Question

In the following question, the symbols $, @, & , % and # are used with the following meanings as illustrated below: ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor smaller to B’  ‘A @ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor equal to 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 not greater than B Now, in each of the following question assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is / are definitely true. Give answer.

Statements: U % X, X & S, S $ J, J # L

Conclusions: I. U & S                       II. S # L

A If only conclusion I is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B If only conclusion II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C If either conclusion I or II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D If neither conclusion I nor II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E If both conclusion I and II are true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Decoded statement: U ≥ X, X > S, S = J, J ≤ L Decoded conclusion I. U > S                           II. S ≤ L Combined Inequalities: U ≥ X > S = J ≤ L U ≥ X > S = J ≤ L                 U > S. Hence conclusion I is true. U ≥ X > S = J ≤ L                 S ≤ L.      Hence conclusion II is true.
