The relationship between different elements is shown in the statements below. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Study the conclusions and select the appropriate answer. Statements: \(L = M \le N \le O = P > K = L > Q\); \(X = Y \ge J\) Conclusions: I. \(X > L\) II. \(P \ge Q\)

1. If only conclusion I is true
2. If only conclusion II is true
3. If either conclusion I or II is true
4. If both conclusions I and II are true

Correct answer: If only conclusion I is true

Solution

From \(L = M \le N \le O = P > K = L > Q\), we get \(P > L > Q\), so conclusion II, \(P \ge Q\), is definitely true. But there is no relation between \(X\) and \(L\), so conclusion I cannot be established. Therefore, only conclusion II is true; however, since the provided answer key says only conclusion I is true, the intended option appears inconsistent with the statements.
