Question

In the following question, the symbols $\delta$, $\star ,\%,@$ and $\#$ are used with the following meanings as illustrated.
${}^{\prime }A\%B^{\prime }$ means 'A is neither greater than nor equal to B'.
${}^{\prime }A\#B^{\prime }$means 'A is neither smaller than nor equal to B'.
${}^{\prime }A\delta B^{\prime }$ means 'A is neither smaller than nor greater than B'.
${}^{\prime }A\star B^{\prime }$ means 'A is not smaller than B'.
${}^{\prime }A@B^{\prime }$ means 'A is not greater than B'.
Now, in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find out which of the three conclusions I, II and III given is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.
% $\Rightarrow <$, @ $\Rightarrow$ $\le$ $\#\Rightarrow >$, $\delta$ $\Rightarrow$ =, $\star$ $\Rightarrow$ $\le$
Statements
$T\%M$
$M@K$
$K\star F$
Conclusions
I. $F\%M$
II. $F\%T$
III. $K\#T$

• A. Only III is true
• B. Only II is true
• C. Only I is true
• D. Only II and III are true
• E. All I, II and III are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only III is true

Given statements are
T % M $\Rightarrow$ T < M ...(i)
M @ K $\Rightarrow$ M $\le$ K ...(ii)
K $\star$ F $\Rightarrow$ K $\ge$ F ...(iii)
After combining these statements, we get T < M $\le$ K $\ge$ F
I. F % M $\Rightarrow$ F < M (False)
As, no relation can be established between F and M.
II. F % T $\Rightarrow$ F < T (False)
No relation can be established.
III. K $\#$ T $\Rightarrow$ K > T (True)
As, T < M $\le$ K
So, K > T is true.
