Directions: In the following question, relationships between different elements are shown in the statements. Read the statements carefully and determine which of the conclusions logically follow:
Statements: P ≤ K > L > S = W; V = B ≥ N < J < W ≥ R
Conclusions:
I. R < K
II. V > P
Correct Answer :
Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Solution :
The correct answer is Neither conclusion I nor II is true.
Given Statements:
Step-by-step Evaluation:
1. Evaluation of Conclusion I:
To check the relationship between and , we trace the path connecting to through the common element :
From the second statement, , which means .
From the first statement, .
Combining the statements between and across the elements gives conflicting directional signs, preventing a definite relation from being established. Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow.
2. Evaluation of Conclusion II:
To check the relationship between and , we link the statements together:
From statement 2:
From statement 1:
Combining the full chain from to :
Since opposite comparison symbols ( and ) are present in the chain between and , no definite relation can be derived. Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow.
Since neither conclusion follows, the correct option is Neither conclusion I nor II is true.
