Why this answer is correct

Given

Statement:

  • Y = K ≥ V ≤G = C

Conclusions:-

a. K ≤ G – False (when we find path from K to G we get K ≥ V ≤G , so we can’t find definite relation between K and G, so this conclusion holds false).

b. K > G – False (when we find path from K to G we get K ≥ V ≤G, so we can’t find definite relation between K and G, so this conclusion holds false).

Here, our both Conclusion holds false and all the conditions of “either-or” Or Satisfies, so our answer is Either K ≤ G or K > G.

The correct answer is Either Conclusion (a) or (b) follows.
