Question

    In the following questions, the symbols %, $, #, @ and & are used with the following meaning as illustrated below: ‘Y%Z’ means ‘Y is not smaller than Z’. ‘Y$Z’ means ‘Y is not greater than Z’. ‘Y#Z’ means ‘Y is neither greater than nor equal to Z’. ‘Y@Z’ means ‘Y is neither smaller than nor equal to Z’. ‘Y & Z’ means ‘ Y is neither greater than nor smaller than Z’.

    Statements:       M # N # O $ P & Q % R % S

    Conclusions :      I. Q @ S                                II. Q & S                                  III. Q & O
    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B only III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only II & III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D either I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoding: Statements:  M < N < O ≤  P = Q ≥ R ≥ S Conclusions :      I. Q > S                  II. Q ≤ S                 III. Q = O M < N < O ≤  P = Q ≥ R ≥ S                             Q ≥ S. Hence, either conclusion I or II follows. M < N < O ≤  P = Q ≥ R ≥ S                             Q ≥ O.   No relationship can be established between Q and O hence, conclusion III will not follow.
