Question

In the following question, a relationship between different elements is shown in the statement followed by three conclusions numbered (I), (II) and (III). Assuming statement to be true, decide which of the conclusions is/are definitely true.
Statement : $W \le X, X \ge Y, Y < Z$
Conclusions: (I) $Z > X$
(II) $W > Y$
(III) $Y > W$

The correct answer is

 None of the conclusions (I), (II) and (III) are true.

To evaluate the truth of the given conclusions based on the statement, let's analyze each part:

Statement: W \le X, X \ge Y, Y < Z

Analysis:

  • The first part of the statement W \le X implies that W is either less than or equal to X.
  • The second part X \ge Y means X is greater than or equal to Y.
  • The last part Y < Z indicates that Y is less than Z.

Conclusions:

  1. Z > X: The statement provides no direct comparison between Z and X. Y \lt Z and X \ge Y do not infer Z \gt X, as Z can be greater than or less than X. Therefore, Conclusion I is not definitely true.
  2. W > Y: From the statement, we have W \le X and X \ge Y, so W can indeed be lesser, equal, or greater than Y, but it is not definitively greater. Conclusion II is not definitely true.
  3. Y > W: According to the given statement, X \ge Y and W \le X; there is no definitive indication that Y is greater than W. So, Conclusion III is not definitely true.

Conclusion: None of the conclusions (I), (II), and (III) are definitely true.
