Question

    Statements: B & Y, Y # M, M $ X, X @ S

    Conclusions: I. X $ Y                        II. X & Y In the following question, the symbols $, @, & , % and # are used with the following meanings as illustrated below: ‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor smaller to Q’  ‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q ‘P & Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q ‘P % Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’  ‘P # Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q 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
    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: B > Y, Y ≤ M, M = X, X < S Decoded conclusion I. X = Y                            II. X > Y Combined Inequalities: B > Y ≤ M = X < S B > Y ≤ M = X < S               Y ≤ X. Hence either conclusion I or II is true.
