Question Details

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

Statements:

D K < H = 0 ; N > J H ; P K < Y

Conclusions:

I. N > K

II. P < D

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 answer is If only conclusion I is true.

Given Statements:
1. DK<H=0
2. N>JH
3. PK<Y

Let us evaluate each conclusion step-by-step:

Evaluating Conclusion I: N>K
From Statement 2, we have: N>JH, which implies N>H.
From Statement 1, we have: K<H, which is equivalent to H>K.
Combining these relations through element H gives: N>H>K.
Therefore, N>K is definitely true.
Thus, Conclusion I is true.

Evaluating Conclusion II: P<D
From Statement 1, we have: DK.
From Statement 3, we have: PK.
Here, both D and P are greater than or equal to K. Since there is no direct inequality relation established between P and D (the comparison signs point away from each other at K), no definitive relationship between P and D can be determined.
Thus, Conclusion II is false.

Hence, only conclusion I follows.
