Statements: P > Q ≤ R > Z;  Y > X > P ≥ U; Q ≥ S < T

Conclusions:
I. P > S
II. Z < T

A) None is true B) Only I is true
C) Only II is true D) Either I or II is true

Q ≥ S < T
On combining: P > Q ≥ S < T; Y
> X > Q ≤ R > Z
Conclusions:
I. P > S→True (as P > Q≥S→P > S)
II. Z < T→ False(as Z < R≥Q≥S < T→thus clear relation between Z and T cannot be Determined)
 
Therefore, only conclusion I is true.
