Question

    Statements:           M @ N,        N + P, 

          O % P,       O % R   Conclusions:        I. M # O                II. R + P            III. N % O In these questions the symbols @, %, # ,+ and $ are used with different meanings as follows: ‘A @ B’ means ‘ A is not greater than B’. ‘A % B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor equal to B’. ‘A #  B’ means ‘A is not smaller than B’. ‘A + B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor equal to B’.   ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor smaller than B’ Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find out which of the conclusions I, II and III given below them is/ are definitely true and mark your answer accordingly.
    A None is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I and II are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II and III are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoding: Statements:           M ≤ N,         N > P,          O < P,        O < R Conclusions:        I. M ≥ O                II. R > P            III. N < O M ≤ N > P > O < R              No relationship can be establish between M, O and P, R. M ≤ N > P > O < R              ∴ N >O.   Hence, Conclusion III will not follow.
