Directions (6-10): In the following questions the symbols >, <, ≥, ≤, = are used with the following meanings. These statements are followed by two conclusions:
Give answer as:

(b) if only conclusion II follows.
(c) if either conclusion I or II follows.
(d) if neither conclusion I nor II follows.
(e) if both conclusions I and II follow.
'A > B' means 'A is neither smaller nor greater than B'
'A < B' means 'A is neither smaller than nor equal to B'
'A ≥ B' means 'A is not greater than B'
'A ≤ B' means 'A is not smaller B'
'A = B' means 'A is neither greater than nor equal to B'

Directions (11-15): In each of the questions given below, a group of letters is given followed by some combinations of number and symbols. You have to find out which of given combinations correctly represents the group of letters based on the numbers/symbols codes and the conditions given below. If none of the given combinations represents the group of digits correctly, give (e) i.e. ‘None of these’ as the answer.
Condition for coding the group digits:
(i) If the first letter is vowel and last letter is consonant, then the codes for the first and the last letter are to be interchanged.
(ii) If the first as well as the last letter is vowel, then both are to be coded by the code for the last letter.
(iii)If the first as well as the last letter is consonant, then both are to be coded by the code for the first letter.
