Question

    In the following question, the symbols $, @, & , % and # are used with the following meanings as illustrated below: ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor smaller to B’  ‘A @ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor equal to B ‘A & B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor equal to B ‘A % B’ means ‘A is not smaller than B’   ‘A # B’ means ‘A is not greater than B 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: B % L, L & Y, Y @ I, I # Q

    Conclusions: I. Q & Y                       II. B # I

    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 conclusion I and II are true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoded statement: B ≥ L , L > Y, Y < I, I ≤ Q Decoded conclusion I.  Q > Y                          II. B ≤ I Combined Inequalities: B ≥ L > Y < I ≤ Q B ≥ L > Y < I ≤ Q                  Y < Q. Hence conclusion I is true. B ≥ L > Y < I ≤ Q                  No relationship can be established between B and I. Hence conclusion II is not true.
