- AOnly I follows
- BOnly II follows
- CNeither I nor II follows
- DBoth I and II follow
Step-by-Step Solution
Decoded, the statements are S < T, T ≥ U and U < V. Conclusion I claims S < U, but S < T and T ≥ U both point up towards T and never compare S with U: S = 1, T = 9, U = 4 makes I true while S = 6, T = 9, U = 4 makes it false. Conclusion II claims T > V, but T ≥ U and U < V leave V free above or below T: T = 9, U = 4, V = 5 makes II true while T = 9, U = 4, V = 40 makes it false. Neither follows. 'Only I follows' is what a solver gets by misreading 'T ⊞ U' as T ≤ U, since S < T ≤ U would genuinely give S < U. 'Both' comes from reading the three statements as a single run in one sense.
Answer: C) Neither I nor II follows
