Directions (6-10): In all the questions that follow, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer accordingly.
(A) only 1st follows
(B) only 2nd follows
(C) either 1st or 2nd
(D) neither 1st nor 2nd
(E) both 1st and 2nd
- Statements: P > A ≤ L, M ≤ A, I ≤ B = M
Conclusions:
I. L ≥ I
II. L = I(A) only 1st follows
Explanation:
L ≥ A ≥ M ≥ I
So L ≥ I - Statements: B < W ≤ E, L > E < K, W ≥ M
Conclusions:
I. K > W
II. L > M(E) both 1st and 2nd
Explanation:
K > E ≥ W , so K > W
L > E ≥ W ≥ M so L > M - Statements: K > M ≥ Z, P = M, Q > K
Conclusions:
I. Q > P
II. Z < Q(E) both 1st and 2nd
Explanation:
Q > K > M = P, so Q > P
Z < K < Q, so Z < Q - Statements: Q ≥ E > K, E > F < A, P > Q
Conclusions:
I. P > A
II. Q > F(B) only 2nd follows
Explanation:
P > Q ≥ E > F < A, so relation cant be determined between P and A Q ≥ E > F, so Q > F - Statements: Q ≥ S ≥ J, J < P, P > E
Conclusions:
I. E > S
II. S ≥ E(C) either 1st or 2nd
Explanation:
E < P > J ≤ S, so relation cant be determined between E and S, so either E is greater than S or is less than and equal to S
