Question 405

SBI Clerk 2024• Reasoning Ability• Reasoning Ability

Directions

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

Statement: U > T; X < U = Y; Y ≤ Q < R

Conclusions:

I) U > R

II) T < Q

AOption (a)
Only Conclusion I follows
BOption (b)
Only Conclusion II follows
COption (c)
Both I and II follow
DOption (d)
Either I or II follows
EOption (e)
Neither I nor II follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

B.

Only Conclusion II follows

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statement:

U > T; X < U = Y; Y ≤ Q < R

On combining: X < U = Y ≤ Q < R; U > T

Conclusions:

I) U > R → False (As, X < U = Y ≤ Q < R → There is definite relation between U and R).

II) T < Q → True (As, T < U = Y ≤ Q < R → T < Q).

Hence, Only II follows.

Question 406

SBI Clerk 2024• Reasoning Ability• Reasoning Ability

Directions

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.

Statements:

A < J > B ≤ I < C = H ≤ D = E ≤ F ≥ G = Z

Conclusions:

I. C < F

II. H = F

AOption (a)
Only I is True
BOption (b)
Only II is True
COption (c)
Both I and II are True
DOption (d)
Either I or II is True
EOption (e)
Neither I nor II is True

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

D.

Either I or II is True

Why this answer is correct

**Given

Statements:

** A < J > B ≤ I < C = H ≤ D = E ≤ F ≥ G = Z

Conclusions:

I. C < F → False (C = H ≤ D = E ≤ F → C ≤ F)

II. H = F → False (H ≤ D = E ≤ F → H ≤ F)

For either - or condition,

C ≤ F means C < F or C = F

Here, C = H

so conclusion II can be written as C = F

So, conclusion 1 and conclusion 2 forms complementary pair.

Hence, Either I or II is True is the correct answer.

Confusion Points

Here, C = H so conclusion II can be written as C = F When two elements are equal, then they are replaceable. So, conclusion 1 and conclusion 2 form complementary pairs.

None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

D.

Both I and II are true

Why this answer is correct

Statement:

B < S ≤ Q < Y = X > C ≥ J

i) S < Y ⇒ True (as S ≤ Q < Y ⇒ S < Y)

ii) X > B ⇒ True (as B < S ≤ Q < Y = X ⇒ B < X ⇒ X > B)

Hence, Both I and II are true.
