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 # Z

    Conclusions: I. P & R II. R # Z
    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 ≤ Z Decoded conclusion: I. P > R II. R ≤ Z Combined Inequalities: P ≥ Q > R = S ≤ Z P ≥ Q > R = S ≤ Z                P > R. Hence conclusion I is true . P ≥ Q > R = S ≤ Z                R ≤ Z. Hence conclusion II is true .
