- AOnly I follows
- BOnly II follows
- CNeither I nor II follows
- DBoth I and II follow
Step-by-Step Solution
Under this key '■' is > and '◆' is <, so the statements read F > G, G < H and H > J. The sense reverses twice, leaving G at the bottom and F, H, J unlinked to each other. Conclusion I decodes to F > J: F = 9, G = 1, H = 40, J = 2 makes it true, while F = 3, G = 1, H = 40, J = 20 satisfies every statement and makes it false. Conclusion II decodes to G < J: the second pair of values gives G = 1 < J = 20, true, but the first gives G = 1 and J = 2 — also true, so test another, F = 9, G = 1, H = 40, J = 0, which satisfies all three statements and makes G < J false. Neither follows. 'Both' comes from reading the three statements as one descending run.
Answer: C) Neither I nor II follows
