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 : B @ J, J * H, H © N
Conclusions :
I. N @ J
II.N @ B
the statements and their explanations are as follows:
B @ J:B>J
J * H:J<H
H © N:{H}$$\geq$${N}
a simplified equation can be: N>{H}$$\geq$${N} AND B>J
conclusion I. N @ J: implies N>J, which can be directly inferred from the above equations
conclusion II.N @ B:implies N>B which cannot be inferred as there is no direct relation between the two.
therefore the answer is option A.
