Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only (II)

Why this answer is correct

Statement:

R ≤ T ≤ S = P < U > W ≥ X > Y

Let us check each conclusion one by one.

I) T = P But T ≤ P → False

II) U > R → True

III) S > Y → No relation between S and Y can be established.

Hence, only conclusion II follows.

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

None is true

Why this answer is correct

Statements:

R ≥ P = O > U ≤ M = B

Conclusions:

I. B ≥ O → O > U and U ≤ B → Relation between B and O is not clear. Hence false.

II. R > M →R > U and U ≤ M→ Relation between R and M is not clear. Hence false.

III. P = B → P > U and U ≤ B → Relation between P and B is not clear. Hence false.

Hence none of the given conclusions are true.
