Question

    In these questions, symbols $, *, #, % and @ are used with different meaning as follows: ‘X $ Y’ means ‘X is not smaller than Y.’ ‘X * Y’ means ‘X’ is greater than Y’. ‘X # Y’ means ‘X’ is not greater than Y’. ‘X % Y’ means ‘X’ is smaller than Y’. ‘X @ Y’ means ‘X is neither smaller than nor greater than Y.’

    Statements: M * T, D % T, D # K, K $ R

    Conclusions: I. M * D      II. T # K                                III. K * M              IV. R @ T
    A Only I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II and III is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only IV is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

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