Conclusions:  

I. R < K

II. R > D

  1. AOption (a)

    Only I follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II follows

  3. COption (c)

    Either I or Ii follows

  4. DOption (d)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only II follows

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: F > H = K > L; D ≤ P < R = F

By combining: D ≤ P < R = F > H = K > L

Conclusions:

I. R < K → False (as R = F > H = K, implies R > K)

II. R > D → True (as D ≤ P < R, implies R > D) 

Hence, only II follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: D ≤ E = L < M; U = L ≥ O > S 

By combining: D ≤ E = L ≥ O > S; U = L < M

Conclusions: 

I. E > S → True (as E = L ≥ O > S, implies E > S) 

II. U < M → True (as U = L < M, implies U < M)

Hence, Both I and II follows.

Question 373

IBPS RRB Office Assistant (Clerk) 2025• Reasoning Ability

Directions

In the following question assuming the statements to be true, find the conclusion which is/are correct and answer accordingly.

Statements: N ≤ Q; M > B; Q = R < O < M

Conclusions:

I. N < O

II. Q ≤ M

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion I follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: N ≤ Q; M > B; Q = R < O < M

Combining: N ≤ Q = R < O < M > B

Conclusions:

I. N < O → True (as N ≤ Q = R < O → N < O)

II. Q ≤ M → False (as N ≤ Q = R < O < M → Q < M, thus Q ≤ M cannot be true)

Hence, only conclusion I follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    160

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

80

Why this answer is correct

Six persons: G, H, I, J, K and L.

  1. J is heavier than only two persons.

J > >

  1. K is heavier than only L and lighter than J

J > K > L

  1. I’s weight is less than only H’s weight.

H > I

The arrangement is H > I > G > J > K > L.

  1. The third heaviest weight is 150 kgs and the fifth heaviest weight is 70 kgs.

G = 150 and K = 70

The final arrangement is

H > I > G > J > K > L.

Hence, J is in between G and K so it may be 80kgs.
