    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:     E%F,G*H,G@E Conclusions:    I.F@H        II.H%F

    A)  Neither of the conclusions is true

    B)  Only conclusion II is true

    C)  Either conclusion I or II is true

    D)  Both conclusion I and II are true

    E)  Only conclusion I is true

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Give", \[E%F\Rightarrow E\ge F\]   ... (i) \[G*H\Rightarrow G\le H\]   ... (ii) \[GE\Rightarrow G=E\]   ... (iii) Combining (i), (ii) and (iii), we get \[H\ge G=E\ge F\] Thus, F @ H \[\Rightarrow \]F < H is not true. . Again, H % F \[\Rightarrow \] H \[\ge \] F is true. Hence only conclusion II is true.
