Direction: In the following questions, the symbols &, %, #, @ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
‘X # Y’ means ‘X is neither greater than nor equal to Y’.
‘X © Y’ means ‘X is neither smaller than nor greater than Y’.
‘X & Y’ means ‘X is not greater than Y’.
‘X % Y’ means ‘X is greater than Y’.
‘X @ Y’ means ‘X is either greater than or equal to Y’.
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be True, find which of the conclusion/s given below them is/are definitely True?
Statements:
A @ B, E © G, C % F # E, B & D © C
Conclusions:
I. C © A
II. F % A
III. G # B

Given Statement: A @ B, E © G, C % F # E, B & D © C
On converting: A ≥ B, E = G, C > F < E, B ≤ D = C
On combining: A ≥ B ≤ D = C> F < E = G
Conclusions:
I. C © A → C = A → False (as A ≥ B ≤ D = C → hence relation can’t be determined)
II. F % A → F > A → False (as A ≥ B ≤ D = C > F → hence relation can’t be determined)
III. G # B → G < B → False (as B ≤ D = C > F < E = G → relation can’t be determined)
Hence none of the conclusion is true.
