Answer & Explanation
  1. (b);

  Given Statements:  T≥Q<R=P ………(i)

  N≤R      ………(ii)

  L≥S=N      ………(iii)

  Combining all the statements, we get: 

  T≥Q<R=P≥N=S≤L    ………(iv)

Now,

From (iv), T ≥ N is not true

R ≥ S is true

Again, L ≥ R is not true.

Hence only II is true.

  1. (e); 

From (iv), R>L is not true

L>Pis not true

N≤Qis not true

Hence none is true.

  1. (d); 

Given Statements:

D=C≥V>K≥M     ……… (i)

W≥E=G>M        ……..(ii)

Combining both statements, we get

D=C≥V>K≥M<G=E≤W

Thus, D>M is true

Again, M<W is true

But, C≥E is not true

Hence only I and II are true. 

  1. (b);

Given statements: 

S≤N≤P=T>R    ……… (i)

Q>V≥W=K>P   ………(ii)

Combining both statements, we get 

S≤N≤P<K=W≤V<Q   ……….. (iii)

And, Q>V≥W=K>P=T>R    ………….(iv)

Now,

From (iii), S<K is true

Again, W<Q or Q>W is true

But, W≥P is not ture

Hence only I and II are ture.

  1. (c); 

From (iv), K>R is true

Again, T≤V is not true

But, W>R is true

Hence only I and III are true.
