    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: A & D, D # P, P @ Q, Q % R

    Conclusions: I.  D & R                     II. Q # A
    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: A > D, D ≤ P, P < Q, Q ≥ R Decoded conclusion I. D > R                          II.  Q ≤ A Combined Inequalities: A > D ≤ P < Q ≥ R A > D ≤ P < Q ≥ R               No relationship can be established between D and R. Hence conclusion I is not true. A > D ≤ P < Q ≥ R               No relationship can be established between A and Q. Hence conclusion II is not true.
