Given statement: G % A & D, Q # R $ G, F $ A

After converting: G ≥ A > D, Q = R On combining: Q = R D; F I) F % D ⇒ F ≥ D → False (A > D; F II) D # A ⇒ D = A → False (A > D)

III) Q $ G ⇒ Q IV) F % Q ⇒ F ≥ Q → False (Q = R → the clear relation between F and Q cannot be determined.)

Hence, only III follows.
