Question

    In the following question, the symbols $, @, & , % and # are used with the following meanings as illustrated below: ‘R $ S’ means ‘R is neither greater than nor smaller to S’  ‘R @ S’ means ‘R is neither greater than nor equal to S ‘R & S’ means ‘R is neither smaller than nor equal to S ‘R % S’ means ‘R is not smaller than S’   ‘R # S’ means ‘R is not greater than S 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: D % E, E & A, A @ B, B # C

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