Statements: S ≤ L ≤ I = P ≥ E > R; L > Q Conclusions: I. L < R II. E ≥ Q Which of the following is correct?

If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
If only conclusion I is true.
If both conclusions I and II are true.
If either conclusion I or II is true.

Correct answer: If neither conclusion I nor II is true.

Solution

From S ≤ L ≤ I = P ≥ E > R, we get L ≥ I ≥ E > R, so L < R is false. Also, L > Q and E may be greater than Q only if not forced otherwise; here E > R does not imply E ≥ Q, so conclusion II is also false. Hence neither conclusion follows.
