<, ≥, ≥

Why this answer is correct

Let us check each option:

  1. H > C < T < Y; C = L > J; J ≥ Z = A → Y > L; L > A

  2. H > C = T < Y; C = L < J; J ≥ Z < A → Y > L; relation between L and A can’t be determined

  3. H > C = T < Y; C = L = J; J ≥ Z < A → Y > L; relation between L and A can’t be determined.

  4. H > C < T < Y; C = L ≥ J; J ≥ Z ≥ A → Y > L; L ≥ A as required.

  5. H > C < T < Y; C = L = J; J ≥ Z > A → Y > L; L > A.

Hence, ‘<, ≥, >’ are to be placed so that both Y > L and L ≥ A hold definitely true.
