Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: If both conclusions I and II follow
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This inequality-chain question asks which conclusions are forced by the given relations. We must respect strict (>) vs non-strict (≥, ≤) comparisons and use transitivity carefully.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Convert equalities and non-strict bounds into a single order where possible, then test each conclusion independently.
Step-by-Step Solution:
From J = K and H > J ⇒ H > K.
From K ≥ L and L > T ⇒ K ≥ L > T ⇒ K > T (I true).
From K ≥ L and H > K ⇒ H > K ≥ L ⇒ H > L ⇒ L ≤ H (II true).
Verification / Alternative check:
Assign values respecting the chain, e.g., T=1, L=2, K=2, H=3, V any >1. Then K > T and L ≤ H both hold.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
a/b/d/e contradict at least one conclusion; both I and II are compelled.
Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting that K ≥ L with L > T implies K > T; also reading L ≤ H as L <= H which is consistent with H > L.
Final Answer:
If both conclusions I and II follow
