Question

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

Statements: B & A, A # O, O $ Z, Z @ S

Conclusions:

I. Z $ A

II. Z & A

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 > A, A ≤ O, O = Z, Z < S Decoded conclusion: I. Z = A II. Z > A Combined Inequalities: B > A ≤ O = Z < S B > A ≤ O = Z < S ≤ Z. Hence either conclusion I or II is true.
