Question

    Answer the questions based on the information given below. A & B means A is smaller than B A % B means A is not smaller than B A @ B means A is not greater than B A $ B means A is greater than B A # B means A is neither greater nor smaller than B.

    Which of the following set of symbols should be placed

    in the blanks respectively (from right to left) in the given expression in order to make the expressions V ≥ S and R < W definitely true? Statement: R __ S @ T @ U __ V __ W % X
    A $, #, # Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B #, #, & Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C $, &, % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D %, %, & Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E #, %, % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    After decoding the signs of the given statement and options, we get: R __ S ≤ T ≤ U __ V __ W ≥ X Option '1': >, =, = Option '2': =, =, < Option '3': >, < , ≥ Option '4': ≥, ≥, < Option '5': =, ≥, ≥ Replacing the signs of option '1' in the given expression, R = S ≤ T ≤ U = V > W ≥ X, it doesn't satisfy the given condition. Replacing the signs of option '2' in the given expression, R < S ≤ T ≤ U = V = W ≥ X, it satisfies the given condition. Replacing the signs of option '3' in the given expression, R ≥ S ≤ T ≤ U < V > W ≥ X, it doesn't satisfy the given condition. Replacing the signs of option '4' in the given expression, R < S ≤ T ≤ U ≥ V ≥ W ≥ X, it doesn't satisfy the given condition. Replacing the signs of option '5' in the given expression, R ≥ S ≤ T ≤ U ≥ V = W ≥ X, it doesn't satisfy the given condition.
