2. b. D∆C
3. c. A∆C
4. d. B⊕D

Solution:

1. Answer: BONUSThe decoded relations as given are: C > A, A < B, D = B and B ≠ CThe decoded options are:D < C, D > C – Relationship between C and D is not defined. So, these options cannot be concluded.A > C – From the given, A cannot be greater than C.B ≠ D – From the given, B is equal to D and so this option cannot be true.None of the options is correct.
