Hence, four such pairs are there in the number ‘857169224’, each of which has as many digits between them in the number (both forward and backward direction) as they have between them in the natural number series.

Question 492

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Direction: 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: M < U ≥ Y > D; X ≥ B > U

Conclusions:

I. M < X

II. B > D

  1. AOption (a)

    Only II is True

  2. BOption (b)

    Neither I nor II is True

    Either I or II is True

  5. EOption (e)

    Only I is True

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Both I and II are True

Why this answer is correct

Given statements: M < U ≥ Y > D; X ≥ B > U

On combining: X ≥ B > U > M; X ≥ B > U ≥ Y > D

Conclusions:

I. M < X → True (as X ≥ B > U > M → X > M)

II. B > D → True (as B > U ≥ Y > D → B > D)

Hence, Both I and II are True.

Question 493

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: M > A ≥ T > F = Y ≤ S < P

Conclusions:

I. F < P

  1. AOption (a)

    Only I is True.

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II is True.

  3. COption (c)

    Both I and II are True.

    Either I or II is True.

  5. EOption (e)

    None is True.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only I is True.

Why this answer is correct

Given statements : M > A ≥ T > F = Y ≤ S < P 

Conclusions: 

I: F < P → True ( as F = Y ≤ S < P → F < P )

II: A > S → False ( as A ≥ T > F = Y ≤ S → A > Y and Y ≤ S ) → thus clear relation between A and S cannot be determined

Therefore, only conclusion I is True.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Neither I nor II is True

Why this answer is correct

Given statements:  A ≥ B ≤ C > D > E < F = K ≥ M

Conclusions:

I. A > C → False ( as A ≥ B ≤ C → thus clear relation between A and C cannot be determined)

II. E ≤ M→ False ( as E < F = K  ≥ M→ thus clear relation between E and M cannot be determined)

Hence, Neither I nor II is True.
