In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is /are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.

Statement: M > U > L ≤ N; L ≥ Y > A

Conclusions:

I. Y < N

II. Y = N

  1. AOption (a)

    Both I and II are true

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II

  3. COption (c)

    Only I is true

  4. DOption (d)

    Either I or II is true

  5. EOption (e)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Either I or II is true

Why this answer is correct

Given: M > U > L ≤ N; L ≥ Y > A

On combining: M > U > L ≥ Y > A; N ≥ L ≥ Y > A

I. Y < N ⇒ False (as N ≥ L ≥ Y so it is also possible that N = Y)

II. Y = N ⇒ False (as N ≥ L ≥ Y so it is also possible that N > Y)

Here conclusion I and II form complimentary pair.

Therefore, either conclusion I or II follows.

I. M = T → False (as M ≥ O ≥ G = R ≥ N = T → M ≥ T).

II. T ˂ M → False (as M ≥ O ≥ G = R ≥ N = T → M ≥ T)

Here, conclusions I and II form a complementary pair.

So, either conclusion I or II follows.

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

175

Why this answer is correct

Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T, and U 

T is lighter than only one person

U is heavier than S but lighter than Q. R is heavier than Q.

Order is: R > Q > U > S

since S is not the lightest one, P is lightest among them and R will be Heaviest.

T + R = 230 

R = 117

Hence, T = 113.

S + U = 120 

S = 58

Hence, U = 62.

T + U = 113 + 62 = 175

Hence, the summation of weights of the T and U is 175.

Answer: (b)B.

B

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

N 6 & F K ~ G U 7 S # A 8 Z T * E W P 5 B € X @ J Z H 4 I ^ 3 V O 2 C

As Left – Left = Left

⇒ 6th from the Left – 27th to the Left = 21st from the Left

Now, N 6 & F K ~ G U 7 S # A 8 Z T * E W P 5 B € X @ J Z H 4 I ^ 3 V O 2 C

Clearly, 21st from the Left is B.
