 STATEMENT :

M < N < U ≤ R = T ≥ V ≥ E

CONCLUSION I : T > N

CONCLUSION II : R ≥ E

CONCLUSION III : M < T

CONCLUSION IV : T ≥ U

  • A.All I, II, III and IV are true
  • B.Only I, II and III are true
  • C.Only II is true
  • D.Only I and either II or IV are true
  • E.Only I and II are true

Answer: A

Correct answer: All I, II, III and IV are true

The statement is a single unbroken chain: \[ M < N < U \le R = T \ge V \ge E. \] It rises from M up to the plateau \( R = T \) and then falls away to E, so T is the high point - and because every conclusion compares T or R against something on one side of it, each one has an unbroken run to work with.

I. \( T > N \): \( N < U \le R = T \), strict because of the first link. True.

II. \( R \ge E \): \( R = T \ge V \ge E \), every link weak, and the conclusion asks only for the weak relation. True.

III. \( M < T \): \( M < N < U \le R = T \), strict twice over. True.

IV. \( T \ge U \): \( U \le R = T \). True.

All four follow. It is worth noticing that no conclusion asks to compare something on the left of T with something on its right - M against E, say - which is exactly the comparison the shape of this chain would refuse.
