II. A-B means A is not greater than B.
III. AxB means A is not smaller than B.
IV. A÷B means A is neither greater nor equal to B.
V. A±B means A is neither smaller nor greater than B.

Statement: PxQ , P-T , T÷R, R±S
Conclusion-1: Q±T

Explanation:

Correct option:2

Solution:
From the given statement, we can interpret the following:
I. P is not smaller than Q (P≥Q)
II. P is not greater than T (P≤T)
III. T is not smaller than R (T≥R)
IV. R is neither greater nor equal to S (R< S)

Now, let’s analyze the conclusions:

Conclusion-1: Q is neither greater nor equal to T (Q< T). This conclusion does not follow from the statement because we know that P≥Q and P≤T, but we cannot determine the relationship between Q and T.

Conclusion-2: S is not smaller than Q (S≥Q). This conclusion follows from the statement. Since P≥Q, P≤T, T≥R, and R<S, we can infer that S≥Q.

Therefore, only Conclusion-2 follows from the statement. So, the correct answer is (b) Only Conclusion-2 follows from the Statement.
