  • 'P © Q' means 'P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q'
  • 'P % Q' means 'P is neither smaller than nor greater than 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 questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.

Q-1)   Statements:
R @ D, D © W, B $ W
Conclusions:
I. W # R
II. B © D
III. W $ R

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

R ≤ D ...(i); D > W ...(ii); B ≥ W ...(iii)

None of the inequations can be combined.

However, either I (W < R) or III (W ≥ R) must be true.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

Z < F ...(i); R ≤ F ...(ii); D > R ...(iii)

Clearly, the inequations can't be combined.

Q-3)   Statements:
K # T, T $ B, B @ F
Conclusions:
I. F $ T
II. K # B
III. T $ F

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

K < T ...(i); T ≥ B ...(ii); B ≤ F ...(iii)

Clearly, the inequations can't be combined.


Directions:

In the following questions, the symbols @, #, %, $ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:

  • 'P # Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor equal to Q'.
  • 'P © Q' means 'P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q'
  • 'P % Q' means 'P is neither smaller than nor greater than 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 questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.

Q-4)   Statements:
H $ V, V % M, K © M
Conclusions:
I. K © V
II. M @ H
III. H © K

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

H ≥ V ...(i); V = M ...(ii); K > M ...(iii)

Combining these, we get H ≥ V = M < K

Hence K > V and I follows.

Also, M ≤ H and II follows.

But H and K can't be compared. Hence III does not follow.

In the following questions, the symbols @, #, %, $ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:

  • 'P # Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor equal to Q'.
  • 'P © Q' means 'P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q'
  • 'P % Q' means 'P is neither smaller than nor greater than 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 questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.

Q-5)   Statements:
M © R, R % D, D @ N
Conclusions:
I. M © N
II. N $ R
III. M © D

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

M > R ...(i); R = D ...(ii); D ≤ N ...(iii)

Combining these, we get M > R = D ≤ N

I does not follow as M and N can't be related.

N ≥ R and II follows.

M > D and III follows.


Directions:

(e)

Explanation:

G = H < I; J > K; I ≤ J

I. H < J

II. G > K

So conclusion I is follow
