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: V & T, T # L, L $ Z, Z @ A

    Conclusions: I. Z $ T                         II. Z & T
    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: V > T, T ≤ L, L = Z, Z < A Decoded conclusion I. Z = T                            II. Z > T Combined Inequalities: V > T ≤ L = Z < A V > T ≤ L = Z < AT ≤ Z. Hence either conclusion I or II is true.
