'A % B' means A is not greater than B'. 'A * B' means A is nether smaller than nor equal to B'. 'A @ B' means A is nether greater than nor smaller than to B'. 'A $ B' means A is nether greater than nor equal to B'. In each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true. find out which of the conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true?
- 6. Statements :
O % P, P @ N, N * R
Conclusions : I. N @ O
II. N * O
III. R $ P
A.Only I is true
B.Only II is true
C.Only III is true
D.Only either I or II and III are true
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option D 
(i) A © B ⇒ A ≥ B
(ii) A % B ⇒ A ≤ B
(iii)A * B ⇒ A > B
(iv) A @ B ⇒ A = B
(v) A $ B ⇒ A
O % P ⇒ O ≤ P
P @ N ⇒ P = N
N * R ⇒ N > R
Therefore, O ≤ P = N > R
Conclusions : I. N @ O => N = F : Not true
II. N * O => N > O : Not True
N is either greater than or equal to O

R * D, D © K, K $ M
Conclusions : I. M * R
II. K $ R
III. D * M
A.None is true
B.Only I is true
C.Only II is true
D.Only III is true
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option C
R * D => R > D
D © K => D ≥ K
K $ M => K ∴ R > D ≥ K Conclusions
I. M * R => N > R : Not True
II. K $ R => K III. D * M => D > M : Not True
