Question

    (Q.91-95): In the questions given below, certain symbols are used with the following meanings: ‘A @ B’ means ‘A is greater than B’. ‘A * B’ means ‘A is either greater than or equal to B’. ‘A % B’ means ‘A is equal to B’. ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is either smaller than or equal to B’. ‘A < B’ means ‘A is smaller than B’. Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find out which of the conclusions I, II, III, IV given below them is/ are definitely true and mark your answer accordingly.

    Statements: F &lt; G; H $ I; I * J; J @ K

    Conclusions: I. J $ G II. J @ G III. I@J IV. G@K
    A None is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I and II are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III or IV is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E either I or II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoding: Statements: F < G; H ≤ I; I ≥ J; J > K Conclusions: I. J ≤ G II. J > G III. I > J IV. G > K F < G; H ≤ I ≥ J > K No relationship can be established between J and G, hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II will follow. However, since conclusions I and II make a complementary pair, either conclusion I or conclusion II will follow. F < G; H ≤ I ≥ J > K I ≥ J . Hence, conclusion III will not follow. F < G; H ≤ I ≥ J > K No relationship can be established between G and K. hence, conclusion IV will also not follow.
