According to me none of the options are correct because both of the options cannot be concluded from the given arrangement.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following questions, the symbols @, #,% , © and * are used with the following meanings:

P @ Q means P is not smaller than Q.
P # Q means P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q.
P % Q means P is not greater than Q.
P © Q means P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q.
P * Q means P is neither greater than nor equal to Q.

Choose correct answer as given in options.

Statements: 

H@Y,  E@C, K*Y, K © C
Conclusions: 
I. H©C
II. E*H

Options:
A) If only conclusion I is true.
B) If only conclusion II is true.
C) If either conclusion I or II is true.
D) If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
E) If both conclusion I and II are true.
Solution:

Statements:

H>Y,  E>C, K<Y, K > C

H>Y>K>C

E>C

Conclusions: 
I. H>C           ( true)

Hence, conclusion I is true.

You know Ayush, we have only three symbols in inequality to establish relationship between two elements i.e. >,<,=. So, one of them must occur between two elements even if we have given relationship in the statement or not...that doesn't matter....

so, none of the given conclusion is independently true but on combining we get all the three symbols of inequality between E and H, so one of them must be true. so, either or is correct answer.
