Given statement: T % F * G & D, F # R # U

After converting: T ≥ F D, F = R = U

On combining: T ≥ F = R = U D

Conclusions:

I) D # U ⇒ D = U → False (Cannot be determined as U D so there is no clear relation between D and U)

II) T % R ⇒ T ≥ R → True (as T ≥ F and F = R)

Hence only conclusion II follows.
