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 equal to B’.
‘A % B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor greater than B’.
‘A * B’ means ‘A is not greater than B’.
‘A $ B’ means ‘A is greater than B.
‘A © B’ means ‘A is either greater than or equal to B’.
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions ! and II given below them is/ are definitely true ?
Give answer a: if only Conclusion I is true.
Give answer b: if only Conclusion II is true.
Give answer c: if either Conclusion 1 or II is true.
Give answer d: if neither Conclusion I nor II is true.
Give answer e: if both Conclusions I and 11 are true.
Statements : ll
H * K, K § N, N $ W
Conclusions :
I. N $ H
II. W § H
statements and their meanings are as follows:
H * K:{H}$$\leq$${K}
K § N:K<N
N $ W:N>W
the equations can be simplified to:{H}$$\leq$${K}<N AND W<N.
conclusion I. N $ H: implies N>H, this can clearly be inferred from the equations hence it follows
conclusion II. W § H:implies W>H this cannot be inferred from the equations hence it doesn't follow.
since only conclusion 1 follows therefore the correct answer is option A
