a) If only one conclusion I follow

b) If only one conclusion II follow

c) If either conclusion I or II follow

d) If neither conclusion I or nor II follow

e) If both conclusions follow

Solution:

Statements : J = P ; P $\geq$ N ; J $\leq$ H

Combining above statements, we get : $H\geq J=P\geq N$

Conclusion :

I. J©N : $J=N$ : false
II. H@P : $H>P$ : false

Thus, neither conclusion I or nor II follow.

=> Ans – (D)

Solution:

Statements : L > T ; P < T ; K $\geq$ L

Combining above statements, we get : $K\geq L>T>P$

Conclusion :

I. L@P : $L>P$ : true
II. K@T : $K>T$ : true

Thus, both conclusions follow.

=> Ans – (E)

Question 5: R©U,U?Q,W$R Conclusion : I. W©U, II. W@U a) If only one conclusion I follow b) If only one conclusion II follow c) If either conclusion I or II follow d) If neither conclusion I or nor II follow e) If both conclusions follow 5) Answer (C) Solution: Statements : R = U ; U < Q ; W$\geq$R Combining above statements, we get :$Q>U=R$and$W\geq R=U$Conclusion : I. W©U :$W=U$: may be true II. W@U :$W>U$: may be true Thus, either conclusion I or II follow. => Ans – (C) Instructions These questions are based on the following information: ‘A @B’ means A is added to B ‘A★B’ MEANs A is multiplied by B ‘A#B’ means A is divide by B ‘A$B’ means B Is subtracted from A

Question 6: Marks by sujit in History (H) are 85% of this marks obtained in science(M).

a) H= (100#85)★M

b) H=85★100★M

c) H=85#100#M

d) H=(85#100)★M

e) None of these

Solution:

H = 85% of M

=> $H = \frac{85}{100} \times M$

$\therefore$ H = (85 # 100) ★ M

=> Ans – (D)

Question 7: salary of Mr X (S1) is more than 40% of Mr .Y’s salary(S2) BY Rs 8000.

a) S1=[S2★(40@100)]#8000

b) S1=[S2★(40#100)]@8000

c) S2=[S1★(40#100)]@8000

d) S2=[S1★(40@100)]#8000

e) None of these

Solution:

S1 = 40% of S2 + 8000

=> $S1 = (\frac{40}{100} \times S2) + 8000$

=> $S1 = (S2 \times 40 \div 100) + 8000$

$\therefore$ S1 = [S2 ★ (40 # 100)] @ 8000

=> Ans – (B)

Question 8: Number of boys in (B) IN class is equal to one fourth of three times the number of girls (G) in the class

a) B=(3#G)★4

b) B=(3★G)@4

c) B=(3★G)#4

d) B=(3$G)#4 e) None of these 8) Answer (C) Solution: B =$\frac{1}{4} \times 3 \times$G =>$B = (3 \times G) \div 4\therefore$B = (3 ★ G) # 4 => Ans – (C) Question 9: Population of state M(P1) is less than half of population of state of N(P2) by 1,50,000 a) P2=(P1#2)$1,50,000

b) P1=(P2#2)@1,50,000

c) P1=(P2#2)$1,50,000 d) P2=(P2#2)$1,50,000

e) None of these

Solution:

P1 = half of P2 – 1,50,000

=> P1 = $\frac{P2}{2}$ – 1,50,000

$\therefore$ P1 = (P2 # 2) $1,50,000 => Ans – (C) Question 10: Total age of 12 boys is X and the total age of the 13 girls is Y. What is the average age (A) of all the boys and girls together? a) A=(X@Y)#25 b) A=(X$Y)#25

c) A=(X@Y)★25

d) Cannot be determined

e) None of these

Solution:

A = total age/total students

=> A = (X + Y) $\div$ (12 + 13)

=> A = (X + Y) $\div$ 25

$\therefore$ A = (X @ Y) # 25

=> Ans – (A)
