    'P×Q' means 'P is either greater than or equal to Q'.
    'P=Q' means 'P is equal to Q'.
    'P÷Q' means 'P is smaller than Q'.
    'P-Q' means 'P is either smaller than or equal to Q'.

    Statements: U + V, W - Y, Y Ã— U
    Conclusions: I. W + U   II. W Ã· V
  2. A.
    if only conclusion I is true.
    B.
    if only conclusion II is true.
    C.
    if either conclusion I or II is true.

    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    U > V -- (i); W ≤ Y -- (ii); Y ≥ U -- (iii)

    From (ii) and (iii), W â‰¤ Y â‰¥ U => no relationship between W and U can be determined. Hence, I is not true. Now, using (i), again no relationship between W and V can Determined.
