given inequality chain:


Analysis of Conclusion I:

We need to check the relation between Z and M.

From the statement, the path between M and Z is:

M Y = P > Z

Combining these, we get: M ≤ P and P > Z.

Since the inequality signs between M and Z point in opposite directions (≤ and >), no definite relationship can be established between Z and M. Therefore, Conclusion I (Z < M) is false (not necessarily true).


Analysis of Conclusion II:

We need to check the relation between P and A.

From the statement, the path between A and P is:

A < M Y = P

Combining the relations along the path from A to P:

A < P

This can also be written as P > A. Therefore, Conclusion II (P > A) is definitely true.


Hence, only conclusion II follows.
