Statements

Conclusions

I. D  T

II. K  M

A) if only Conclusion I is true 

B) if only Conclusion II is true

C) if either Conclusion I or II is true

D) if neither Conclusion I nor II is true

E) if both Conclusions I and II are true

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

M  T \[\Rightarrow \]M < T

T @ K \[\Rightarrow \]T > K

K © D \[\Rightarrow \]K=D

Therefore, M < T > K = D

Conclusions

I. D  T \[\Rightarrow \]D < T (true)

II. K  M \[\Rightarrow \]K < M (Not true)

So, only conclusion I is true.
