Statements

Z>T, T<M<J

Conclusions

I.T<J

II.J<Z

  • A.Only Conclusion I follows
  • B.Only conclusion II follows
  • C.Either conclusion I or II follows
  • D.Neither conclusion I or II follows
  • E.Both conclusions I and II follow

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only Conclusion I follows

The statements are \( Z > T \) and \( T < M < J \).

Conclusion I claims \( T < J \). The second statement is already a chain running from T through M to J in a single direction, so \( T < M < J \) gives \( T < J \) directly. Follows.

Conclusion II claims \( J < Z \). Here T is the low point that both Z and J stand above - \( Z > T \) and \( J > T \) - and two elements above a common third are in no fixed order. Taking \( T = 1 \), both \( Z = 2, J = 9 \) and \( Z = 9, J = 2 \) satisfy every statement. Does not follow.

Only the first conclusion follows.
