1. Statements: – A%B, B$C, C#D, D&E
   Conclusions: – 1) A&E 2) B#D
   1) If only conclusion 1 is true
   2) If only conclusion 2 is true
   3)  If either conclusion 1 or 2 is true
   4) If neither conclusion 1 nor 2 is true
   5) If both conclusions 1 and 2 are true
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – 4) If neither conclusion 1 nor 2 is true
   Explanation :
   A<B<=C=D>E (We can’t say anything about A and E and D>= B)

   4) If neither conclusion 1 nor 2 is true
   5) If both conclusions 1 and 2 are true
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – 2) If only conclusion 2 is true
   Explanation :
   A>=B <=C = D>E ( A >=C we can’t say but C is always greater than E)

   5) If both conclusions 1 and 2 are true
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – 1) If only conclusion 1 is true
   Explanation :
   D>=A>B<=C>P (first conclusion directly follows and second doesn’t follow)
   
   
   
4. Statements: – A$B, C&D, D#B, A$E
   Conclusions: – 1) D@A 2) C&B
   1) If only conclusion 1 is true
   2) If only conclusion 2 is true
   3)  If either conclusion 1 or 2 is true
   4) If neither conclusion 1 nor 2 is true
   5) If both conclusions 1 and 2 are true
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – 5) If both conclusions 1 and 2 are true
   Explanation :
   E>=A<=B=D<C  (both conclusions directly follows)
   
   
   
5. Statements: – B&A, C#B, D#C, D&E
   Conclusions: – 1) A&C 2) B&E
   1) If only conclusion 1 is true
   2) If only conclusion 2 is true
   3)  If either conclusion 1 or 2 is true
   4) If neither conclusion 1 nor 2 is true
   5) If both conclusions 1 and 2 are true
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – 2) If only conclusion 2 is true
   Explanation :
   A<B=C=D>E  (second directly follows)
   
   
   
6. What should come in place of question mark to make R> T always true?
   P = R > Q ? T <S
   a) >
   b) <
   c) >=
   d) =
   e) both a and c
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – e) both a and c
   Explanation :
   P = R >Q >T <S and P = R>Q>=T<S in both cases R will be greater than T
   
   
   
7. Which of the following should be placed in the blank spaces in order to complete the given expression such that A < P is always false.
   _ <= _ < _ >_
   a) PNCA
   b) ALPC
   c) PNAL
   d) PLAC
   e) None of these
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – c) PNAL
   Explanation :
   P<=N<A<L (here A is always greater than P)
   
   
   
8. Which of the following expression is definitely true if the expression A>B=C>D<E is always true?
   a) B>E
   b) D<A
   c) E>C
   d) D =B
   e) None of these
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – b) D<A
   Explanation :
   Directly follows from the given expression
   
   
   
9. Which of the following symbol replace the question mark (?) in the given expression in order to make the expression A>C and E<B definitely true?
   A > B ? C >=D = E
   a) <=
   b) >
   c) <
   d) >=
   e) either a or b
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – b) >
   Explanation :
   A > B > C >=D = E (A>C and E<B always true)
   
   
   
10. What should come in place of blank spaces to make A>C and C<D always true in the expression A_B_C_D.
    a) >=, >, =
    b) >=, <, =
    c) >=,>, <
    d) =, >=, =
    e) None of these
    
    Answer & Explanation

    Answer – c) >=,>, <
    Explanation :
    A >=B>C<D (A>C in all cases and similarly D>C in all cases)
