Question

In this question, a statement is followed by two conclusions. Which of the two conclusions is/are true with respect to the statement?

Statement: N > M < K = L ≥ I > J

Conclusions:
I. L > J
II. N > L

• A. Both conclusions I and II are true
• B. Only conclusion II is true
• C. Only conclusion I is true
• D. Neither conclusion I nor II is true

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Only conclusion I is true

Conclusion I is true, while Conclusion II is false.

Statement: N > M < K = L ≥ I > J

---

Evaluation of Conclusions:

• I. L > J (True):
  Looking at the path from L to J (L ≥ I > J), the inequality symbols point consistently in the same direction. Because a strict inequality (>) is present in the path, L is definitely strictly greater than J.

• II. N > L (False / Undetermined):
  Looking at the path from N to L (N > M < K = L), the inequality signs flip directions between M and K (> and <). When signs oppose like this, no definite relationship can be established between the two variables.
