IV. F + K

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

  • F $ E → F < E
  • C * R → C > R
  • E © C → E = C
  • R @ K → R ≤ K

Since E = C and C > R:

E > R → Conclusion I follows. ✅

Also, F < E and E = C:

C > F → Conclusion II follows. ✅

For III, E < K cannot be determined. 
For IV, F ≥ K cannot be determined. 

Answer: Only I and II follow.
