Direction for Question 19: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by conclusions. Give answer (a) if only Conclusion I is true. Give answer (b) if only Conclusion II is true. Give answer (c) if either Conclusion I or II is true. Give answer (d) if neither Conclusion I nor II is true. Give answer (e) if both Conclusions I and II are true. Statements: A ≥ E > 1; E = 0 < U Conclusions: I. A ≥ U II. U > 1
Aonly Conclusion I is true
Bonly Conclusion II is true
Ceither Conclusion I or II is true
Dneither Conclusion I nor II is true
Eboth Conclusions I and II are true
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. neither Conclusion I nor II is true
From the statements, $E > 1$ and $E = 0 < U$.
But $E = 0$ gives $E = 0$, and $0 < U$ gives $U > 0$.
So the usable relations are $A \ge E$, $E > 1$, and $U > 0$ with $E = 0$ also stated. This means the statements are inconsistent about $E$, but for the direct comparison asked in the conclusions, there is no definite relation between $A$ and $U$.
Conclusion I: $A \ge U$ cannot be determined.
Conclusion II: $U > 1$ also cannot be determined from $U > 0$.
Therefore, neither conclusion follows. Checking the options, this matches option $D$.
