In the following, the symbols +, -, ×, ÷ and = are used as follows:
a = b means a is not equal to b.
a - b means a is neither greater than nor equal to b.
a + b means a is either equal to or greater than b.
a ÷ b means a is neither equal to nor smaller than b.
a × b means a is neither smaller nor greater than b.
Statement: L × M, L + N, N - T
Conclusions:
I. M - T
II. L × N

Correct answer: C
Explanation
Decoding the given symbols:
a = b means a is not equal to b.
a - b means a is neither greater than nor equal to b.
a + b means a is either equal to or greater than b.
a ÷ b means a is neither equal to nor smaller than b.
a × b means a is neither smaller nor greater than b.
Given Statements:
1. L × M,
2. L + N,
3. N - T
Combining the statements:
Evaluating Conclusions:
• I. : From , opposing inequality signs exist between and , so no definite relation can be established. (Does not follow)
• II. : From , can be either greater than or equal to . Thus, is not definitely true. (Does not follow)
Therefore, neither I nor II follows.
