Intelligence And Critical Reasoning | Quant Based Reasoning

In the following questions, the symbols $,#, @, * and % are used in the following meanings :

i). P$Q means P is not smaller than Q.
ii). P#Q means P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q.
iii). P@Q means P is not greater than Q.
iv). P*Q means P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q.
v). P%Q means P is neither greater than nor equal to Q.
Now in each of the following questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusion I and II given below them is/are definitely true.

Q. No. 1:	Statements : M$N, H@Q, B$M Conclusions : I. H#M II. Q#N
A :	If only conclusion I is true.
B :	If only conclusion II is true.
C :	If either I or II is true
D :	If neither I nor II is true
Solution Answer: D M>=N......(i) Q>=H......(ii) B>=M.........(iii) On combining we get B>=M>=N and Q>=H Conclusion I (H=M) not determined Conclusion II (Q=N) not determined.

Q. No. 2:	Statements : CB, L%S, S@C Conclusions : I. BS II. C*L
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 both conclusion I and II are true
Solution Answer: B C>B......(i) S>L.......(ii) C>=S..........(iii) On combining we get, C>=S>L and C>B Conclusion : I. B >S (Not determine) II. C>L (True)

Q. No. 3:	Statements : I$H, EF, I#F Conclusions : I. EI II. H%E
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 both conclusion I and II are true
Solution Answer: D I>=H........(i) E>F.........(ii) I=F............(iii) On combining we get, E>F=I>=H Conclusions : I. E>I (True) II. H<E (True)

Q. No. 4:	Statements : V#O, R$V, O$B Conclusions : I. R#B II. R*B
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 both conclusion I and II are true
Solution Answer: C V=O........(i) R>=V.......(ii) O>=B......(iii) On combining we get, R>=V=O>=B Conclusion: I. R = B II. R >B Hence, either I or II is true.

Q. No. 5:	Statements : LU, T#L, U@W Conclusions : I. TW II. U#W
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
Solution Answer: D L>U.......(i) T=L.......(ii) W>=U.......(iii) On combining we get, T=L>U and W>=U conclusions : I. T>W (Not determined) II. U = W (May or may not be true). So, neither I nor II is true.
