Direction: In the following questions, the symbols @, %, #, & and $ are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
‘A @ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor smaller than B.’
‘A % B’ means ‘A is not greater than B.’
‘A # B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor equal to B.’
‘A & B’ means ‘A is not smaller than B.’
‘A $ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor equal to B.’
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the conclusions given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.
Statements:
C @ D, D & P, K $ P
Conclusions:
I. C # P
II. C @ P$
- AOption (a)
Only conclusion I is true
- BOption (b)
Only conclusion II is true
- COption (c)
Both conclusion I and II are true
- DOption (d)
Either conclusion I or II is true
- EOption (e)
Neither conclusion I nor II is true

Correct answer
Either conclusion I or II is true
Why this answer is correct
According to the given information,
| A is | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symbol | @ | % | # | & | $ |
| Meaning | = | ≤ | > | ≥ | < |
| To B |
Given
Statement:
C @ D, D & P, K $ P
On Converting: C = D, D ≥ P, K < P
On Combining: C = D ≥ P > K
Conclusions:
I. C # P → C > P → False (C = D ≥ P → C ≥ P, Here relation for C and P is not definite)
II. C @ P → C = P → False (C = D ≥ P → C ≥ P, Here relation for C and P is not definite)
Note:
Conclusion I and II are complementary pairs.
Hence, Either conclusion I or II is true.
