Option 4 : neither (i) nor (ii)

Using the ‘>’ to imply the winner in encounters between the two, we can conclude the following from the given statements:
I. P > Q
II. R > S

III. S > P (only sometimes = more likely to win).
IV. Q > R
Based on this, we can analyse the given statements:
i) P is likely to defeat the other players is not true, as P tends to lose to S, and we cannot determine the performance against R.
ii) S is the worst player amongst the lot is always untrue as S tends to defeat P in most encounters.

Hence neither statement (i) nor (ii) can be logically inferred from the given statement.

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: The rupee may slump to a new low this year amid global policy uncertainties while domestic interest rates will remain elevated, raising borrowing costs, according to an ET poll of 20 market participants. Nearly three-fourths of the respondents believe the local unit could touch 69 to the dollar with some even pointing to 70 by December-end. The rupee is one of the worst-performing emerging market currencies this year, having lost about 6.7 per cent to the greenback to close at 68.13 on Monday. Courses of action: I. Indian corporates may borrow less ahead of elections with the likely benchmark rate at 8 per cent or more. Half the poll participants were of the opinion that the benchmark yield will either hover around that level or rise further. II. External factors coupled with domestic macro measures like weak current account deficit or fiscal deficit are likely to impact the rupee. The US Fed seems to be on course to raise rates. III. Upcoming elections trigger a bit of policy uncertainty. A cocktail of factors including dollar strengthening, foreign fund outflows, general emerging market weakness and oil would continue to weigh on the rupee.?
