    Direction: In the following questions, the symbols $, %, @, © and * are used for the following meanings as illustrated below:
    'A % B' means 'A is neither greater than nor smaller than B'.
    *A $ B' means 'A is neither smaller than nor equal to B'
    'A © B' means 'A is neither greater than nor equal to B'
    'A * B' means 'A is not greater than B'
    'A @ B' means 'A is not smaller than B'
    Which of the following expressions does not lead to 'P @ Q' and 'M © L' being definitely true?

    A)  P @ R % Q © M * N $ L

    B)  P @ R @ Q % M © N © L

    C)  P © R @ Q % M © N * L

    D)  P @ R % Q * M % N @ L

    E) P % S @ Q % M © N $ L

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[%\to \,=,\,\,\$\to\,>,\,\,\to\,\,<,\,\,*\to\,\,\le\,\,\to\,\ge,\] Given expressions: \[PQ\Rightarrow P\ge Q\] ?(i) \[M\,\,L\Rightarrow M<L\] ?(ii) Check options one by one. 1. \[PR\,\,%\,\,Q\,\,M*N\,\$\,L\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[P\ge R=Q<M\le N>L\] Hence \[P\ge Q\] is true. But \[M<L\]is not true. 2. \[P\,\,\,\,R\,\,\,\,Q\,\,%\,M\,\,N\,\,L\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[P\ge R\ge Q=M<N<L\] Thus, \[P\ge Q\]is true. Again, \[M<L\]is also true, Hence (b) follows. 3. \[P\,\,R\,\,\,\,Q\,\,%\,\,M\,\,N*L\] \[\Rightarrow \,P<R\ge Q=M<N\le L\] Thus, \[P\ge Q\]is not true. 4. \[P\,\,\,R\,\,%\,\,Q\,\,*M\,%\,NL\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[P\ge R=Q\le M=N\ge L\] Thus, \[P\ge Q\]is true. But \[M<L\]is not true. 5. P % S @ Q % M © N $ L \[\Rightarrow \]\[P=S\ge Q=M<N<L\] Thus, \[P\ge Q\]is true. But \[M<L\]is not true.
