Question Details

Read the following statements carefully and the two conclusions numbered I and II that follow them. Assume the statements are true even if they contradict everyday facts, and then decide which conclusion(s) logically follow.

Statements:
F = R ≥ Q < P; H > Q ≤ J
Conclusions:
I. H > R
II. J ≥ F

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 conclusion I and II are true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Solution :

The correct answer is If neither conclusion I nor II is true.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let's analyze the given statements and check each conclusion individually.

Given Statements:
1. F=RQ<P
2. H>QJ

We can combine the relevant parts of the statements by using the common element, Q.

Checking Conclusion I: H>R
From statement 1, we have: RQ, which means QR.
From statement 2, we have: H>Q.
Combining these gives the relationship between H and R through Q:
H>QR

Since the inequality signs between H and R are in opposite directions (> and ), no definite relationship can be established between H and R.
Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow.

Checking Conclusion II: JF
From statement 1, we have: F=RQ, so FQ, which means QF.
From statement 2, we have: QJ.
Combining these gives the relationship between J and F through Q:
JQF

Since the inequality signs between J and F are in opposite directions ( and ), no definite relationship can be established between J and F.
Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow.

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