In the question below, a statement is followed by two conclusions based on the statement. Study the conclusions and select the correct option as the answer.
1. Statement: P = U ≤ S = W > R; S < Y ≥ T Conclusion I: T < W Conclusion II: Y > P
a) Both I and II follow
b) Only II follows
c) Either I or II follow
d) Only I follows
e) Neither I nor II follows
Answer: b) Only II follows
The given statement is: P = U ≤ S = W > R; S < Y ≥ T
W = S < Y ≥ T
So, conclusion I is false.
P = U ≤ S < Y
Y > P
So, conclusion II is true.

2. Statement: E ≤ H < L = Q > X; Z = L ≥ J Conclusion I: Z > E Conclusion II: J < X
a) Both I and II follow
b) Only II follows
c) Either I or II follow
d) Only I follows
e) Neither I nor II follows
Answer:
d) Only I follows
The given statement is: E ≤ H < L = Q > X; Z = L ≥ J
Z = L > H ≥ E
Z > E
So, conclusion I is true.
J ≤ L = Q > X
So, conclusion II is false.
Thus, only conclusion I follow.
3. Statement: F < V ≤ K > Q = C; M > K ≥ R Conclusion I: F < R Conclusion II: M > C
a) Both I and II follow
b) Only II follows
c) Either I or II follow
d) Only I follows
e) Neither I nor II follows
Answer:
b) Only II follows
Given statement is F < V ≤ K > Q = C; M > K ≥ R
F < V ≤ K ≥ R
So, conclusion I does not follows.
M > K > Q = C
M > C
So, conclusion II follows.
Thus, only conclusion II follows.
4. Statement: D = J ≤ Y < N > P; Z = Y ≥ B Conclusion I: P < B Conclusion II: Z ≥ D
a) Both I and II follow
b) Only II follows
c) Either I or II follow
d) Only I follows
e) Neither I nor II follows
Answer: b) Only II follows
Given statement is D = J ≤ Y < N > P; Z = Y ≥ B
B ≤ Y < N > P
So, conclusion I does not follows.
D = J ≤ Y = Z
Z ≥ D
So, conclusion II follows.
5. Statement: S = Y > F ≤ R < T; O = F ≥ V Conclusion I: O < S Conclusion II: T > V
a) Both I and II follow
b) Only II follows
c) Either I or II follow
d) Only I follows
e) Neither I nor II follows
Answer: a) Both I and II follow
Given statement is S = Y > F ≤ R < T; O = F ≥ V
S = Y > F = O
O < S
So, conclusion I follows.
V ≤ F ≤ R < T
T > V
So, conclusion II follows.
Thus, both conclusions I and II follow.
Study the following information and answer the given question. Seven persons- Rohan, Zoya, Misha, Vicky, Anvi, Kiran and Bipin are working in the Scientific staff of forensic department at different designations. The designations in decreasing orders are Director, Additional Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Scientific Officer, Scientific Assistant Grade I and Scientific Assistant Grade II where Director is the seniormost position and Scientific Assistant Grade II is the juniormost position.
