Question Details

Directions: In the given question, relationships between different elements are shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Select the appropriate answer based on the given statements.

Statements: P = Q > S = T ≥ V ≤ W; A > B ≥ S ≤ D < E

Conclusions:
I. B ≥ V
II. E > P

Options

A

If either conclusion I or II is true

B

If both conclusions I and II are true

C

If only conclusion II is true

D

If only conclusion I is true

E

If neither conclusion I nor II is true

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

If only conclusion I is true

Solution :

The correct answer is If only conclusion I is true.

Given Statements:
Statement 1: P = Q > S = T ≥ V ≤ W
Statement 2: A > B ≥ S ≤ D < E

Evaluating Conclusion I: B ≥ V

From Statement 2, we get the relationship between B and S:

BS

From Statement 1, we get the relationship between S and V:

S=TV

This implies:

SV

Combining both statements through the common element S, we get:

BSV

Therefore, the relation between B and V is:

BV

Hence, Conclusion I is true.

Evaluating Conclusion II: E > P

From Statement 2, the relationship between E and S is:

SD<E

This implies:

E>S

From Statement 1, the relationship between P and S is:

P=Q>S

This implies:

P>S

Since both E and P are greater than S (E>S and P>S), a direct relation between E and P cannot be established.

Hence, Conclusion II is false.

Thus, only conclusion I is true.
