Statements: P < K, B ≥ D, K = E, H > B, P ≤ G, E > T, D = G
Conclusions: (i) K > T (ii) B > P (iii) B = P
Only conclusion (i) follows
Incorrect AnswerBoth conclusions (i) and (ii) follow
Incorrect AnswerBoth A and D follows
Correct AnswerEither conclusion (ii) or (iii) follows
Incorrect AnswerNone of the conclusions follow
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Statements: P < K, B ≥ D, K = E, H > B, P ≤ G, E > T, D = G
Conclusions: (i) K > T (ii) B > P (iii) B = P
By combining all the statements, we get the following equation:
H > B ≥ D = G ≥ P < K = E > T
For conclusion (i): K > T
Here, the common sign between K and T is '>'. Thus K > T.
Hence conclusion (i) follows.
For conclusion (ii): B ≥ P
Here, the common sign between B and P is '≥'. Thus B ≥ P.
Thus conclusion (ii) does not follow individually.
For conclusion (iii): B = P
Here, the common sign between B and P is '≥'. Thus B ≥ P.
Therefore conclusion (iii) does not follow individually.
On combining conclusions (ii) and (iii) we get : B ≥ P
Therefore either conclusion (ii) or conclusion (iii) follows and conclusion (i) follows.
