1. What is the code for ‘come’?
   A) 0
   B) 8
   C) 1
   D) 3
   E) either 1 or 8
   
   Answer

   B) 8

Directions (Q. 6-10): In the following questions, the symbols @, #, %, $ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below.
‘P # Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’.
‘P © Q’ means ‘P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q’.
‘P % Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q’
‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’.
‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q’.

Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.

6. Statements: R @ D, D © W, B $ W
   Conclusions:
   I. W # R
   II. B © D
   III. W $ R
   A) None is true
   B) Only I is true
   C) Only III is true
   D) Only either I or III is true
   E) All are true
   
   Answer

   D) Only either I or III is true
   
   Explanation:
   R ≤ D > W ≤ B
   R and W both are less than D, so either W is less than D or it is greater than D
7. Statements: H $ V, V % M, K © M
   Conclusions:
   I. K © V
   II. M @ H
   III. H © K
   A) Only I and III are true
   B) Only II and III are true
   C) Only I and II are true
   D) All are true
   E) None of these
   
   Answer

   C) Only I and II are true
   
   Explanation:
   H ≥ V = M < K gives
   K > V
   M ≤ H
   H and K both less than V, so it gives no definite relationship between H and K
8. Statements : K # T, T $ B, B @ F
   Conclusions:
   I. F $ T
   II. K # B
   III. T $ F
   A) None is true
   B) Only I is true
   C) Only I and II are true
   D) Only II and III are true
   E) All are true
   
   Answer

   A) None is true
   
   Explanation:
   K < T ≥ B ≤ F gives no relationship between any of K T B F
9. Statements : Z # F, R @ F, D © R
   Conclusions:
   I. Z # R
   II. F # D
   III. D © Z
   A) None is true
   B) Only I is true
   C) Only III is true
   D) Only either I or III is true
   E) All are true
   
   Answer

   A) None is true
   
   Explanation:
   Z < F ≥ R < D
10. Statements : M © R, R % D, D @ N
    Conclusions:
    I. M © N
    II. N $ R
    III. M © D
    A) Only I and II is true
    B) Only II and III is true
    C) Only I and III is true
    D) All are true
    E) None of these
    
    Answer

    B) Only II and III is true
    
    Explanation:
    M > R = D ≤ N gives
    No relationship between M and N
    N ≥ R
    M > D
