Statements: P< A ≤ C ≥ K; C ≤ O < L; R ≤ N ≤ C
Conclusions:
I. O ≥ R
II. P ≤ O
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both conclusions I and II are true.
The statements are \( P < A \le C \ge K \), \( C \le O < L \) and \( R \le N \le C \). C is the junction, and both conclusions happen to route through it in a single direction.
I. \( O \ge R \): the run \( R \le N \le C \le O \) points one way at every link, giving \( R \le O \), which is what the conclusion asks. True.
II. \( P \le O \): the run \( P < A \le C \le O \) also points one way, and its opening link is strict, so in fact \( P < O \). A strict inequality satisfies the weak one the conclusion states. True.
Both follow. Note that the same statements, asked about A and K, would give nothing - those two hang below C on separate branches. It is the routing of the question, not the statements alone, that decides.
