1. If 2x(S)3y and 3x(T)4z, then 9y(P)8z.
2. If x(Q)2y and y(R)z, then x(R)z.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1 only
B

D
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

- Q means '' which translates to 'less than or equal to' ($\le$) [40]
- S means 'not <' which translates to 'greater than or equal to' ($\ge$)
