Question

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: L ≤ M < J; F ≥ M < R ≤ O

Conclusions:

I. O > J

II. R ≥ L

1. Both I and II are true
2. Only I is true
3. Either I or II is true
4. Only II is true
5. Neither I nor II is true

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 5 : Neither I nor II is true

Given statements: L ≤ M < J; F ≥ M < R ≤ O

On combining:  L ≤ M < R ≤ O; L ≤ M ≤ F; M < J

Conclusions:

I. O > J → False (as L ≤ M < R ≤ O and M < J, thus no clear relation between O and J cannot be determined. So, it is false)

II. R ≥ L → False (as L ≤ M < R ≤ O → L< R → R > L. So, it is false)

Hence, Neither I nor II is true. 

Note: If  R ≥ L → R > L or R = L, But the vice versa is not true.
