Question 181

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

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.

Statements: P > A ≥ R; A = C ≤ H < U = T > E

Conclusion:

I. R = H

II. R < H

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion I is true

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion II is true

  3. COption (c)

    Both conclusions I and II are true

  4. DOption (d)

    Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true

  5. EOption (e)

    None of the conclusion is true

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: P > A ≥ R; A = C ≤ H < U = T > E

On combining: P > A = C ≥ R; R ≤ A = C ≤ H < U = T > E

Conclusions:

I. R = H → False (as R ≤ A = C ≤ H; R ≤ H)

II. R < H → False (as R ≤ A = C ≤ H; R ≤ H)

Note: conclusion I and II form a complimentary pair.

Hence, Either conclusion I or II is true.

Question 182

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

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.

Statements: O > U ≥ T ≤ G; R ≥ O > W

Conclusion:

I. R > G

II. W > U

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion I is true

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion II is true

  3. COption (c)

    Both conclusions I and II are true

  4. DOption (d)

    Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true

  5. EOption (e)

    None of the conclusion is true

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

None of the conclusion is true

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: O > U ≥ T ≤ G; R ≥ O > W

On combining: R ≥ O > U ≥ T ≤ G; R ≥ O > W

Conclusions:

I. R > G → False (as R ≥ O > U ≥ T ≤ G; as clear relation between R and G cannot be established)

II. W > U → False (as W < O > U; as clear relation between W and U cannot be established)

Hence, none of the conclusion is true.

Question 183

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

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.

Statements: P < E = N ≤ T; N ≤ S < U = L < A

Conclusion:

I. P < U

II. E ≤ S

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion I is true

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion II is true

  3. COption (c)

    Both conclusions I and II are true

  4. DOption (d)

    Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true

  5. EOption (e)

    None of the conclusion is true

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Both conclusions I and II are true

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: P < E = N ≤ T; N ≤ S < U = L < A

On combining: P < E = N ≤ T; P < E = N ≤ S < U = L < A

Conclusions:

I. P < U → true (as P < E = N < U → P < U)

II. E ≤ S → true (as E = N ≤ S → E ≤ S)

Hence, Both the conclusions I and II are true.
