Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely follows?

≤

Q

Therefore,

Given statements: L @ M; N © M; N © O; O # P → L P

On combining: L P

Conclusions:

I. N % L → N ≤ L → False (as L II. P # N → P > N → False (as N ≥ O > P).

III. L * O → L = O → False (as L < M ≤ N ≥ O → thus clear relation between L and O cannot be determined).

Therefore, none follows.
