Question Details

In this question, the relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by conclusions. Study the conclusions based on the given statement and select the appropriate answer.

Statements: M ≤ O > T > R > E; N = H ≤ R > K < U
Conclusions
:

I. E > N

II. H ≥ E

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 C

If either conclusion I or II is true

Solution :

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


Let's analyze the given statements step-by-step to check the validity of the conclusions.


Given Statements:
1. MO>T>R>E
2. N=HR>K<U


Combining the statements involving E, R, H, and N:
From statement 1, the relationship between R and E is:
R>E
From statement 2, the relationship between R, H, and N is:
RH=N


Combining these relations centered around R:
E<RH=N


Since R is greater than E (R>E) and R is greater than or equal to H (RH), as well as N (RN), we compare E with H and N:
Because both E and H (or N) are less than or equal to R, no definite single inequality relation (like strictly greater or strictly less) can be formed directly between E and H (or N) without considering all possibilities.


Specifically, the possible relations between E and N (or H) are:
1. E>N
2. EN (which is equivalent to HE because N=H).


Now, let's examine the two given conclusions:


Conclusion I: E > N
Conclusion II: H ≥ E


Since N=H, Conclusion II (HE) can also be written as NE, which means EN.


Together, Conclusion I (E>N) and Conclusion II (EN) cover all possible mathematical relations between E and N. Exactly one of these two conditions must be true.


Therefore, either conclusion I or II is true.
