    Direction: In the following question the symbol $, #, @ and * are used with the following meanings as illustrated below:
    'X$Y' means X is neither greater than nor equal to Y.
    'X#Y' means X is neither smaller than nor equal to Y.
    'X@Y' means X is neither smaller than nor greater than Y.
    'X%Y' means X is not smaller than Y.
    'X*Y' means X is not greater than Y.
    Now, in each of the following questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is/are definitely true and given your answer.
    Statements:     A%B,B*C,D$C Conclusions:   I. A#C        II. A* C

    A)  Neither conclusion is true

    B)  Only conclusion I is true

    C)  Only conclusion II is true

    D)  Either conclusion I or II is true

    E)  Both conclusion I and II are true

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Given, \[A\,\,%B\Rightarrow A\ge B......(1)\]. \[B*C\Rightarrow B\le C.....(ii)\] \[D\$C\RightarrowD<C.....(iii)\] Combining (i). (ii) and (iii), we get \[A\ge B\le C>D\] We can't compare A and C. So, A # C => A > C is not true. Again, A * C => A < C is not true. But both make a complementary pair. Hence cither conclusion I or II is true.
