Question Details

Statements: H < I < J = C; N ≤ T ≤ L; P > S ≥ L = J

Conclusions : I. H < P II. N < S

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

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 both conclusions I and II are true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

If only conclusion I is true

Solution :

The correct option is If only conclusion I is true.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


Given Statements:

1. H<I<J=C

2. NTL

3. P>SL=J


Combining the relevant elements:

From Statement 3, we have: P>SL=J

From Statement 1, we have: J>I>H

Combining these gives the chain: P>SL=J>I>H


Analyzing Conclusion I: H<P

Looking at the relationship chain: P>SL=J>I>H

Comparing P and H, all inequality signs point in the direction showing that P is strictly greater than H, which means P>H or H<P.

Hence, Conclusion I is true.


Analyzing Conclusion II: N<S

From Statement 2, we know: NTL, which implies NL.

From Statement 3, we know: SL, which is equivalent to LS.

Combining these gives: NLS

This tells us that NS (N can be less than or equal to S). However, Conclusion II states strictly N<S, which is not definitely true because N could also be equal to S.

Hence, Conclusion II is false.


Conclusion:

Only Conclusion I is true.
