Question

    In the following questions 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 > N = W; J < P = N; Y > P

    Conclusions:

    I. Y > W

    II. M < Y

    III. J > M

    A No conclusion is correct. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II is incorrect. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither I nor III are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All conclusions are correct. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only conclusion I is correct. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given statements: M > N = W; J < P = N; Y > P Conclusions: I. Y > W → True (as Y > P = N = W → thus we can conclude that Y > W) II. M < Y → False (as M > N = W = P > J; Y > P = N = W → Y > N = W = P > J; M > N but the clear relation between M and Y cannot be determined) III. J > M → False (as M > N = W = P > J → J < M; thus, it is clear that the given conclusion is incorrect.) Hence conclusion I is correct
