I. A > B

II. Y < Z

A) None is true B) Only I is true
C) Only II is true D) Either I or II is true
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Only II is true

Explanation:

Given statements: Y ≤ K < D = S; D < B < O; A ≥ D < Z

On combining: Y ≤ K < D < B < O; A ≥ D = S; D < Z

Conclusions:i. A > B→False (as A ≥D < B→thus clear relation between A and B cannot be Determined)

ii. Y < Z→True(as Y ≤K < D < Z→Y < Z)

I. P > S
II. Z < T

A) None is true B) Only I is true
C) Only II is true D) Either I or II is true
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Only I is true
