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: J @ K, K $ L, L & M, M % N

    Conclusions: I. K @ M                  II. N & J
    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: J < K, K = L, L > M, M ≥ N Decoded conclusion M. K < M                        II. N > J Combined Inequalities: J < K = L > M ≥ N J < K = L > M ≥ NK > M. Hence conclusion I is not true. J < K = L > M ≥ NNo relationship can be established between N and J. Hence conclusion II is not true.
