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.

The following question based on Coded Inequalities topic of verbal reasoning

Questions : Statements:
K # T, T $ B, B @ F
Conclusions:
I. F $ T
II. K # B
III. T $ F

(a) Only I is true

(b) Only I and II are true

(c) None is true

(d) Only II and III are true

e) All are true

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

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

Clearly, the inequations can't be combined.

Directions:

In each of the following questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the following two conclusions I and II is/are definitely true.

In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions.

Question : 1

Statements:
E < F ≤ G = H > S


Conclusions:
I. G > S
II.F ≤ H

a) if only conclusion II is true.

b) if either I or II is true.

c) if only conclusion I is true.

d) if neither I nor II is true.

e) if both I and II are true.

Answer: (e)

E < F ≤ G = H > S

Conclusion I: G > S : True

Conclusion II: F ≤ H : True

Question : 2

Statements:
P ≥ F,
L = K,
N = P,
F ≥ L,


Conclusions:
I. F = K
II. F > K

a) if only conclusion II is true.

b) if either I or II is true.

c) if only conclusion I is true.

d) if neither I nor II is true.

e) if both I and II are true.

Answer: (b)

N = P ≤ F ≥ L = K

I. Not follow

II. Not follow

But (I) + (II) is true

Question : 3

Statements:
M ≥ N,
K < L,
N > O,
K > M,


Conclusions:
I. O < M
II. O < K

a) if only conclusion II is true.

b) if either I or II is true.

c) if only conclusion I is true.

d) if neither I nor II is true.

e) if both I and II are true.

Answer: (e)

L > K > M ≥ N > O

I. Follow

II. Follow

Question : 4

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

a) Only II and III are true

b) Only I and III are true

c) Only I and II are true

d) All are true

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

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.

Question : 5

Statements:
Z # F, R @ F, D © R
Conclusions:
I. Z # R
II. F # D
III. D @ Z

a) Only I is true

b) Only III is true

c) None is true

d) Only either I or III is true

e) All are true

Answer: (c)

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

Clearly, the inequations can't be combined.

Question : 6

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

a) Only II and III are true

b) Only I and II are true

c) Only I and III are true

d) All are true

e) None of these

Answer: (b)

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.
