Which is more expensive in terms of processing costs

if ( x < 20 && z == "M") {
    // statements 3
}

if ( x >= 20 && w && x <= 65) {
    // statements 1
} 

if( x >= 20 &&z != "M"){
    // statements 2
}

or this

if ( x < 20 ) {
    if( z == 'M') // statements 3;
} else
    if ( x <= 65 && w == true ) // statements 1;
    if ( z == 'F' ) // statements 2;
}
