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: J & K, K # L, L $ X, X @ M

    Conclusions: I. X $ K                        II. X & K
    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: J > K, K ≤ L, L = X, X < M Decoded conclusion I. X = K                            II. X > K Combined Inequalities: J > K ≤ L = X < M J > K ≤ L = X < M                K ≤ X. Hence either conclusion I or II is true.
