    Solution

    Given statements: M @ N, P @ R, P & N After converting: M > N, P > R, P < N After combining: M > N > P > R Conclusion a → M @ P → M > P The relation between M and P in the statement M > N > P > R : M > P So, it is true. Conclusion b → R & M → R < M The relation between R and M in the statement M > N > P > R : R < M. So, it is also true.
