Correct Answer: Only I follows
Solution :
Given:
Statement I:
Ibrahim is taller than Rakesh who is taller than Shyam.
Ibrahim > Rakesh > Shyam
Statement II:
Shyam is shorter than David.
David > Shyam
After combining all the statements –
Ibrahim / David > Rakesh / David > Shyam
Let's check the conclusions –
Conclusion I:
Ibrahim is taller than Shyam.
This conclusion is true according to the given arrangement.
Conclusion II:
David is taller than Ibrahim.
This is not correct because we cannot determine the exact position of David or Ibrahim.
Therefore, only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
