Answers:

1.  Statement: N=K, D≤K, R<K
Conclusions:
I. D=N
II. N>D
Answer: (c)
As N=K≥D we can say that either N=D or N>D

2. Statement:F≤M, M>R, K≥F
Conclusions:
I. M>K
II. R≥K
Answer: (d)
From the statement we get, K≥F≤M>R. Hence neither I nor II is true.

3. Statement: H=K, T<H, W≤T
Conclusions:
I. K>W
II. T<K
Answer: (e)
From the statement we get W≤T<H=K, hence K<W and T<K are definitely true.

4. Statement: N>A, A<L, F=N
Conclusions:
I. L>F
II. F>A
Answer: (b)
From the given statement we get F=N>A<L, hence F>A is definitely true but L>F is false.

5. Statement:B≤D, D=M, F>M
Conclusions:
I. B<M
II. F>B
Answer: (b)
From the statement we get B≤D=M<F, thus B<M is false as B can also be equal to M but F>B is definitely true.
