Given the statements H = I ≤ R and M ≥ R < S, consider the conclusions I. M = I and II. M > I. Which is true?
AOnly M = I is true
BOnly M > I is true
CNeither conclusion is true
DEither M = I or M > I is true
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Either M = I or M > I is true
1. From H = I ≤ R we get I ≤ R; from M ≥ R we get M ≥ R.
2. Combining: M ≥ R ≥ I, hence M ≥ I.
3. M ≥ I means M could equal I or exceed it, but not which — so **either M = I or M > I**.
