Correct Answer:
Option D —
T > R
To find the statement that is always true, let's look at the relationships established in your sequence:
Relationship 1: P is greater than or equal to Q, and Q is greater than R.
Relationship 2: R is less than or equal to S, and S is less than T.
Relationship 3: P is greater than T.
Now, let's evaluate the options based on these rules:
A) P = S: This is not necessarily true. While we know P is greater than T and T is greater than S, P must be strictly greater than S, not equal to it.
B) S < Q: We cannot confirm this. Both S and Q are greater than R, but there is no direct information to tell us which one of the two is larger.
C) Q > T: There is no information linking Q and T directly. We know P is greater than both, but their relationship to each other is unknown.
D) T > R: Looking at the second relationship (R is less than or equal to S, and S is less than T), it is clear that T must be strictly greater than R.
