Logical Reasoning(SBI-PO) Coded inequality

Directions: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Choose the correct answer for inequality given below:

Statements: H = I < J, I = K > L ≥ M, L > F ≤ S < T

Conclusions: I. H > M II. K > S

Only conclusion I follows.

Only conclusion II follows.

Both conclusions follow.

Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.

Neither of the conclusions follows.

Explanation:

Only conclusion I follows.
Option A, is hence the correct answer.
Common explanation:
There is a priority order of the symbols according to which the priority of
the symbol is decided to reach the conclusion. Whenever there are two or
more type of symbols are there between two objects whose relation is to
be determine we have to use this order.
If the direction of sign is opposite between that two objects, no relation can
be stated perfectly and we have to say that it does not follow.
Priority Order:
1. > and <
2. ≥ and ≤
3. =
For conclusion I: H > M
Combining statements I and II:
H = I = K > L ≥ M
As, “>”, is the highest priority sign in the combination so, “H > M”, is the
true relation between H and M.
Hence, Conclusion I follows.
For conclusion II: K > S
Combining statements II and III:
K > L > F ≤ S
As, sign between “K” and “S” are in different direction so, this conclusion does not follow.
