  • question_answer
    Direction: In the following questions, the symbols c,  %, \[\mathbf{}\] and \[\mathbf{\#}\] are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
    \[P\,\,\,\,Q\] means ?P is neither greater than nor equal to Q?,
    \[P\,\,\$\,\,Q\] means ?P is not smaller than Q?       
    \[P\,\,\#\,\,Q\] means ?P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q?.
    \[P\text{ }\left( c \right)\text{ }Q\] means ?P is not greater than Q?.
    \[P\,%\,Q\] means ?P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q?.
    Statements:     \[B\,\,\,\,E,\,\,E\,\,\#\,\,S,\,\,S\,\,\$\,\,Z\]
    Conclusions I. \[Z\,\,\,\,E\] II. \[E\,\,\#\,\,Z\]
    Now in each of the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and 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 conclusion I and II are true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}    \text{ }=\text{ }P\text{ }<\text{ }Q  \\    S\text{ }=\text{ }P\text{ }\ge \text{ }Q  \\    \#\text{ }=\text{ }P\text{ }=\text{ }Q  \\    \begin{align}   & \text{ }=\text{ }P\text{ }\le \text{ }Q \\  & %\text{ }=\text{ }P\text{ }>\text{ }Q \\ \end{align}  \\ \end{array}~~~~~~~~~~~\] (c) Statement: \[B<E,\,\,E=S,\,\,S\ge Z\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\text{ }B<E=S\ge Z\] Conclusions I. \[Z\,\,<\,\,E\]   (3 5) II. \[E\,\,=\,\,Z\]      (5 3)
