- 10. In these questions, the relationship between two elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Statement: K > R = L, P > L, R ? S Conclusion: I. S < L II. L = S
Options- A. If only conclusion I follow.
- B. If only conclusion II follow.
- C. If either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
- D. If neither conclusion I nor II follows. Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, GATE
Correct Answer: If either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
Explanation:
K > R = L, P > L, R ? S

II. L = S
This forms a complementary pair - S is either smaller or equal to L. Hence, the correct option is Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
