Directions: In the following question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusions among the given conclusions is/are definitely true and then answer accordingly. Statement: $H > E = B \ge C$; $C < L \le W \ge K$ Conclusions: I. $B > T$ II. $K < W$ III. $W = K$

1. Both II and III are true
2. Only III is true
3. Only I is true
4. Either II or III is true

Correct answer: Either II or III is true

Solution

From $C < L \le W \ge K$, we can only conclude that $W$ is greater than or equal to $K$. So either $K < W$ or $W = K$ may be true, but not both definitely. Hence, the correct conclusion is that either II or III is true.
