Consider the following:

I. A + B means A is neither smaller nor equal to B.
II. A - B means A is not greate

Question

Consider the following:

I. A + B means A is neither smaller nor equal to B. 
II. A - B means A is not greater than B. 
III. A× B means A is not smaller than B. 
IV. A÷ B means A is neither greater nor equal to B. 
V. A± B means A is neither smaller nor greater than B.

Statement: P× Q , P - T , T÷ R , R± S 
Conclusion- 1: Q± T 
Conclusion- 2: S + Q

Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above Statement and the Conclusions?

Accepted Answer

The symbols translate as follows: I. A + B => A > B II. A - B => A <= B III. A x B => A >= B IV. A / B => A < B V. A +/- B => A = B Given Statement: P x Q => P >= Q P - T => P <= T T / R => T < R R +/- S => R = S Combining these inequalities: From P >= Q and P <= T, we get Q <= P <= T. From T < R and R = S, we get T < R = S. So, the complete statement is Q <= P <= T < R = S. Now, let's check the conclusions: Conclusion 1: Q +/- T This means Q = T. From our combined statement, we know Q <= T. This means Q could be less than T or equal to T. We cannot definitively conclude that Q = T. So, Conclusion 1 does not follow. Conclusion 2: S + Q This means S > Q. From our combined statement, we have Q <= T and T < S. If Q is less than or equal to T, and T is strictly less than S, then it must be that Q is strictly less than S (Q < S). If Q < S, then S > Q. So, Conclusion 2 follows. Since only Conclusion 2 follows, option B is the correct answer.

Answer

Only Conclusion-1 follows from the Statement.

Answer

Only Conclusion-2 follows from the Statement.

Answer

Both Conclusion-1 and Conclusion-2 follow from the Statement.

Answer

Neither Conclusion-1 nor Conclusion-2 follows from the Statement.
