Pelling is at a higher elevation than Siliguri. Darjeeling is at a higher elevation than Gangtok. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the paragraph above? i. Pelling is at a higher elevation than Kalimpong ii. Kalimpong is at a lower elevation than Darjeeling iii. Kalimpong is at a higher elevation than Siliguri iv. Siliguri is at a lower elevation than Gangtok Correct Answer Only ii and iv
A map shows the elevations of Darjeeling (D), Gangtok (G), Kalimpong (K), Pelling (P), and Siliguri (S).
Kalimpong is at a lower elevation than Gangtok.
⇒ K < G ----(1)
Pelling is at a lower elevation than Gangtok.
⇒ P < G ----(2)
Pelling is at a higher elevation than Siliguri.
⇒ S < P ----(3)
Darjeeling is at a higher elevation than Gangtok.
⇒ G < D ----(4)
From inequalities (1) and (4), we get
⇒ K < G < D
From inequalities (2) and (3), we get
⇒ S < P < G
i. Pelling is at a higher elevation than Kalimpong (K < P): There is no clear relation between K and P, so it may or may not TRUE.
ii. Kalimpong is at a lower elevation than Darjeeling (K < D): It is TRUE as K < G < D.
iii. Kalimpong is at a higher elevation than Siliguri (S < K): There is no clear relation between S and K, so it may or may not TRUE.
iv. Siliguri is at a lower elevation than Gangtok (S < G): It is TRUE as S < P < G.
