Question

In these questions, certain symbols have been used to indicate relationships between elements as follows
A $★$ B means A is either equal to or greater than B.
A $\$$ B means A is equal to B.
A pounds B means A is either equal to or smaller than B.
A & B means A is smaller than B.
A @ B means that A is greater than B.

In each question, three statements showing relationships have been given, which are followed by two conclusions I and II. Assuming that the given statements are true, find out which conclusion(s) is/are definitely true.
Statements:
S $★$ K, T & K, K $★$ B
Conclusions:
I. S $\$$ B
II. S @ 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 neither I nor II is true
• E. if both conclusions I and II are true

Answer 1

The correct option is C if either conclusion I or II is true

S $\ge$ K . . . (i); T < K . . . (ii);
K $\ge$ B . . . (iii)
Combining (i) and (iii), we get
S $\ge$ K $\ge$ B. Hence, S > B or S = B. Therefore either conclusion I or II is true.
