Directions: The symbols @, ©, $, % and * are used with different meanings as follows:
'P © Q' means 'P is either greater than or equal to Q'
'P $ Q' means 'P is either smaller than or equal to Q'
'P % Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q'
'P * Q' means 'P is greater than Q'
'P @ Q' means 'P is smaller than Q'
In each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find out which of the following of the two conclusions I and II given below them is/are definitely true. Given answer
Statements: B @ H, H $ N, N % F
Conclusions:
I. F © H
II. N * B
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
1. Conclusion I: F © H (F > H)
N = F and H < NI
If we replace N with F, the relation becomes: H < FI
This means F is greater than or equal to H (F > H).
Conclusion I is definitely true.
2. Conclusion II: N * B (N > B)
B < H and H < NI
Since B is definitely smaller than H and H is either equal to or smaller than N, B will always be smaller than N.
This means N > B.
Conclusion II is definitely true.
Correct answer = Both conclusions I and II are true.
