SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • Reasoning • Q179

In this question, two statements are followed by four conclusions given as options. Decide which conclusion is definitely true, based on the given statements.

Statements:
P ≥ Q ≥ R ≥ S < T
J ≤ K ≤ R

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. P ≥ J.

Statements: P ≥ Q ≥ R ≥ S < T; J ≤ K ≤ R

1. J > T → False (as J ≤ K ≤ R ≥ S < T, opposite signs are given)

2. P ≥ J → True  (as P ≥ Q ≥ R ≥ K ≥ J, i.e. P ≥ J)

3. K < T → False (as K ≤ R ≥ S < T, opposite signs are given)

4. S ≥ K → False (as K ≤ R ≥ S, opposite signs are given)
