  • question_answer
    Direction: In each question given below certain symbols are used with the following meaning.
    \[P\,\Delta \,Q\] means ?P is greater than Q?.
    \[P\,\,\,\,Q\] means ?P is either greater than or equal to Q?.
    \[P\,\,*\,\,Q\] means ?P is equal to Q.?.
    \[P\,\,\#\,\,Q\] means ?P is either smaller than or equal to Q?.
    \[P\,\,\$\,\,Q\] means ?P is smaller than Q?.
    Statements:     \[A\,\,*\,\,B,\text{ }C\,\$\,D,\text{}A\,\Delta\,C,\text{}D\,\,\#\,\,E\]
    Conclusions I. \[C\,\,*\,\,B\] II. \[C\,\#\,E\]
    Now, in each of the following questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I & II given below them is/are definitely true.

    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 & II are true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[P\,\Delta \,Q\,\,\to \,\,P>Q\] \[P\,\,\,\,Q\,\,\,\,\to \,\,\,P\,\,\ge \,\,Q\] \[P\,\,*\,\,Q\,\,\,\to \,\,P\,\,=\,\,Q\] \[P\,\text{ }\!\!\#\!\!\text{ }\,Q\,\,\to \,\,P\,\,\le \,\,Q\] \[P\,\$\,Q\,\,\toP\,\,<\,\,Q\] (d) Statements:     \[A\,\,*\,\,B\text{ }\to \text{ }A\,\,=\,\,B\] \[C\,\$\,D\,\,\,\to\,\,C<D\] \[A\,\Delta \,C\,\,\to \,\,A>C\] \[D\,\,\#\,\,E\,\,\to \,\,D\le E\] \[\therefore \text{ }E\,\,\ge \,\,D>C<A=B\] Conclusions I. \[C\,\,*\,\,B\text{ }\to \text{ }C\,\,=\,\,B\]     (5) II.\[C\,\,\#\,\,E\,\,\to \,\,C\le E\]       (5)
