Question

    Statements:  S * K, T $ K, K @ B

    Conclusions:      a) S $ B                  b) S @ B In the following questions, the symbols @, #, %, $ and * are used with the following meaning as illustrated below. A * B means A is either equal to or greater than B. A $ B means A is equal to B. A # B means A is either equal to or smaller than B. A & B means A is smaller than B. A @ B means A is greater than B.
    A If only conclusion a is answer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion b is answer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either conclusion a or b is answer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither conclusion a nor b is answer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both conclusions a and b are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given statements: S * K, T $ K, K @ B After converting: S ≥ K, T = K, K > B After combining: S ≥ K = T > B Conclusion a → S $ B → S = B The relation between S and B in the statement S ≥ K = T > B : S = B So, it is not true. Conclusion b → S @ B → S > B The relation between S and B in the statement S ≥ K = T > B :   S > B. So, it is true.
