In the following questions, the symbols §, *, $, @ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q`.
‘P § Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’.
‘P © Q’ means ‘P is either smaller than or equal to Q’.
‘P * Q’ means ‘P is smaller than Q’.
‘P @ Q’ means is neither smaller than nor equal to Q’.
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is/ are definitely true ?
Give answer:
a: if only Conclusion I is true.
b: if only Conclusion II is true.
c: if either Conclusion I or II is true.
d: if neither Conclusion I nor II is true,
e: if both Conclusions I and II are true.
Statements : V § T, T @ N, N $ J
Conclusions :
I. J * T
II. N * V
statements with their explanations are as follows:
V § T: {V}$$\geq$${T}
T @ N:T>N
N $ J:N=J
one simplified equation will be: {V}$$\geq$${T}>N=J.
conclusion I. J * T:J<T, is true as can be seen from the main equation above
conclusion II. N * V:N<V is true as can be seen from the main equation above.
since both the conclusions follow therefore the answer is option E
