Directions: In the following questions, the symbols $,@,%, © and # are used with the following meanings as illustrated below:
'P©Q' means 'P' is greater than 'Q'.
'P%Q' means 'P' is smaller than 'Q'.
'P@Q' means 'P' is either greater than or equal 'Q'.
'P$Q' means 'P' is either smaller than or equal to 'Q'.
'P#Q' means 'P' is equal to 'Q'.
A) If only conclusion I is true.
B) If only conclusion II is true.
C) If either conclusion I or II is true.
D) If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
E) If both conclusions I and II are true

6) Statements: M @ R, R ©F, F#L
Conclusions: I. R@L II.M@L

7) Statements: T % J, J @ V, V # W
Conclusions: I. T©W II. W@T

8) Statements: J @ D, D$ L, L#N
Conclusions: I. J # L II. J $ L

9) Statements: R $ M, M%H,H$F
Conclusions: I. R % F II. M$F

10) Statements: K $ H, H % I, I © F
Conclusions: I. K $ I II.H % F

Answers:
1) C
2) D
3) A
4) B
5) E
6) D
7) C
8) D
9) A
10) D

Explanation:(1-5)

(6-7)
6) (D) M ≥ R>F=L. So, R>L. Hence, conclusion I is not true. Even, the Conclusion II is not true.
7) (C) T < J ≥ V= W Either I or II follows.
8) (D) J ≥ D ≤ L = N Both the conclusions are not true
9) (A) R ≤ M < H ≤ F. Hence, R< F. Conclusion I is true. As M< F conclusion II is not true.
10) (D) K ≤ H < I > F. As K< I, conclusion I is not true. H and F can't be compared. Hence, conclusion II is not true
