Question

    In the following questions, the symbols @, &, $, % and # are used with the following meaning as illustrated below: 'A $ B' means 'A is not greater than B'. 'A @ B' means 'A is neither smaller than nor equal to B'. 'A # B' means' A is not smaller than B'. 'A & B' means 'A is neither greater than nor equal to B'. 'A % B' means 'A is neither smaller than nor greater than B'. Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.

    Statements: E # L, L @ U, U $ N, N % K

    Conclusions: I. K @ U II. K % U III. E @ U
    A Only I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only either I or II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only either I or II and III are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoded statement : E ≥ L, L > U, U ≤ N, N = K Decoded conclusion : I. K > U II. K = U III. E > U Combined Inequalities: E ≥ L > U ≤ N = K E ≥ L > U ≤ N = K U ≤ K. Hence either conclusion I or II is true. E ≥ L > U ≤ N = K E > U. Hence conclusion III is true.
