Directions: In each of the following questions assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the conclusions among given conclusions is / are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.

Statement: E < U > L > K ≤ T = H ≤ Q

Conclusions:

I. U > H

II. T ≤ Q

This question was previously asked in
RBI Assistant Prelims Memory Based Paper (27 March 2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Only Conclusion II follows

Inequality Statement Analysis

The problem asks us to determine which of the given conclusions logically follow from the provided statement. We need to analyze the relationships between the variables based on the inequalities.

The given statement is:

E < U > L > K ≤ T = H ≤ Q

Let's break down the statement and analyze each conclusion:

Conclusion I Evaluation: U > H

From the statement, we can establish the following chains:

  • U > L
  • L > K
  • K ≤ T
  • T = H

Combining these, we get:

U > L > K ≤ T = H

This means U is greater than L, which is greater than K. K is less than or equal to T, and T is equal to H. So, the chain looks like U > ... > K ≤ H.

We know U is greater than K (since U > L > K). We also know K ≤ H. However, we cannot definitively determine the relationship between U and H. For instance:

  • If U = 5 and H = 4, then U > H.
  • If U = 5 and H = 6, then U < H.

Since both possibilities exist, Conclusion I (U > H) does not definitely follow from the statement.

Conclusion II Evaluation: T ≤ Q

From the statement, we have the following direct relationships:

  • T = H
  • H ≤ Q

We can substitute H in the second inequality with T from the first equality.

This gives us: T = H ≤ Q.

Based on the transitivity property of inequalities, if T is equal to H and H is less than or equal to Q, then T must be less than or equal to Q.

Therefore, Conclusion II (T ≤ Q) definitely follows from the statement.

Final Determination

Based on the analysis:

  • Conclusion I: U > H - Does not necessarily follow.
  • Conclusion II: T ≤ Q - Definitely follows.

Thus, only Conclusion II is definitely true.
