Reasoning Ability · solved example

Statements: E < D ≥ C > B > F Conclusions: I. E ≤ C II. C ≥ E Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?

Only I follows

Either I or II follows

Solution

Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is not necessarily true. Hence: neither i nor ii follows.
