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

Explanation:

Given statements: C ≤ R ≤ N = M ≥ F; Q ≥ M < O; D ≥ L; C ≥ D ≤ S ≥ ZOn combining: C≤ R ≤ N = M < O; F ≤ M = N ≥ R ≥ C ≥ D ≤ S ≥ ZConclusions:i. R ≤ F→False (as F ≤M = N ≥R→clear relation between R and F cannot be Determined)ii. C < Q→false (as C ≤R ≤N = M ≤Q→C≤Q)Therefore,None is true
