Either A=D  or  A>D 
follows

2. R>P>=T
P<S=M>Q

R>M false

P=Q false

T<R true

3. X=Y<Z>A=B<=P>=R

X>R false

Z>P false

A<=P true

S>=M=N<B

U=S false

Either S=N or S>N

6-7: T > Q(85)
> V > S > P > R(55)

8-12: The word
and number rearrangement machine rearranges one word and one number in each
step from left to right end. It rearranges words in an alphabetical order. It
arranges numbers, such that if the number of alphabets in the word is even, the
number that will follow the word will be the square of the numbers of alphabets
in the word and if the number of alphabets is odd, then it is the odd number
that follows the word.
