23. E) N = B ≥ W < H ≤ M
I. M > W (True) II. H > N (False)
III. W = N (False) IV. W < N (False)
So : N ≥ W (Only either III or IV and I are true)
24. A) R ≤ D ≥ J < M > K
I. K < J (False) II. D > M (False)
III. R < M (False) IV. D > K (False)
So none is true.
25. B) H > T < F = E ≤ V
I. V ≥ F (True) II. E > T (True)
III. H > V (False) IV. T < V (True)
So only I, II and IV are true.
26. E) D < R ≤ k > F ≥ J
I. J < R (False) II. J < K (True)
III. R < F (False) IV. K > D (True)
So only II and IV are true.
27. E) M ≥ K > N ≤ R < W
I. W > K (False) II. M ≥ R (False)
III. K > W (False) IV. M > N (True)
So only IV is true.
