Given:-

Five boxes containing different fruits are kept above one another such that the lowermost box is numbered 1, the box immediately above is numbered 2, and so on.

Now,

1) The box having Bananas is kept in an even-numbered position but the box is not P. The position of box P cannot be determined yet.

2) Two boxes are kept between the one which has Bananas and Box G.

The possibilities are -

 

3) T is kept three boxes above the box which has Oranges.

The possibilities are -

 

4) Box G is kept above Box Z but not just above. This is not possible in Case I (a) and (b) so both cases get eliminated.

Given

Statements:

H < I > J < L; J < P < R; P > U < W

On combining: H < I > J < P < R; H < I > J < P > U < W; L > J < P < R; L > J < P > U < W

Conclusions:

I. H < R → False (as H < I > J < P < R, so no definite relationship can be determined between H and R.)

II. J > W → False (as J < P > U < W, so no definite relationship can be determined between J and W.)

There is no direct relation given between H & R and J & W so both the conclusions don't follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Neither I nor II follows.

Given

Statements:

S > T ≥ U < V; U < W = X > Y > Z; X < M < L

On combining: S > T ≥ U < W = X > Y > Z; S > T ≥ U < W = X < M < L; V > U < W = X > Y > Z; V > U < W = X < M < L

Conclusions:

I. U < L → True (as U < W = X < M < L, so it is definite that U is smaller than L.)

II. V < W → False (as V > U < W, so we cannot determine any definite relation between V and W.)

L is greater than U so the first conclusion follows. There is no direct relation given between V and W so the second conclusion doesn't follow. 

Hence, the correct answer is Only I follows.

Given

Statements:

M < T ≤ Q < D; P > A = W ≥ D

On combining: M < T ≤ Q < D ≤ W = A < P

Conclusions:

I. W ≥ T → False (as T ≤ Q < D ≤ W, so it is definite that W is greater than T. It is not possible that W is equal to T.)

II. P > Q → True (as Q < D ≤ W = A < P, so P is greater than Q.)

W is greater than T but not equal to T so the first conclusion doesn't follow. But it is definite that P is greater than Q so the second conclusion follows.

The correct answer is Only II follows.

Given:

According to the above codes, "and"  is coded as "8".

Hence, the correct answer is "8".
