Direction: In the following question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below definitely follows. Statement: K > Q > E \ge T = U \ge D \le Y; S = A \ge T; Conclusions: I. S = D II. A > D
- Only conclusion I is true
- Only conclusion II is true
- Both conclusion I and II are true
- Either conclusion I or II is true
Correct answer: Either conclusion I or II is true
Solution
From the statements, S = A \ge T and T = U \ge D, so S and A are both greater than or equal to D. However, equality between S and D is also possible if all linked values are equal. Thus, exactly one of the two conclusions must be true, but we cannot say which one definitely.
