Correct Answer: Either conclusion I or II is true.
Explanation:
Given:M < S<=T = R>=D > E>=F ...(i)
G<=S < H ...(ii)
Combining (i) and (ii), we get
G<=S<=T = R>=D > E>F andH > S<=T = R>=D > E>=F and
G<=S > M and M < S < H
(I) G = R is not true.
(II) G < R is not true.
But both are complamentary are pair.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows.
Explanation:
(i) Q < R > P ... (ii)Combining both statements, we haveA > B < P < R > QNow, B < R is true.Hence, I follows.Again, We can?t compare A and Q. Thus, conclusion II does not follow.

However, 2 is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
