Answer b)if only conclusion II is true
Sol. There is no relationship between B and S. But since L < S ≤ C, then C >L is true.

8)Statements:

I b H, E a F, I g F
Conclusions:
I)E a I II)H d E

Answer e)if both I and II are true.
I ≥H, E >F and I= F. We get E >I, hence conclusion I is correct, also E > I≥H henceE > H

9)Statements:

V g O, R g V, O b B
Conclusions:
I)R g B II)R a B

Answer c)if either I or II is true
V=O, R=V and O≥B. Hence R = V= O≥B. either I or II is true.

10)Statements:
L a U, T g L, O b B.
Conclusions:
I)T a W II)U g W
