Conclusions: 

I. G > B

II. B > D

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion I follows.

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion II follows.

  3. COption (c)

    Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    Both the conclusions follow.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Neither of the conclusions follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: G < L; D ≥ G; H = L; H ≤ B

Combining: D ≥ G < L = H ≤ B

Conclusions:

I. G > B → False (as G < L = H ≤ B → G > B cannot be true)

II. B > D → False (as D ≥ G < L = H ≤ B → no relation between B and D can be determined)

Hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
