Directions: In the following questions, the symbols #, %, *, & and @ are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
P & Q means “P is neither smaller nor equal to Q”.
P % Q means “P is not smaller than Q”.
P @ Q means “P is not greater than Q”.
P # Q means “P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q”.
P * Q means “P is neither greater nor equal to Q”.
Based on the information provided above, answer the following questions.Statements:
T % F * G & D, F # R # U
Conclusions:
a) D # U
b) T % RAccording to the information given,

Given statement: T % F * G & D, F # R # U
After converting: T ≥ F < G > D, F = R = U
On combining: T ≥ F = R = U < G > D
Conclusions:
I) D # U ⇒ D = U → False (Cannot be determined as U < G > D so there is no clear relation between D and U)
II) T % R ⇒ T ≥ R → True (as T ≥ F and F = R)
Hence only conclusion II follows.
