According to the given statements D<E,E<=T,T=C and C<A


Conclusion 1 : D<A

True as D<E, E<=T which implies D<T means D<C as T=C

Now C<A means D<A


Conclusion 2:C<=D.

It is false as D<E<=C.Now T=C.

So D<C


Conclusion 3: A>E

It is true as A>T>=E

So A>E


Conclusion 4: A>T

It is true as A>C and C=T

So A>T
