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:       A @ D % M % N; M $ P $ Q

    Conclusions :      I.  D % Q                               II. A @ N                  III. P $ D
    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 Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoding: Statements: A > D ≥ M ≥ N; M ≤ P ≤ Q Conclusions :      I.  D ≥ Q                                II. A > N     III. P ≤ D A > D ≥ M ≤ P ≤ Q             No relationship can be established between D and Q hence, conclusion I will not follow. A > D ≥ M ≥ N                      A > N. Hence, conclusion II will follow. A > D ≥ M ≤ P ≤ Q             No relationship can be established between D and P hence, conclusion III will not follow.
