   Option D 
3. Statements: F ≥ V = T ≥ G < L ≤ D = S; E = Q < T ≤ N; Q > P = W
   Conclusions:
   I. D > N
   II. F > W
   A) only I follows
   B) only II follows
   C) either I or II follows
   D) neither I nor II follow
   E) both I and II follow

   Option B 
4. Statements: N > D ≥ F > J; E < L ≤ G < S < P < F; G > W
   Conclusions:
   I. W < J
   II. J ≤ W
   A) only I follows
   B) only II follows
   C) either I or II follows
   D) neither I nor II follow
   E) both I and II follow
   
   View Answer

   Option C
   Solution:
   W < G < S < P < F > J. So no relation between W and J, so
   1) either W > J or W ≤ J follows  OR
   2) either W < J or ≥ J follows   —— which is given case
5. Statements: H > L = G ≥ S < L ≤ W; S > W > P = R ≤ V; P < X = O
   Conclusions:
   I. W > R
   II. O > R
   A) only I follows
   B) only II follows
   C) either I or II follows
   D) neither I nor II follow
   E) both I and II follow

   Option E 
6. Statements: V < E = D = W ≥ L; F ≥ S = D < K; L ≥ R = H ≥ B
   Conclusions:
   I. B < S
   II. B = S
   A) only I follows
   B) only II follows
   C) either I or II follows
   D) neither I nor II follow
   E) both I and II follow
   
   View Answer

   Option C
   Solution:
   B ≤ L ≤ W = D = S, so B ≤ S 

7. Which of the following would replace % and # in the following expression so that A ≤ B holds true?
   Q < D % S ≥ A = W; B ≥ P # D = Z > X
   A) >, ≤
   B) ≥, >
   C) ≥, ≥
   D) >, =
   E) None of these
   
   View Answer

   Option C
   Solution:
   A ≤ S ≤ D ≤ P ≤ B
8. In which of the following expressions does the expression ‘B ≤ H’ and ‘A > G’ definitely hold true?
   A) A = B < F ≥ H = K > G > D
   B) D > A = G ≥ B = F ≤ G < H
   C) A < O > G < H = H ≥ S ≥ B
   D) G = U ≤ B = E ≤ H = O < A
   E) None of these
   
   View Answer

   Option D
    
9. In which of these expression ‘L > P’ is definitely false?
   A) W < P ≥ S ≥ Q < N> A ≥ L > V
   B) N > L > M = D ≥ B = A > P = R
   C) M ≤ A > L > W ≥ V ≤ B = P < S
   D) S > L = C ≥ H = H ≥ P ≤ Q = T
   E) B > L ≤ A = M < Q ≤ T = P < G
   
   View Answer

   Option E
   Solution:
   In A, B, C – relation between L and P cannot be determined, so cannot be told that whether ‘A ≤ P’ is definitely false or not.
   In D) – L ≥ P, so cannot be said that whether L > P or L = P, so cannot be said that ‘L > P’ is definitely false
   In E) – L < P, so ‘L > P’ is definitely false
10. In which of these expression ‘A ≤ P’ is definitely false?
    A) W < P ≥ S ≥ Q < N> A ≥ R > V
    B) N > A > M = D ≥ B = L > P = R
    C) M ≤ A > L > W ≥ V ≤ B = P < S
    D) S > A > = C ≤ H = P ≤ Q = T = K
    E) B > L ≤ A > M ≥ Q < T > P < G
    
    View Answer

    Option B
    Solution:
    In B) – A > P so ‘A ≤ P’ is definitely false. In other option, relation between A and P cannot be determined, so cannot be told that whether ‘A ≤ P’ is definitely false or not.
