Given statements: M > N = O < P ≤ Q, R > S ≤ Q

On combining: M > N = O < P ≤ Q ≥ S < R

Conclusions:

I. N ≤ S → False (as N = O < P ≤ Q ≥ S, so no definite relationship can be determined between N and S)

II. O > S → False (as N = O < P ≤ Q ≥ S, so no definite relationship can be determined between O and S)

There are only three relations can be established between O which is equal to N and S. S can be greater than O, S can be less than O and S can be equal to O. These two conclusions are satisfying all three possible relations. That is why the answer will be either or between S and O.

Either I or II follow.
