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 @ E, E $ Y, Y & I, I % C

    Conclusions: I. E @ I                        II. C & B
    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 < E, E = Y, Y > I, I ≥ C Decoded conclusion I. E < I                              II. C > B Combined Inequalities: B < E = Y > I ≥ C B < E = Y > I ≥ C  E > I. Hence conclusion I is not true. B < E = Y > I ≥ C  No relationship can be established between C and B. Hence conclusion II is not true.
