Question

Directions: In the following questions, the symbols ^, &, @, ! and * are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
‘L ^ M’ means ‘L is neither greater than nor equal to M’.
‘L & M’ means ‘L is neither smaller than nor greater than M’.
‘L @ M’ means ‘L is not greater than M’.
‘L ! M’ means ‘L is greater than M’.
‘L * M’ means ‘L is either greater than or equal to M’.
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion/s given below them is/are definitely true.
Statements:
O * R ^ Q, O & S, J ! K * S
Conclusions:
I. R ^ K
II. J ! Q
III. Q * J
1) Only Conclusion I is true.
2) Both Conclusions I and II are true.
3) Either Conclusion II or III is true.
4) Both Conclusions II and III are true.
5) None follows

Answer 1

Answer:

After decoding the statement it is clear that first conclusion is correct R is less than K

Second conclusion is wrong because J and Q are not directly related as conclusion states J is greater than Q but from statement it is clear that J is greater than R but R is less than Q so J can't be greater than Q.

Third conclusion is also wrong because it is clear from statement that Q is greater than J but it is not mentioned in statement that Q can be equal to J by any chance so

Final answer is option 1 is correct only conclusion 1 is true
