8.Statements: W ≥ P,
                        P > G,
                        G < I,
                        I ≤ N
   Conclusions: I.I > P
                       II.N ≤ W
                       III.N > G
a)Only III is true
b)Only I and II are true
c)All are true
d)None is true
e)None of these

9. Statements: U < D,
                         D = S,
                         S > Y,
                         Y ≥ W,
   Conclusions: I.S > W
                        II.D > W
                      III.Y < D
a)Only III is true
b)Only I and II are true
c)All are true
d)None is true
e)None of these

                          K ≥ N,
                          K = M,
                          R > M,
    Conclusions: I.M = N

8.Combining all the statements we get,
                          W ≥ P > G < I ≤ N
   Thus, I > P is not true.We can't compare N and W.
   Hence II is not true. N > G is true.

9.Combining all the statements we get,
                          U < D = S > Y ≥ W
   Thus, S > W is true.
   D > W is true.
   D > Y is true.

10.Combining all the statements we get,
                         A > N ≤ K = M < R
     Thus, M = N is not true.
     M = K is true.
     R ≥ A is not true.
