In the following question the symbols ? , $\delta$, $\bigstar$ and % are used with the following meaning as illustrated below.
P $\delta$ Q means ?P is not greater than Q?
P % Q means ?P is not smaller than Q
P  Q means P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q
P $ Q means P is greater than Q
P $\bigstar$ Q means P is smaller than Q
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true find which of the two Conclusions I and II given below them is/are definitely true ?
Give answer
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 Conclusion I and II are true
Statement R$J, J%M, M ? K
Conclusions I.K ? J II.K $\bigstar$J
  • AIf only Conclusion I is true
  • BIf only Conclusion II is true
  • CIf either Conclusion I or II is true
  • DIf neither Conclusion I nor II is true

Solution
The statements are :
R > J , J $\geq$ M , M = K
After combining the above inequalities, we get :
R > J $\geq$ M = K
Conclusions :
K = J and K < J
Since, K $\leq$ J
Thus, either conclusion I or II is true.
