Question

    Directions : In the following questions, the symbols @, &, %, $ and # are used with the following meaning as illustrated below: ‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’ ‘P &Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’ ‘P# Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q’ ‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q’ ‘P % Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q’. Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions follow and give answer accordingly.

    Statement: Q % N # X % S $ Y; U @ K % N

    Conclusion: I. U @ Q II. Q & U
    A If only conclusion II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If neither conclusion I nor II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If either conclusion I or II is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both conclusions I and II are true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Decoded Statement: Q > N = X > S ≤ Y; U ≥ K > N Decoded Conclusion: I. U ≥ Q                     II. Q < U U ≥ K > N < Q                                     No relationship can be established between Q and U. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follows.
