Question 280

LIC Assistant 2022• Reasoning Ability

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

Statement: V > D = E > W < Q; V = I < O > P

Conclusion:

I. O > W

II. E < P

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion I follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusion I or II follows

  3. COption (c)

  4. DOption (d)

    Either I or II follows

  5. EOption (e)

    Neither conclusions I nor II follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only conclusion I follows

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: V > D = E > W < Q; V = I < O > P

On combination: P < O > I = V > D = E > W < Q

Conclusion

I. O > W → True (as O > I = V > D = E > W)

II. E < P → False (as P < O > I = V > D = E)

Hence, only conclusion I follows.
