Direction Q (1-5) In these questions relationships
between different elements is shown in the statements.
These statements are followed by two conclusions.
Give Answer
1) If only conclusion I follows
2) If only conclusion II follows
3) If either conclusion I or conclusion II follows
4) If neither conclusion I or conclusion II follows
5) If both conclusion I and II follow
1. Statements N ≥ O ≥ P = Q > R
Conclusions
I. N > R
II. R = N
Solution: Correct Option (1)
All symbols are of same type between N and R. So, first
priority is given to >, hence, N>R is definitely true.
2. Statements W ≤ X < Y = Z > A; W < B
Conclusion
I. B > Z
II. W < A
Solution: Correct Option (4)
There cant be definite relationship between W and A as
they have mixed types of symbols between them (i.e. <,
>). So, II is not true. We know W < Z from given statements
also W < B. But we cant establish the relationship between
B and Z.
3. Statements: H > I > J > K ; L > M < K
Conclusions
I. I > M
II. L < H
Solution: Correct Option (1)
By combining both statements we get:
H>I>J>K>M<L
One type of symbols between I and M, so I>M definitely
follows.
Two different types of symbols between L and H, so no
specific relationship can be established.
4. Statements: C < D < E ; D > F ≥ G
Conclusions
I. C ≥ G
II. F > E

Solution: Correct Option (4)
We can two merged statements. C < D > F ≥ G and also C
<D<E
No definite relation can be framed between C and G.
For Conclusion II, we can merge given statements like this:
E > D > F. So, F > E is definitely false.
5. Statements: R > S ≥ T ≥ U; V < T
Conclusions:
I. V ≥ U
II. V < R
Solution:
For the first conclusion, we are concerned about V and U.
Hence we can merge the statements keeping them in
mind. V < T ≥ U. No definite relation.
Now, for 2nd conclusion, V and R we can have R > S ≥ T > V
So, V < R is definitely true.
Directions (6-10): In the following questions the symbols
#, *, @. $ and = are used with the following meanings:
A # B means A is greater than B.
A * B means A is greater than or equal to B.
A @ B means A is equal to B.
A $ B means A is lesser than B.
A = B means A is lesser than or equal to B. Now in each of
the following questions,
assuming the three statements to be true, find
which of the two conclusions I and II given below them
is/are true. Give answer:
1) if only conclusion I is true
2) if only conclusion II is true
3) if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true
4) if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true
5) if both conclusions I and II are true.
6. Statements: P # Q, R $ P, R * O
Conclusions: I. Q # R II. Q $ R
Solution: Correction Option (4)
P > Q, R < P, R ≥ O
Combining this, O ≤ R < P > Q
Conclusion I: Q > R (False)
Conclusion II: Q < R (False)

7. Statements: P = Q, T @ R, R # P T x K → T is the daughter of K
Conclusions: I. T = Q II. Q *T Hence, → Q is the husband of K.
Solution: Correct Option (3) Therefore, P is the mother-in-law of K.
P ≤ Q, T = R, R > P 13. A is the son of C; C and Q are sisters; Z is the mother
Combining this, T = R > P ≤ Q of Q and P is the son of Z. Which of the following
Conclusion I: T ≤ Q (False) statements is true?
Conclusion II: Q ≥ T (False) a. P and A are cousins b. P is the maternal uncle of A
These conclusions taken individually are false. But when c. Q is the maternal grandfather of A
we take both of them together, Either I or II can follow. d. C and P are sisters
This means, either T is less than or equal or greater than Solution: C and Q are sisters and A is the son of C. Hence,
or equal to Q C is the mother of A or Z is the mother Q.
Hence, Z is the maternal grandmother of A. P is the son of
8. Statements: P @ Q, L @ M, P # L Z. Hence, P is the maternal uncle of A.
Conclusions: I. Q # M II. M $ P
Solution: Correct Answer (5) 14. M is the father of N who is the son of V. In order to
P = Q, L = M, P > L know the relation of M to P, which of the
Combining these, Q = P > L = M statement/statements is/are necessary?
Conclusion I: Q > M (True) I. P is the brother of V.
Conclusion II: M < P (True) II. The daughter of N is the granddaughter of V.
a. Only I b. Only II
9. Statements: P # M # L, L# N @ Q, Q $ S @ R c. Either I or II d. I and II both
Conclusions: I. R @ M II. L @ R Solution: M is the father of N and N is the son of V.
Solution: Hence, V is the mother of N.
P> M > L; L > N = Q From I, P is the brother of V
Combining these, P> M > L > N = Q Therefore, M is the brother-in-law of P because V is the
wife of M.
11. A's son B is married with C whose sister D is married From II, the daughter of N, is the granddaughter of V.
to E the brother of B. How D is related to A? From this we do not get any relation of M to P.
a. son-in-law b. daughter-in-law
c. mother's-in-law d. none of these 15. If X + Y means X is the daughter of Y; X - Y means X is
the brother of Y; X % Y means X is the father of Y and X x
Solution: Since E is the brother of B Y means X is the sister of Y. Which of the following means
Therefore, A is the father of E but D is the wife of E. I is the niece of J?
Hence, D is the daughter-in-law of A. a. J - N % C x I b. I x C - N % J
c. J + M x C % I d. I x C + N – J
12. If M x N means M is the daughter of N; M + N means Solution:
M is the father of N; M % N means M is the mother of N I x C → I is the sister of C
and M - N means M is the brother of N then P % Q + R - T C + N → C is the daughter of N
x K indicates which relation of P to K? and N - J → N is the brother of I.
a. Daughter-in-law b. Sister-in-law Hence, I is niece of J.
c. Aunt d. None of these
Solution: P % Q → P is the mother of Q If you are loving it, request you to give amazing ratings
Q + R → Q is the father of R and write sweet reviews!
R - T → R is the brother of T
Hence, → Q is the father of T
