S1. Ans.(b)


S2. Ans.(d)


S3. Ans.(a)


S4. Ans.(c)


S5. Ans.(b)


S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given statements:
C = T ≥ P ≥ N > T = X ≤ L
So, C ≥ N is true. Hence I is true.
Again, we can’t compare L and T.
Hence II (L > T) is not true. Hence only I is true. 


S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given statements:
Q = R > M ≥ S …(i)
G > H ≤ R …(ii)
Combining both the statements, we get
G > H ≤ R = Q > M ≥ S
Thus, we can’t compare G and M or H and S.
Hence I (G > M) is not true.
Again, II (H ≥ S) is not true. 
Hence neither conclusion I nor II is true.


S8. Ans.(e)
Sol. Given statements:
N < P = C < K = T ≥ H
Thus, C < T is true. Again N < K or K > N is true. 
Hence both conclusion I and II are true.


S9. Ans.(e)
Sol. Given statements:
D > W ≥ P = E ≤ S < U = V
Thus, P < V or V > P is true.
Again, D > E or E < D is true. 
Hence both are true.


S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given statements:
X = T ≥ V > N ≥ S …(i)
G > W = S …(ii)
Combining both the statements, we get 
X = T ≥ V > N ≥ S = W < G
Thus, we can’t compare V and G. Hence (V < G) is not true.
Again, T > W is true. 
Hence only II is true.
