Question 1- I ≥ J…… (i) ; J > K….. (ii)
K < L….. (iii); L ≤ M…. (iv)
From (ii) and (iv)
K < L ≤ M or M > K….. (v)
Hence I follows
From (i) and (ii)
I ≥ J > K or I > K…… (vi)
Hence II follows
From (i) and (iii) L and J can’t be compared.
Hence III does not follow
From (v) and (vi), M and I can’t be compared.
Hence IV does not follow

Question 2- A < B….. (i); B = C…. (ii)
V > B…. (iii); D ≥ E…. (iv)
Combining these we get A < B = C > D ≥ E
So, A and B can’t be compared
Hence I does not follow
Again E < C
Hence II follows
C > A
Hence III follows
B > E
Hence IV follows
Question 3- A >Z….. (i); B ≤ C….. (ii)
C = D….. (iii); D < E ….. (iv)
Combining these we get
A > B ≤ C = D < E
So D ≥ B which means either D = B or D > B
That is either I or II follows
Again E > B
So III follows
A and D can’t be compared
So IV doesn’t follow
Question 4- G ≤ H…… (i); H = I…. (ii)
J > I…….(iii); K ≥ J…. (iv)
Combining these we get
G ≤ H = I < J ≤ K
So I ≥ G
Hence I follows
Again J > H
Hence II follows
J > G
Hence III follows
K > H
Hence IV follows
Question 5- M = N…. (i); N < O…. (ii)
O ≥ P….. (iii); P ≤ Q…. (iv)
From (iii) and (iv), Q and O can’t be compared
Hence I and consequently IV do not follow
From (ii) and (iii) N and P can’t be compared
Hence II and consequently III do not follow
