Question Details

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

Statements:

E > V > D J ,

V > R S = F

Conclusions:

I.   E > F  

II.   J S  

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

E

If both conclusions I and II are true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

If only conclusion I is true

Solution :

The correct option is If only conclusion I is true.

Step-by-step Explanation:

We are given two statements:

E > V > D J

V > R S = F

Let's analyze each conclusion one by one:

Checking Conclusion I: E > F
To find the relation between E and F, combine the common element V from both statements:
From statement 1: E > V
From statement 2: V > R ≥ S = F
Combining these gives: E > V > R ≥ S = F.
Since all inequality signs point in the same direction from E to F, E > F holds true strictly.
Therefore, Conclusion I is true.

Checking Conclusion II: J ≥ S
To find the relation between J and S, combine the path from J through D and V to S:
From statement 1: J ≥ D < V
From statement 2: V > R ≥ S
Notice the relationship between J and V: J ≥ D < V. The inequality symbols between J and V are opposite (≥ and <).
Because the signs are in opposite directions, no definite relationship can be established between J and S.
Therefore, Conclusion II is false.

Since only conclusion I follows, the correct answer is If only conclusion I is true.
