Solution:

Concept:

Combine all inequality statements into a single chain and then compare the required elements.

Explanation:

Combine the given statements:

M \ge N > O

O = P < Q

, and

R \ge M

We get the chain:

R \ge M \ge N > O = P < Q

Check conclusion I:

R > Q

From the chain,

R

and

Q

are connected through opposite signs (

R \ge \ldots > \ldots < Q

), so no definite relation exists.

Thus, conclusion I is false.

Check conclusion II:

N > P

From the chain,

N > O

and

O = P

, so

N > P

Thus, conclusion II is true.

Answer:

Only conclusion II is true.

Option B.
