Direction[1-2]: In the following questions, relationship between different elements are shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer
1. Statements A ≥ J = N; H > Y > I N
    A. Only conclusion I is true B. Only conclusion II is true C. Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true D. Neither conclusion I or conclusion II is true

Answer - Option C
Explanation - Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true
Explanation:
A ≥ J = N; H > Y > I < S = N
From the statements we have,
A ≥ J = N. So, A ≥ N
Conclusions:
I. A = N
II. A > N
So, I and II are complementary
2. Statements: T ≤ J > F; U > J ≤ H = S Conclusions: I. F ≤ U II. U > T
    A. Only conclusion I is true B. Only conclusion II is true C. Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true D. Neither conclusion I or conclusion II is true

Answer - Option B
Explanation - Only conclusion II is true
Explanation:
U > J ≤ H = S; T ≤ J > F
From the statements we have,
U > J > F. So, U > F.
Also, U > J ≥ T. So, U > T
Conclusions:
I. F ≤ U: it is FALSE
II. U > T: it is TRUE

1.Statement: With less than three to go before the election of a president, the campaigns saw explosive revelation about Mr.Trump and Ms. Clinton. This included disturbing evidence of Mr. Trump boasting about groping women without their consent, allegations of such behavior and assault by at least nine women, and an avalanche of confidential emails of Ms.Clinton's campaign released by wiki leaks that underscored her proximity to the deep-pocketed wall street donors. Which of the following can be hypothesized from the above passage?
Assumptions: (1) Mr.Trump and Ms.Clinton are candidates of opponent parties which are fighting for presidential posts. (2) Serious allegations against candidates may affect the polling result. (3) Trade and economy of the country depend on the selection of presidential candidates.

The words just 1,999 per month in the statement make 3rd statement implicits.
