Question

Statements: Y © S, S $\delta$ R, R * Q
Conclusions:
I. Q @ S
II. Y * R

• A. Only conclusion I is true.
• B. Only conclusion II is true.
• C. Either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
• D. Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
• E. Both conclusion I and conclusion II are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.

From the given statements
Y © S means ‘Y is either smaller or equal to S’.
So Y £ S. (a)
S $\delta$ R means ‘S is not smaller than R’. So S $\ge$ R. (b)
R*F means ‘R is smaller than F’. So R < F (c)
Combining all the equations, you get Y £ S $\ge$ R < F (d)
Now, for the given conclusions
Q @ S means ‘Q is neither smaller nor equal to S’. So Q > S. (i)
Y*R means ‘Y is smaller than R’. So Y < R. (ii)

So, neither of the conclusions (i) nor (ii) follow.
