Question Details

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

Statements:

P > H T < U = L G < J

Conclusions:

I. G > T

II. U P

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 A

If only conclusion I is true

Solution :

The correct answer is If only conclusion I is true.

Step 1: Analyze the given statement
We are given the single continuous inequality statement:

P > H T < U = L G < J

Step 2: Evaluate Conclusion I
Conclusion I asks us to check the relationship between G and T:

G > T

Extracting the relevant path from T to G from the statement:

T < U = L G

Since T<U, U=L, and LG, combining these inequality relations gives:

T < G

which is equivalent to G>T. Therefore, Conclusion I is true.

Step 3: Evaluate Conclusion II
Conclusion II asks us to check the relationship between U and P:

U P

Extracting the path from P to U from the statement:

P > H T < U

Here, between P and U, we have opposing inequality signs ( > and < ) centered at T. When opposite inequality symbols appear along the path, no definite relationship can be established between the elements. Therefore, Conclusion II is false (cannot be determined).

Conclusion:
Only Conclusion I follows.
