Question

In this question, two statements are followed by four conclusions given as options. Decide which conclusion is definitely true, based on the given statements. 

Statements:

 P ≤ Q <R <S 

T > S > V ≥ W

PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
P <T

Understanding the Inequalities:

The given statements establish inequalities between different variables. Let's analyze them:

  • Statement 1: \(P \le Q < R < S\)
  • Statement 2: \(T > S > V \ge W\)

From these statements, we can infer the following relationships:

  • P is less than or equal to Q, which is less than R, which is less than S.
  • T is greater than S, which is greater than V, which is greater than or equal to W.

Analyzing the Conclusions:

Now let's evaluate each conclusion:

  • Conclusion 1: \(P < T\) - Since \(P \le Q < R < S\) and \(T > S\), it's clear that T is greater than S, and S is greater than P. Thus, T must be greater than P. Therefore, this conclusion is definitely true.
  • Conclusion 2: \(Q < W\) - There is no direct relationship established between Q and W. We only know that \(Q < R < S\) and \(S > V \ge W\). We can't definitively conclude that \(Q < W\).
  • Conclusion 3: \(P < V\) - Similar to conclusion 2, while we know \(P \le Q < R < S\) and \(S > V\), we cannot directly establish the relationship between P and V. There's no definitive conclusion.
  • Conclusion 4: \(R > W\) - The relationship between R and W is also uncertain. We only know that \(R < S\) and \(S > V \ge W\). We cannot conclude that \(R > W\).

Therefore, only Conclusion 1 (\(P < T\)) is definitely true based on the given statements.
