View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

None is True

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: B ≤ E ≤ M; A > P ≥ X; A = B

On combining: X ≤ P < A = B ≤ E ≤ M

Conclusions:

I. X ≤ E → False (X ≤ P < A = B ≤ E → X < E)

II. M ≥ P → False (P < A = B ≤ E ≤ M → P < M)

Thus, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

Only II is True

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: U < F ≤ P; N > Q ≥ W; F = W

On combining:  U < F = W ≤ P; W = F ≤ Q < N

Conclusions:

I. N ≥ U → False (U < F = W and W = F ≤ Q < N → U < N)

II. U < Q → True (U < F = W and W = F ≤ Q → U < Q)

Thus, only conclusion II is true.
