Solution
8.R = A > H ≥ U
H < S
A > H < S
Conclusions: I. U < R : True
II. A < S : Not true
9.F > H = Q ≤ K < X
Conclusions: I.F > K : Not true
II. X > H : True
10.V < I ≤ Z,
D > I ≥ B
Conclusions: I. B > V : Not true
II. Z < D : Not true
11.J ≥ X = T ≥ O > N
Conclusions: I. O ≤ J : True
II. T > N : True
12.I ≥ S ≥ P = N
Conclusions: I. N = I : Not true
II. I > N : Not true
I is either greater than or equal to N.
Therefore, either Conclusion I or Conclusion II is true.
