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 :
H © K, K%R, R § N
Conclusions :
I.N©K.
II. R%H
statements and their meanings are as follows:
H © K:{H}$$\geq$${K}
K%R:K=R
R § N:R<N
a simplified set of equations can be as follows: {H}$$\geq$${K}=R AND N>R.
conclusion I.N©K. implies {N}$$\geq$${K}, can be possible but since this not true always therefore cannot be true
conclusion II. R%H implies R=H cannot be inferred from the equations above.
since neither of the conclusions can be followed therefore the correct answer is option D
