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 :
R$T. T©M, M%J
Conclusions :
I.J %T
II. J § T
statements and their meanings are as follows:
R$T:R>T
T©M:{T}$$\geq$${M}
M%J:M=J.
the above statements can be simplified as :R>{T}$$\geq$${M}=J.
conclusion I.J %T: implies J=T, can be true as can be inferred from the equation
conclusion II. J § T:implies J<T,can be true as can be inferred from the equation.
since both the conclusions cannot be inferred simultaneously therefore the correct answer is option C
