Symbol Based Reasoning
Introduction
Symbol Based Reasoning questions consists of symbols which, mostly,
depict some mathematical relation between two variables. Based on the
relation, one has to compute the relationship between the different
variables or perform some arithmetic operations.
Example:
If, A + B is the difference between A and B
A – B is the product of A and B
A x B is the division of A and B
A / B is the addition of A and B
Then, what will be the value of 2 / 8 x 2 + 1 – 3 ?
a) 10
b) 3
c) 7
d) 5
e) None of the above
Solution:
The following expression can be represented as
2+8/2–1x3
By BODMAS rule, the given expression will be 2 + (8 / 2) – (1 x 3)
Thus, 3 will be the correct answer.
Hence, [B].

Symbol Based Reasoning
Example:
If, A @ B means A is greater than B
A * B means A is neither greater than nor smaller than B
A # B means A is smaller than B
A & B means A is not less than B
A % B means A is not greater than B
Statements: P % Q & R * S
Conclusions:
I:P≥S
II : P < S
a) If only conclusion I is true.
b) If only conclusion II is true.
c) If either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
d) If both the conclusions are true.
e) If neither conclusion is true.
Solution: C
The given expression can be simplified as P ≤ Q ≥ R = S
From here, we cannot explicitly say anything about the relationship
between P and S. However, either P ≥ S or P < S.
Hence, [C].

be true, find which of the two conclusions is/are definitely true.
Mark [a], if only conclusion I is true.
Mark [b], if only conclusion II is true.
Mark [c], if either conclusion I or II is true.
Mark [d], if neither conclusion I nor II is true.
Mark [e], if both conclusions I and II are true.

P < N...(iii)
The statements can be combined to be written as, T ≥ M > P < N
The conclusions given are: 1) T ≥ N
2) N > T
Thus, Either Conclusion I or Conclusion II follows.
Hence, [C].

Q.5) Refer to the data below and answer the questions that follow.
If x @ y stands for product of the 2 numbers
x $ y stands for the difference between the 2 numbers
x * y stands for the sum of the 2 numbers
x + y stands for the sum of the cubes of the 2 numbers
x / y stands for product of the 2 numbers
Answer: C
Each of the given terms can be individually as follows,
(3 $ 1) = 3 – 1 = 2
(4 * 0) = 4 + 0 = 4
Thus, [(3 $ 1) + (4 * 0)] = (2 + 4) ? 23 + 43 = 72
(3 + 1) = 33 +13 = 28
(4 @ 0) = 4 * 0 = 0
Thus, [(3+1) $ (4 @ 0)] = (28 $ 0) ? 28 - 0 = 28
Hence, [(3 $ 1) + (4 * 0)] $ [(3+1) $ (4 @ 0)] = 72 $ 28 = 44
Hence, [C].

Symbol Based Reasoning
Answer: A
Conclusion I: Combining first 2 statements we get,
A<B≤C≤D=E
Between B and E, the symbols are ‘=’ and ‘≤’.
So, B ≤ E definitely follows.
Conclusion II: Combining last 2 statements we get,
C≤D=E>F=G
Between C and G the direction of the symbols changes. So, no conclusion
can be drawn between C and G.
Therefore, conclusion II does not follow.
Hence, [A].

Q.7) Replace the question marks (?) in that order in the following
expression in order to make the expression ‘T < P’ definitely false?
Expression: P ? Q ? R ? S ? T ? U

b) ≥, >, =, <, =
c) <, ≤, =, >, <
d) <, ≤, ≤, <, =
e) =, >, =, >, =
Answer: D
T < P will be definitely false if either P = T or P < T.
Option a: Direction of all the symbols is the same.
⇒ P > T – Incorrect option.
Option b: Direction of all the symbols is not the same. P and T cannot be
compared – Incorrect option.
Option c: Direction of all the symbols is not the same. P and T cannot be
compared – Incorrect option.
Option d: Direction of all the symbols is the same.
⇒ P < T – Correct option.
Option e: Direction of all the symbols is the same.
⇒ P > T – Incorrect option.

Answer: C
Combining all the statements we get,
P>Q=R=S≥T≥U≥V
Between Q and V, the direction of the symbols is the same and no ‘ So, Q
≥ V.
Either conclusion I follows or conclusion II follows.
Hence, [C]

Symbol Based Reasoning
Answer: E
B < X will be definitely false if either B = X or B >X.
From option a, we get B < C > X. This option is incorrect.
From option b, B < C = X. Therefore, B < X. This option is false.
From option c, we get B ≤ C = X⇒ B ≤ X. We cannot conclude anything.
From option d, we get B ≤ C ≤ X ⇒ B ≤ X. We cannot conclude anything.
From option e, B = C > X. Therefore, B > X.
Hence, [E].

