Question

Statements: $\ast$ LU, UG$\ast$, GS@
Conclusions: I. LS$\ast$
II. $\ast GL$

• A. if only conclusion I is true
• 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
• E. if both conclusions I and II are true

Answer 1

The correct option is D if neither conclusion I nor II is true

L < U . . .(i); U > G . . . (ii); G > S . . . (iii)

Combining (ii) and (iii), we get
U > G $\ge$ S . . . (IV)
Now, from (i) and (iv), we do not get any specific relation between L and S. Hence, conclusion I (L > S) is not true. On a similar basis conclusion II (G < L) is also not true.
