Question Details

Directions: In the following question, the relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Read the given statements carefully and select the appropriate answer option.

Statements: J > K ≥ L = M ≤ N < P; Q ≥ L = R ≤ S > T

Conclusions:
I. S ≥ N
II. R < P

Options

A

If either conclusion I or II is true

B

If only conclusion I is true

C

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

D

If both conclusions I and II are true

E

If only conclusion II is true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

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:

We are given the following statements showing relationships between elements:

Statement 1: J>KL=MN<P

Statement 2: QL=RS>T

Let us analyze each conclusion step-by-step:

1. Analysis of Conclusion I: SN

To find the relationship between S and N, we combine the relevant parts from both statements using the common element L:

From Statement 2: L=RS, which gives SL.

From Statement 1: L=MN, which gives LN.

Combining these relations gives: SLN.

Since opposite inequality symbols ( and ) are present between S and N, no definite relationship can be established between them. Thus, Conclusion I does not follow.

2. Analysis of Conclusion II: R<P

Evaluating Conclusion II alongside Conclusion I against the provided options confirms that neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

Hence, the correct option is If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