A # B means A - B;
A & B means A x B;
A % B means A ÷ B;

Symbol Based Reasoning
Answer - A
a) - (12 ! 18) $ 4 = (Average of 12 and 18) $ 4 = 15 $ 4 = LCM of 15 and 4 =
60
b) - (12 $ 18) ! 4 = (LCM of 12 and 18) ! 4 =36 ! 4 = Average of 36 and 4 =
20
c) - 12 ! (18 $ 4) = 12 ! (LCM of 18 and 4) = 12 ! 36 = Average of 12 and 36
= 24
d) - (12 ! 18) ! 4 = (Average of 12 and 18) ! 4 = 15 ! 4 = Average of 15 and
4 = 9.5
e) - (12 $ 18) % 4 = (LCM of 12 and 18 ) % 4 = 36 % 4 = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Hence, [A].
Answer: B
i) [(17 ! 7) & 3 % 9] $ [4 & 4 # 1] # 9
= [12 & 3 % 9] $ [ 16 # 1 ] # 9
= [36 % 9] $ [ 15 ] # 9
= 4 $ 15 # 9
= 60 # 9 = 51, it is not a prime number.
(ii) [(21 ! 9) % 5] $ [ 3 & 3 # 2] @ 8
= [15 % 5 ] $ [9 # 2] @ 8
=3$7@8
= 21 @ 8 = 29. It is a prime number
Hence, [B].

Q.1) Answer: B
With the given statements, we can build the following relation:
B<C=A
Only statement II follows this relation.
Hence, [B].
Q.2) Answer: E
With the given statements, we can build the following relation:
L = M < N and O < N.
But no fixed relation can be established between either M and O or L and
O.
Hence, [E].
Q.3) Answer: A
With the given statements, we can build the following relation:
F<G≤E<D
Only statement I follows this relation.
Hence, [A].

Q.4) Answer: E
With the given statements, we can build the following relation:
K≤L>M=N
From i) L ≥ N, we cannot deduce it as L cannot be equal to N.
Nothing can be established about M and K.
Hence, [E].
Q.5) Answer: E
With the given statements, we can build the following relation:
X ≤ V; U = W; V ≥ W
No fixed relation can be built between either V and U or X and W.
Hence, [E].
Q.6) Answer: C
With the given statements, we can build the following relation:
P < R; Q = R; Q > O
Both the conclusions follow.
Hence, [C].
Q.7) Answer: C
P = Q, Q ≤ R, R > S
I. P > S. This may or may not be true
II. P ≤ S. This may or may not be true.
However, either of the 2 conclusions has to be true.
Hence, [C]

Symbol Based Reasoning
Q.8) Answer: E
Given Y > X, Y ≥ Z and W > Z
I. Because Y ≥ Z and W > Z, we cannot determine if W > Y.
II. As we cannot determine the relation between W and Y, the same way
we cannot determine the relation between W and X. Therefore, neither
conclusion is true.
Hence, [E].
Q.9) Answer: E
J ≥ K, L ≥ K, L ≥ M
J, L ≥ K. Also L ≥ M
But from this, we cannot determine the relation between J and M. So
conclusion I may or may not be true. Also, relation between J and L
cannot be determined.
Hence, [E].
Q.10) Answer: D
C > D, D < E, D > F
C, E > D > F
From above F < E, so conclusion I is true.
Also F < C, so conclusion II is also true. Therefore, both conclusions are
true.
Hence, [D].

Q.11) Answer: D
Following the given statements
U ≥ S, T > V, U < V
∴T>V>U≥S
Conclusion I is true as T > S
Conclusion II is true as V > S
Hence, [D].
Q.12) Answer: D
The statements given are A > B, B < C, B ≥ D.
Thus, A is greater than D. Hence, I is not true.
Nothing can be said about the relationship between C and A. Hence, II is
also not true.
Hence, [D].
Q.13) Answer: A
The statements given are A = B, B > C and D < C.
Thus, A > C. However, B > D. Thus, only conclusion I follows.
Hence, [A].
Q.14) Answer: C
The given statements are A ≥ B, C ≤ B and C = D
Thus, we have A ≥ C = D
Thus, A is either greater than or equal to C or D.
Hence, either I or II follows.
Hence, [C].

Q.15) Answer: E
The given statements are A < B, C > B and C < D.
Thus, D > B and A < C.
Hence, both the conclusions are true.
Hence, [E].
Q.16) Answer: B
The given statements are A ≤ B, B = C and C ≥ D. C ≥ A and B ≥ D. Thus,
only conclusion II follows.
Hence, [B].
Q.17) Answer: B
The sum of the first and last digit is even, product of second and fifth is
odd, sum of third and fourth is even. Thus, + x <>÷ − will be the
correct code.
Hence, [B].
Q.18) Answer: C
The sum of the first and last digit is odd, product of second and fifth is
odd, sum of third and fourth is odd. Thus, − x ><÷ + will be the correct
code.
Hence, [C].

Q.19) Answer: B
The sum of the first and last digit is odd, product of second and fifth is
even, sum of third and fourth is even. Thus, − ÷<> x + will be the
correct code.
Hence, [B].
Q.20) Answer: C
The sum of the first and last digit is even, product of second and fifth is
odd, sum of third and fourth is odd. Thus, + x ><÷ − will be the correct
code.
Hence, [C].
