Explanation:

Only conclusion II follows.
Option 2, is hence the correct answer.
Common explanation:
There is a priority order of the symbols according to which the priority of the symbol is decided to reach the conclusion. Whenever there are two or more type of symbols are there between two objects whose relation is to be determine we have to use this order.
If the direction of sign is opposite between that two objects, no relation can be stated perfectly and we have to say that it does not follow.
Priority Order:
1.      > and <
2.      ≥ and ≤
3.           =
For conclusion I: N > T
Combining statement I and II:
N ≤ O ≥ R > S = T
As, the signs between N and T are in opposite direction, hence the relation cannot be concluded.
Hence, the conclusion does not follow.
For conclusion II: P > T
Combining statement I and II:
P ≥ O > R > S = T
As, “>” is having highest priority in all the signs present here, so P > T is the true relation.
Hence, the conclusion follows.
Only conclusion II follows
