Answers 

1. E

2. B

3. B

4. B

5. A

From the given information,
© means >=
% means <=
@ means =
# means <
$ means >

6. D.

D>N<A>=S
 S#N means S<N which is false,
D$A means D>A which is false.
Hence, neither I nor II are true.

 7. B.

 K>=T>R<S

S$T means S>T which is false,
R#K means R<K which is true.

Hence, Only II is true.

 8. A. 

 J>U>=M<P
J$M means J>M which is true,
P$U means P>U which is false.
Hence, Only I is true.

9. C

 F<A=T.>H

 F#H means F<H which is false,
F©H means F>=H which is false.

both a and b follow separtely.
.
10. E.

M<=I<T=H

 H$I means HI which is true,
