    If \[+,-,|,\phi ,\times \]and i stand respectively for greater than, not less than, less than, not greater than, equal to and not equal to, then x i y+ z may give       

    A) x+ y I z                        

    B)   \[x\times y\,\,|\,\,z\]

    C)   \[x,\,\,i\,\,y\,\,\phi \,\,z\]            

    D)   \[x-y\,\,\phi \,\,z\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    symbol and given interpretation
     \[+\,\,\to \]greater than\[(>)\]
    \[-\,\,\to \]not less than \[(\ge )\]
    |\[\,\to \] less than \[(<)\]
    \[\phi \to \]not greater than \[\,(\le )\]
    \[\times \to \]equal to (=) and
    i\[\to \]not equal (\[\ne \])
    Hence, statement \[x\,\,i\,\,y\,\,+\,\,z\Rightarrow x\ne y>z\] 
    Now, observing the options to check which of the given may be valid
    Option   \[x>y\ne z\] here,\[x>y\]which is possible because in the given statement (1)\[x\ne y\], although x can also be less than y and \[y\ne z\]is also followed in\[y\ne z\]
    Option   \[x=y<z\] \[x=y\] is not possible because in statement (1) it say \[x\ne y\].
    Option   \[x\ne y\le z\] \[x\ne y\] is followed as in statement (1) but \[y\le z\] is not valid because \[y>z\] given in statement (1).
    Option   \[x\ge y\le z\] \[x\ge y\] is not valid because statement (1) say \[x\ne y,\,\,y\le z\] not valid because statement (1) say \[y>z\]
    Hence, option [a] may be true and hence it is the answer.
