Question Details

In the following question, study the given relationship among the variables and analyze the validity of the two conclusions that follow. Select the appropriate option based on your analysis.

Statements:

A ≥ B = C ≥ D = E ≤ F = G



Conclusions:
I. B > F
II. C < G

Options

A

Optionally true / If only conclusion II is true

B

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

C

If only conclusion I is true

D

If either conclusion I or II is true

E

If both conclusions I and II are true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

If either conclusion I or II is true

Solution :

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

Step-by-step Explanation:

Step 1: Analyze the given mathematical statement.
The statement establishing the relationships among variables is:
AB=CD=EF=G

Step 2: Simplify relations using equal variables.
From the given statement, we note the equalities:
B=C
and
F=G

Because B=C and F=G, any relation between B and F can be rewritten in terms of C and G:
• Conclusion I: B>F is equivalent to C>G.
• Conclusion II: C<G remains C<G.

Step 3: Combine relationships between C and G.
Tracing the statement path from C to G:
CD=EF=G
This reduces to:
CEG

Since the inequality symbols between C and G point in opposite directions ( and ), no single definite relation is guaranteed. The possible cases comparing C and G are:
1. C>G (which is equivalent to Conclusion I: B>F)
2. C<G (which is Conclusion II)
3. C=G

Step 4: Conclusion.
Since Conclusion I (B>F, i.e., C>G) and Conclusion II (C<G) represent the complementary relationship possibilities between the given variables, either Conclusion I or Conclusion II must be true.

Therefore, the correct option is If either conclusion I or II is true.
