Math Problem Statement

A Statement is given below followed by two Conclusions numbered I and II. Statement: J ≤ Q = F > M, S < B ≥ Z > Q, T

A > B ≤ W Conclusion-I: B ≥ M Conclusion-II: T > Z Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above Statement and the Conclusions? (a) Only Conclusion-I follows from the Statement. (b) Only Conclusion-II follows from the Statement. (c) Both Conclusion-I and conclusion-II follow from the Statement. (d) Neither Conclusion-I nor conclusion-II follows from the Statement.

Solution

Let's break down the given statement and conclusions step by step:

Statement Analysis:

  1. J ≤ Q = F > M:

    • This tells us that J is less than or equal to Q, Q is equal to F, and F is greater than M. So, we have:
      J ≤ Q = F > M.
  2. S < B ≥ Z > Q:

    • This implies S is less than B, B is greater than or equal to Z, and Z is greater than Q. So, we have:
      S < B ≥ Z > Q.
  3. T > A > B ≤ W:

    • This implies T is greater than A, A is greater than B, and B is less than or equal to W. So, we have:
      T > A > B ≤ W.

Conclusions:

Conclusion-I: B ≥ M

  • From the statement J ≤ Q = F > M, we can deduce that B ≥ Z > Q from the second part of the statement, but there is no direct comparison between B and M. Thus, we cannot conclusively say that B ≥ M.
    So, Conclusion-I does not follow.

Conclusion-II: T > Z

  • From the statement T > A > B ≤ W and B ≥ Z, we cannot definitively conclude that T > Z because there is no direct relation between T and Z.
    So, Conclusion-II also does not follow.

Final Answer:

(d) Neither Conclusion-I nor Conclusion-II follows from the Statement.
