Given Statements: C > D > E G = H J K = A

Conclusions: 

I. E J → False (E ≥ G = H < J ; we can’t say for this conclusion)

II. E > J → False (E ≥ G = H < J ; we can’t say for this conclusion)

These are two complementary pairs of each other will be either or in between them because there are three possibilities >, < and = between E and J in the above statement.

Hence, Either conclusion I or II follows.

Additional InformationCondition for Either or 

1. If all three possible conditions (<, >, =) between any two entities are included in conclusions, it would be a case of ‘either-or’.

2.  i) If both the predicates are the same in 2 conclusions.

ii) Both conclusions are false individually.

iii) On combining both the conclusions, if the condition follows, it would be ‘either - or’ case
