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 two conclusions I and II given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.

    Statements: X @ Y $ Z & U, Z @ V

    Conclusions: I. V # X II. V $ X

    A Only conclusion I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusion I and II are true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Either conclusion I or II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Neither conclusion I nor II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoded statement : X ≤ Y = Z < U, Z ≤ V Decoded conclusion : I. V > X II. V = X Combined Inequalities: X ≤ Y = Z ≤ V X ≤ Y = Z ≤ V X ≤ V. Hence either conclusion I or II is true.
