Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Conclusion I is true.

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statement:

Y < U ≤ Q ≥ S >T = O > P

Conclusions:

I. P < Q → True as Q ≥ S >T = O > P, thus Q > P.

II. Y < S → False as Y < U ≤ Q ≥ S, thus there is no definite relation between them.

Hence, only conclusion I is true.

II. E < P → False as P ≤ M = U = S < E, P < E.

Hence, neither conclusion I nor II is true.

Question 553

IBPS RRB Office Assistant (Clerk) 2025• Reasoning• Reasoning

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.

Statement: A > K ≤ D; D < B; B > K ≤ C

Conclusions:

I. A < C

    Both I and II are true

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II

  3. COption (c)

    Only I is true

  4. DOption (d)

  5. EOption (e)

    Neither I nor II is true

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Neither I nor II is true

Why this answer is correct

Given: A > K ≤ D; D < B; B > K ≤ C

On combining: A > K ≤ D = C < B

I. A < C ⇒ False (as A > K ≤ D = C relation between A and C can’t be established)

II. A = C ⇒ (as A > K ≤ D = C relation between A and C can’t be established)

Hence, Neither I nor II is true.
