Question

    In the following questions, the symbols @, © , %, $ and * are used with the following meaning as illustrated below.   ‘P © Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’.   ‘P * Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q’. ‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’. ‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q’. ‘P % Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q’.

    Statements: J $ K, K * T, T @ N, N © R

    Conclusions:   I. J $ T                   II.R * T                  III.N $ K                                IV.R * K
    A Only I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C None is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    given statements:  J $ K, K * T, T @ N, N © R After converting: J > K, K ≤ T , T < N , N ≥ R After combining: J > K ≤ T < N ≥ R Conclusion a → J $ T → J > T ( J > K ≤ T ) No relationship can be established between J and T so, it is not true. Conclusion b → R * T → R ≤ T (T < N ≥ R) No relationship can be established between R and T so, it is not true. Conclusion c → N $ K → N > K ( K ≤ T < N ), it is true. Conclusion d → R * K → R ≤ K (K ≤ T < N ≥ R) No relationship can be established between R and K so, it is not true.
