Question 491

DSSSB Assistant Superintendent 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

In this question, a statement is followed by two conclusions. Find out which conclusion is true based on the given statement.

Statement:

T < N < A < Q > K

Conclusions:

I. K > N

II.T < Q

  1. AOption (a)

    Only I is true

  2. BOption (b)

    Neither I nor II is true

  3. COption (c)

    Only II is true

  4. DOption (d)

    Both I and II are true

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only II is true

Why this answer is correct

**Given

Statement:

**

T < N < A < Q > K

Conclusions:

I: K > N → False (From the statement, N < A < Q and K < Q, but no definite relationship can be established between K and N.)

II: T < Q → True (Since T < N < A < Q, therefore T < Q.)

Therefore, only Conclusion II is true.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

Some screwdrivers are gloves.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some pliers are gloves → Does not follow (Because there is no direct definite relation between pliers and gloves in the least possible diagram, so it is only a possibility.)

II. All gloves are screwdrivers → Does not follow (Because only some screwdrivers are gloves is given, so all gloves being screwdrivers is a possibility but not a certain fact.)

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.
