Answers With Explanations:

1. 1;

Combining (i) and (ii), we get

T>R>N=M>Q

Comparing R and Q, we get R > Q. Thus only conclusion I is true and conclusion II is not true.

2. 5

Combining (i) and (ii), we get

We get

N>L>D>P

N > P and N > D

So, P < N > D,

Thus conclusion I is true.

Again, We get,

L > P is true, Thus conclusion II is true.

3. 5

Combining (i) and (ii), we get

T>K>P>Q>R

We get,

T > R. Thus conclusion I is true.

Again, we get

K > Q, T > P. Thus conclusion II is true.

4. 2

Combining (i) and (ii), we get

We get,

S=Q>T>J=N>R

T > R and Q > N, Thus conclusion I is not true.

Again,

T < Q is true. Thus conclusion II is true.

5. 5

Combining (i) and (ii), we get

We get,

W>S>P>N>T

W > T and P > T, Thus conclusion I is true.

Again,

W > N and S > T or T < S, Thus conclusion II is true.
