In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements which are followed by conclusions. Study the conclusions based on the given statements and select the appropriate answer.
Question 1:
Statement:
D < T = Y ; N > T ≥ X ; D ≥ A = B
Conclusions:
I: B < Y
II: X < Y
A) Only Conclusion I follows
B) Only Conclusion II follows
C) Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows
D) Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow
E) Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Answer: A
Explanation: The relationship between B and Y can be written as B = A ≤ D < T = Y Here, B is definitely less than Y. The relationship between X and Y can be written as X ≤ T = Y Here, X can be either less than Y or equal to Y. Hence, Conclusion II cannot be concluded. Therefore, Only Conclusion I follows.
Question 2:
Statement:
P < T > R ; S ≥ X = M ; X ≥ T ≤ N
Conclusions:
I: N < X
II: M ≤ N
A) Only Conclusion I follows
B) Only Conclusion II follows
C) Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows
D) Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow
E) Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Answer: C
Explanation: The relationship between N and X can be written as X ≥ T ≤ N Here, The relation cannot be established. Since X = M, replacing X by M in the above expression, M ≥ T ≤ N. Here, M can be either greater than or equal to or less than N. If we replace X by M in Conclusion I, we get both the conclusions as N < M (or) M > N M ≤ N. Therefore, Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows.
Instructions
The following statements and conclusions have been given.Based on the statements choose the correct option as per the data provided
Question 3:
Statement:
9>11>12>17; 12≥10≤8
Conclusions:
I: 11≥8
II: 9>8
A) Only Conclusion I follows
B) Only Conclusion II follows
C) Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows
D) Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow
E) Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Answer: E
Explanation:
from the statements we have ;
9>11>12≥10≤8 We don’t have the exact relation between 9 and 8 and 11 and 8 so both the statements will be false
Question 4:
Statement:
F>D<A=E>B≤G≤C
Conclusions:
I: A≥C
II: E<C
A) Only Conclusion I follows
B) Only Conclusion II follows
C) Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows
D) Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow
E) Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Answer: C
Explanation:
from the statements we have ;
F>D<A=E>B≤G≤C As A=E and we don’t have the exact sign between E and C so either of the statements can be true.
Question 5:
Statement:
A=B>C<D; C<E<F
Conclusions:
I: A<E
II: D<F
A) Only Conclusion I follows
B) Only Conclusion II follows
C) Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows
D) Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow
E) Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Answer: E
Explanation:
from the statements we have ;
A=B>C<E<F and D>C<E<F
We don’t have the exact equality sign between A and E and D and F so both the conclusions will be false.
