    I .F @ C 
    II. E @ C
A.) If only conclusion I is true
B.) If only conclusion II is true
C.) If either conclusion I or conclusion II is true
D.) If both conclusions I and II are true.

Answer: Option 'D'

‘A $ B’ -> A !> B, therefore A = B. 
‘A @ B’ -> A B. 
‘A & B’ -> A !> B and A ‘A © B’ -> A !> B and A ‘A % B’ -> A C & D -> C < D 
D $ E -> D = E 
E © F -> E = F 
Therefore C < D = E = F

B.) If only conclusion II is true
C.) If either conclusion I or conclusion II is true
D.) If neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true

Answer: Option 'D'

D & H -> D = H 
H $ P -> H = P 
P @ Q -> P > Q 
Therefore D = H = P > Q 
Conclusions: 
1. D @ P -> D > P ( Not True )

A © B -> A = B 
B % C -> B = C 
C & D -> C < D 
Therefore A = B = C < D 
Conclusions: 
1. C & A -> C < A ( Not True ) 
2. C © A -> C = A ( Not True ) 
C is either smaller than or equal to A. Therefore, either conclusion I or conclusion II is follows

A.) Only II is true
B.) Only I and III are true
C.) Only I is true
D.) Only III is true

Answer: Option 'B'

I)A $ B means A not a lessthan B Therefore, A = B 
II) A # B means A not a greater than B Therefore, A = B 
III) A @ B means A not a lessthan B and A ? B Therefore, A = B 
IV) A © B means A not a lessthan B and A !> B Therefore, A = B 
V ) A % B means A not a greater than B and A ? B Therefore, A < B 
H % J -> H < J 
J © N -> J = N 
N @ R -> N > R 
Therefore, H < J = N > R 
Conclusions: 
I. R % J -> R < J ( True ) 
II. H @ J -> H > J ( Not true) 
III. N @ J -> N > H (True) 

  • 9. Statements: 
    M @ J, J $ T, T © N 
    Conclusions: 
    I. N # J 
    II. T % M 
    III. M @ N 
A.) Only I and II are true
B.) Only II and III are true
C.) Only I and III are true
D.) All are true

Answer: Option 'D'

M % J -> M > J 
J $ T -> J = T 
T © N -> T = N 
Therefore, M > J = T = N 
Conclusions: 
I. N # J -> N = J ( true ) 
II. T % M -> T < M ( true) 
III. M @ N -> M > N ( true) 

  • 10. Statements: 
    D © K, K # F, F @ P 
    Conclusions: 
    I. P @ D 
    II. K # P 
    III. F $ D
A.) Only II is true
B.) Only I and II are true
C.) Only III is true
D.) Only II and III are true

Answer: Option 'C'

D © K -> D = K 
K # F -> K = F 
F @ P -> F > P 
Therefore, D = K = F > P 
Conclusions: 
I. P @ D -> P > D ( Not true ) 
II. K # P -> K = P ( Not true ) 
III.F $ D -> F = D ( True )
