b) E > C

Explanation

In the expression A > B ≥ C < D < E

E > C conclusion only follow

Option (a) definitely false

Option (c) & (d) can’t find relationship

2) In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions.

Statement:N = P, P < F, F > L, L = K

Conclusions:

I. F = K

II. F > K

a) If only Conclusion I follows

b) If only Conclusion II follows

c) If either Conclusion I or II follows

d) If neither Conclusion I nor II follows

e) If both conclusions I and II follow.

Explanation

Statement:

N = P < F > L = K

Conclusion:

(i) F = K – Not follow

(ii) F > K – Follow

Only conclusion (ii) follow

e) If both conclusions I and II follow.

Explanation:

Conclusion:

O < M – Follow

O ≤ K – Follow

both (i) & (ii) follow

6) In the following questions, the symbols #, $, @, * and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:‘P # Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q

‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q’

‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’

‘P * Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q’

‘P © Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q’

Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is/are definitely true.Statements:F # G, N $ G, N © T

Conclusions:

I. T @ F

II. N * F

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

e) If both Conclusion I and II are true

Explanation

# ≥

$ =

@ <

© >

* ≤

Statement:

F ≥ G = N > T

Conclusion:

T < F – Follow

N ≤ F – Follow

both (i) & (ii) follow 

7) In the questions given below, certain symbols are used with the following meaning.

A @ B means A is greater than B.

A * B means A is either greater than or equal to B.

A # B means A is equal to B.

A $ B means A is either smaller than or equal to B

A + B means A is smaller than B

Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is / are definitely True?

Statements:

D + T; E $ V; F * T; E @ D

Conclusions:

I. D $ V

II. D + F

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 and II are true.

  b) if only conclusion II is true

Explanation

@  > ;

*  ≥;

#  =;

$  ≤

+  <

D < T; E ≤ V; F ≥ T; E > D

V ≥ E > D < T ≤ F

From above conclusion we can come to the conclusion as D ≤ V – Not follow

D < F – Follow  

8) If P denotes +, Q denotes – , R denotes × and S denotes ÷, then which of the following statements is correct?

a) 16 R 12 P 49 S 7 Q 9 = 200

b) 32 S 8 R 9 = 160 Q 12 R 12

c) 8 R 8 P 8 S 8 Q 8 = 57

d) 36 R 4 S 8 Q 7 P 4 = 10

e) None of these

c) 8 R 8 P 8 S 8 Q 8 = 57

Explanation

P  +          R  ×

Q –          S  ÷

8 × 8 + 8 ÷ 8 – 8

= 64 + 1 – 8

= 64 – 7

= 57 Select the correct alternative in each of the following questions

9) Which one of the four interchanges in signs and numbers would make the given equation correct?

b) + as −, 2 as 5

c) + as −, 3 as 5

d) All of these

e) None of these

c) + as −, 3 as 5

Explanation

3 + 5 – 2 = 4Change “+” as – and “3” as “5”

5 – 3 + 2 = 4

2 + 2 = 4
