Correct Answer: Statements I, II, III and IV
Explanation:
According to the question,
P > Q. S > R
T is least effective Q = R, S > Q
? S/P > Q = R > T
Statement V is not required.
Correct Answer: Atleast four of the six brands tested are less effective than M
Explanation:
According to the question,
P > Q. S > R
T is least effective Q = R, S > Q
? S/P > Q = R > T
It is clear from the ranking order so obtained that brand S may be less effective than P, equal to P or more effective than P. It means that position of S is not fixed. Now as per question, sixth band i.e, M is more effective than S which implies that whatever be the position of S, there will be atleast four brands which will be less effective than M.
Correct Answer: P should be purchased instead of R
Explanation:
According to the question,
P > Q. S > R
T is least effective Q = R, S > Q
? S/P > Q = R > T
Now, it is given that P is less expensive than R and from the order, P is more effective than R. It means that P should be Purchased as it is more effective and less expensive than R
