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: 7 > 5 < 9 ≥ 3; 4 > 5 ≥ 0 < 2; 6 > 8 ≤ 4 > 1
Conclusions: I. 7 > 6 II. 1 > 2

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 D

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Solution :

Correct Answer: If neither conclusion I nor II is true


To determine the validity of the given conclusions, let us analyze the relationships between the elements present in the statements step-by-step.

Given Statements:

1. 7 > 5 < 9 ≥ 3

2. 4 > 5 ≥ 0 < 2

3. 6 > 8 ≤ 4 > 1


Analysis of Conclusion I: 7 > 6

To evaluate the relationship between 7 and 6, we need to connect the statements containing 7 and 6:

From Statement 1: 7 > 5

From Statement 2: 4 > 5 (which means 5 < 4)

From Statement 3: 6 > 8 ≤ 4 (which gives 4 ≥ 8 < 6)

Combining the path from 7 to 6:

7 > 5 < 4 ≥ 8 < 6

Since opposite inequality symbols (> and <) are present in the path between 7 and 6 (specifically 7 > 5 and 5 < 4), no definite relationship can be established between 7 and 6.

Therefore, Conclusion I (7 > 6) is False.


Analysis of Conclusion II: 1 > 2

To evaluate the relationship between 1 and 2, we need to connect the statements containing 1 and 2:

From Statement 3: 4 > 1 (which means 1 < 4)

From Statement 2: 4 > 5 ≥ 0 < 2

Combining the path from 1 to 2:

1 < 4 > 5 ≥ 0 < 2

Since opposite inequality symbols (< and >) are present in the path between 1 and 2 (specifically 1 < 4 and 4 > 5), no definite relationship can be established between 1 and 2.

Therefore, Conclusion II (1 > 2) is False.


Conclusion:

Since neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II is true, the correct choice is If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
