Question

Statements : @CS, $\ast$SD,DM$\ast$
Conclusions : I. DC$\ast$
II. SM$\ast$

• 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 A if only conclusion I is true

C $\le$ S ...(i) S < D ...(ii); D> M ...(iii)
Combining (i) and (ii), we get
D > S $\ge$ C . . . (iv)
From (iv), we get D > C. Hence, conclusion I is true.
From (iii) and (iv), we do not get any specific relation between S and M. Hence, conclusion II is not true.
