Question 16

Directions: In the following question assuming the given statement to be true,find which of the conclusion among the given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.Statement:N ≤ Q, J > L, R ≥ Y, N > P, W = I, J < B, Y < Q, U ≤ L, Z ≥ A, I < Y, R < AConclusions:I.W < RII. B < U

Accepted Answer

Combine the inequalities: W = I < Y < Q. Also, R < A ≤ Z. We have R ≥ Y. So, W < Y ≤ R. Thus, W < R is true. For B < U, we have B > J > L ≥ U. So B > U, making B < U false.
