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: B & C, C # D, D @ E, E % F

    Conclusions: I.    C & F                     II. E # 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: B > C, C ≤ D, D < E, E ≥ F Decoded conclusion I. C > F                            II.  E ≤ B Combined Inequalities: B > C ≤ D < E ≥ F B > C ≤ D < E ≥ FNo relationship can be established between C and F. Hence conclusion I is not true. B > C ≤ D < E ≥ FNo relationship can be established between B and E. Hence conclusion II is not true.
