Statement and Conclusion problems
- 1. In the following questions, relationship between different elements are shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer Statements: A<=B>C, D>=B < E Conclusions: I.D>=A II.E > C
Options- A. if only conclusion I istrue.
- B. if only conclusion II is true.
- C. if either conclusion I or II is true.
- D. if neither conclusion I nor II is true. Also asked in: Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
I.A<=B<=D, So D>=A is true.
II. E>B > C, So E > C is true.
- 2. In these questions, a relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Statements: M < S<=T = R>=D > E>=F, G<=S < H Conclusions: I.G = R II.G < R
Options- A. Only conclusion I is true.
- B. Only conclusion II is true.
- C. Either conclusion I or II is true.
- D. Neither conclusion I nor II is true. Also asked in: Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Either conclusion I or II is true.
Explanation:
Given:M < S<=T = R>=D > E>=F ...(i)
G<=S < H ...(ii)
Combining (i) and (ii), we get
G<=S<=T = R>=D > E>F andH > S<=T = R>=D > E>=F and
G<=S > M and M < S < H
(I) G = R is not true.
(II) G < R is not true.
But both are complamentary are pair.
- 3. In each of these question, the relationships between two or more elements are shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Read thestatements and give answer Statement: A > B < P, Q < R > P Conclusion: I. B < R II. Q > A
Options- A. Only conclusion I follows.
- B. Only conclusion II follows.
- C. Either conclusion I or II follows.
- D. Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Discuss
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows.
Explanation:
(i) Q < R > P ... (ii)Combining both statements, we haveA > B < P < R > QNow, B < R is true.Hence, I follows.Again, We can?t compare A and Q. Thus, conclusion II does not follow.
- 4. In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements.
