The given statements are followed by two conclusions. Find out which conclusion is TRUE based on the given statements. Statements: S > T = U, V ≥ W < T, O = S = P, W > Q > R Conclusions: I. T= O II. T > O

Correct — D.
Rule: join T and O through a shared letter, then read the combined sign.

O = S (from O = S = P)
S > T (from S > T = U)
So O > T, which means T < O.

I says T = O and II says T > O. The chain rules out both → option (d).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Only conclusion I is true — T = O would need equals signs all the way along. The chain has S > T in it, so O is strictly greater than T.
• (b)
  Only conclusion II is true — T > O points the wrong way. O equals S, and S is greater than T, so T is smaller than O.
• (c)
  Both conclusion I and II are true — Both cannot hold even in principle, since T cannot equal O and exceed it at once. Here the chain gives T < O, so each fails.

In inequality items, connect the two letters in a conclusion through the statements and keep the strongest sign met on the way. One strict sign (> or <) in a chain that points one way makes the result strict.

Here the path from O to T is O = S > T. The statements about U, V, W, Q and R are not needed for this pair.

Key facts

• In a chain whose signs all point one way, a single strict sign makes the result strict: O = S > T gives O > T.
• Signs pointing opposite ways, as in V ≥ W < T, give no relation between V and T.
• T = O and T > O together make T ≥ O, the opposite of T < O.

Common traps

• Reading S > T = U and O = S = P separately and missing that S joins them
• Reading the chain from the wrong end and choosing T > O
