5.R’s position from right end is = ( 21 + 10) = 31st
   R’s position from left end is = ( 17  ̶  4) = 13th
   So, total number of students in the row is = ( 31 + 13  ̶  1) = 43

6.B > A > C > D > E.

7.Combining both the statements, we get
                         E ≥ F = G > C = Q > P
   Thus, G > P is true.
   Again, F > Q is true.

8.Combining all the statements, we get
                         R = Q ≥ P > T ≥ S
     Thus, R > S.
     Hence, I (R ≥ S) is not true.
     Again, Q > S is true.
    Hence, II is true.

9.Combining all the statements, we get
                        J ≥ K = L < I ≤ H
     Thus, K < H or H > K is true.
     Hence, I is true.
     Again, we can’t compare J and I.
     Hence, II (J ≥ I) is not true.

10.S > T = R ≥ Q ≤ P = N
     We can’t compare P and T.
     Hence, I (P ≥ T) is not true.
     Again, Q ≤ N or N ≥ Q is true.
    Hence, II is true.
