Consider the following statements :
I. If A ≤ B > C < D > E > F ≥ G = H; then B is always greater than E.
II. If P > Q = R ≥ S = T ≤ U = V > W; then S is always less than V.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
A.I only
B.II only
C.Both I and II
D.Neither I nor II✓ Correct
Explanation
Statement I: From B > C < D > E, we cannot establish a definite relationship between B and E since the chain breaks at '<' (C < D). B could be greater than, less than, or equal to E. So I is not always true. Statement II: From S = T ≤ U = V, we get S ≤ V, meaning S could be equal to V, not necessarily strictly less than V. So II is not always true. Hence neither statement is correct.
