Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (E)
The given statements can be combined as $R = S < T > Q \geq P$.
$T$ is greater than $Q$. Therefore, $T$ is definitely greater than $P$. Conclusion I is false since it states that $T \geq P$.
No relationship can be established between $R$ and $Q$ since there is a change in the sign of the inequality. Therefore, conclusion II does not follow.
Neither of the conclusions follow. Therefore, option E is the right answer.
2) Answer (B)
The given statements can be combined as $ B \leq D > E \geq A > C$.
As we can see, $ D > C$ and no relationship can be established between $B$ and $A$ due to the change in the inequality. Therefore, only conclusion II follows and hence, option B is the right answer.
3) Answer (A)
The given statements can be combined as $S > R < P \leq Q$. As we can see, no relationship can be established between $P$ and $S$ as there is a change in the inequality. Also, we can see that $R$ is less than $Q$.
Only conclusion I follows and hence, option A is the right answer.
4) Answer (C)
First, let us eliminate the options in which there is a change in the direction of the inequality between F and D. We can eliminate option B and option D using this case.
Now, let us check options A and C.
Option A:
$ F= E \leq B \leq A \leq D$
From this option, we can conclude that $ F\leq D$. Therefore, the statement $F \leq D$ is definitely true. We can eliminate option A.
Option C:
$ F= E \geq B > A \geq D$
We can conclude that $F> D$. Therefore, the conclusion $F \leq D$ is definitely false in this case. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
5) Answer (A)
Any option in which there is a change of sign between A and B or C and D will render the terms unrelatable. Therefore, let us first eliminate such choices.
Except options A and D, all other options involve a change in the inequality. Therefore, we can eliminate options B, C and E.
Option A:
$D > A \geq E = C \geq B$
Both the conclusions $A \geq B$ and $C<D$ hold true in this case.
Option D:
$ D \geq A > E > C = B$
The conclusion $C<D$ is true but the conclusion $A \geq B$ is false in this option. Therefore, we can eliminate option D.
Therefore, option A is the right answer.
6) Answer (B)
P and Q are at the either ends of the inequality. If there is an inconsistency in the sign (like change from > to < in between), no relationship can be established between P and Q. Therefore, we can eliminate options C, D and E.
Let us check options A and B.
Option A:
$P = A \leq R \leq F =Q$
We can say that $P \leq Q$ from this relation. Therefore, option A can be eliminated.
Option B:
$P = A \geq R = F > Q$
We can say with conviction that $ P > Q$.Therefore, the conclusion $P\leqQ$ will be definitely false in this case. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
7) Answer (E)
We can easily eliminate the options in which there is a change in the direction of the inequality between A and D, since no relationship can be established in such cases. This eliminates options A and C. Let us check options B and D.
Option B:
$A= C \geq B> E = D$
In this option, the conclusion $D<A$ is definitely true.
Option D:
$A\geq C > B\geq E = D$
In option D too, the conclusion $D<A$ is definitely true.
The conclusion $D<A$ is true for both options B and D. Therefore, option E is the right answer.
8) Answer (D)
The given statement is
$ A > B < C = D > E; E > F \geq G < H$
B is less than C and E is also less than C. Hence we cannot compare B and E.
Since only ‘E’ is common between the first and the second parts of the inequality, we cannot compare B with any of the terms from the second part. Hence conclusion II is not implied.
Similarly no relation can be established between A and G and thus we cannot comment about which one is greater among K and Q. Thus conclusion I is also not implied. Hence the correct answer is option D.
9) Answer (D)
The given inequality is
$ G > H \leq I = J; J > K < L$
G is greater than H and I is greater than or equal to H. Hence we cannot compare G and I. Thus, we cannot compare G and H also. Since H is the only term which is common between the first and the second term, we cannot compare G and L. Thus, I is not implied.
H is less than or equal to I which is equal to J. So H is less than or equal to J. Now K is also less than J. Hence we cannot say anything about the relationship between H and K.
Thus, II is also not implied. Hence option D is the correct answer.
10) Answer (A)
Expression : $P(P-3)<4P-12$
=> $P^2-3P-4P+12<0$
=> $P^2-7P+12<0$
=> $(P-3)(P-4)<0$
=> $P<3$ and $P>4$
=> Ans – (A)
