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: M % N, N & A, A @ B, B # C

    Conclusions: I. C & A                       II. M # 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: M ≥ N , N > A, A < B, B ≤ C Decoded conclusion B.  C > A                         II. M ≤ B Combined Inequalities: M ≥ N > A < B ≤ C M ≥ N > A < B ≤ C                             A < C. Hence conclusion I is true. M ≥ N > A < B ≤ C                             No relationship can be established between M and B. Hence conclusion II is not true.
