    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 questions assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is/are true. Answer.

    Statements: P @ Q, Q $ R, R & S, S % T

    Conclusions: I. Q @ S II. T & P
    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: P < Q, Q = R, R > S, S ≥ T Decoded conclusion: I. Q < S II. T > P Combined Inequalities: P < Q = R > S ≥ T P < Q = R > S ≥ T              Q > S. Hence conclusion I is not true . P < Q = R > S ≥ T              No relationship can be established between T and P. Hence conclusion II is not true .
