trustworthy is definite and hence it is not
a possibility. So, the conclusion is true.
Clearly, only III follows.
7. Ans. D.
Conclusions:
6
I. All honest being crime branch is not a
possibility à Honest which are dishonest
can never be crime branch as no
dishonest is crime branch. So, it is not
possible, hence true.
II. Some politicians being crime branch is
not a possibility à There is no direct
connection between politicians and crime
branch. So, some politicians can be crime
branch. So, the conclusion is not true.
III. Some honest not being crime branch

Clearly, I and III follow.
8. Ans. A.
Conclusions:
I. Some smart not being careless is a

between smart and careless. Some smart
may or may not be careless. So, the
possibility is true.
II. Some careless not being smart is a
possibility à All dumb is careless means
some careless is dumb and no dumb is
smart which means some careless is not
smart. It’s definite hence not possible.
III. All intelligent are not dumb is not a

and no smart is dumb means some
intelligent is not dumb. It’s definite hence
not possible. So, the conclusion is true.
Clearly, only I and III follow.
9. Ans. D.
Conclusions:
I. If all such baseless which are not
teacher can never be strict à All strict are
teachers. So, all such baseless which are

definitely true. P ©Q means P ≤ Q
II. All such teachers which are not P$Q means P ≥ Q
baseless may be rule à All rules are P#Q means P = Q
baseless. So, all such teachers which are Statement is :
not baseless can never be rule. So, the R<H≤T>K
conclusion is not true. Conclusions are:
III. All males being rules is a possibility à T≤R
All rules can never be male as some rules K<H
are teacher and no teacher is rule. But all Conclusion I does not holds true because
males can be rule. So, the possibility is T>R
true. There can be no relation between K and
Clearly, only I and III follow. H
10. Ans. A. Hence Option C is correct
13. Ans. A.
P@Q means P > Q
P%Q means P < Q
P ©Q means P ≤ Q
P$Q means P ≥ Q
Conclusions: P#Q means P = Q
I. Some rule breakers may not be captain Statement is:
à Some rule breakers are boys and no boy R≤D≥M=J
is captain which means some rule Conclusions are:
breakers are not captain. So, it’s definite J=D
hence not possible. Hence, the conclusion J<D
is not true. The case is the complementary one.
II. At least three boys are late comers is Hence Option A is correct
a possibility à Some late comers are not 14. Ans. C.
rule breakers but some rule breakers P@Q means P > Q
(boys) can be late comers. So, the P%Q means P < Q
conclusion is true. P ©Q means P ≤ Q
III. A lot of the girls are boys is a P$Q means P ≥ Q
possibility à There is no direct connection P#Q means P = Q
between girls and boys. So, the possibility Statements are:
is true. W=D≤B≥H
Clearly, only II and III follow. Conclusions are:
11. Ans. D. H=D
P@Q means P > Q B<W
P%Q means P < Q There can be no relation between H and
P ©Q means P ≤ Q D as both are related by opposite signs.
P$Q means P ≥ Q B < W also does not hold true because B
P#Q means P = Q ≥ W.
Statement is: Hence Option C is correct
H>K<M≤D 15. Ans. B.
Conclusions are : P@Q means P > Q
H>D P%Q means P < Q
K<D P ©Q means P ≤ Q
There can be no relation between H and P$Q means P ≥ Q
D. Thus Conclusion I is wrong. P#Q means P = Q
K < D is correct Statements are:
Hence Option D is correct F≥N>D<B
12. Ans. C. Conclusions are:
P@Q means P > Q F>D

B>N
Conclusion I is correct. Conclusion II can’t
be true because both are related by
opposite signs.
Hence Option B is correct
16. Ans. B.
A > B ≥ C ≤ D, C = E ≥ F
I. A > D, FALSE
II. F ≤ D - F ≤ C ≤ D, TRUE
Hence, Conclusion II is true.
17. Ans. E.
N ≥ T > P ≤ Q, T > R, P > S
I. T > S - T > P > S, TRUE
II. R < N – N ≥ T > R, TRUE
Hence, Both conclusion I and II are true
18. Ans. E.
M ≤ N < O ≥ P, O ≤ Q ≤ S
I. Q > M- M ≤ N < O ≤ Q, TRUE
II. P ≤ S - P ≤ O ≤ Q ≤ S, TRUE
Hence, both conclusion I & II is true.
19. Ans. C.
G ≥ H ≥ I = J ≥ K, A ≤ J
I. A < G, G ≥ J ≥ A, FALSE
II. A = G, G ≥ J ≥ A,FALSE
Hence, Either Conclusion I or II follows.
20. Ans. B.
N ≥ T > P ≤ Q, T > R, P > S
I. R P ≥ Q, FALSE
II. Q > S , Q ≥ P > S, TRUE
Hence, only Conclusion II is true.
