    Question

    In the following question, the symbols $, @, & , % and # are used with the following meanings as illustrated below: ‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor smaller to 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 not smaller than Q’   ‘P # Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q Now, in each of the following question assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is / are definitely true. Give answer.

    Statements: P % Q, Q & R, R @ S, S # T

    Conclusions: I. T & R                        II. P # S
    A If only conclusion I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either conclusion I or II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither conclusion I nor II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both conclusions I and II are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoded statement: P ≥ Q , Q > R, R < S, S ≤ T Decoded conclusion I.  T > R                          II. P ≤ S Combined Inequalities: P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T                                R < T. Hence conclusion I is true. P ≥ Q > R < S ≤ T                                No relationship can be established between P and S. Hence conclusion II is not true.
