1. Statements :

D + T;   E $ V;   F * T;   E @ D

Conclusions :

I.  D $ V

II. D + F

(Ans : B) Explanatory Ans : -

D + T;   E $ V;   F * T;   E @ D

After conversion

D < T;   E ? V;   F ? T;   E > D     or,    V ? E > D < T ? F

Conclusions :

I.  D $ V   ?  D < V :  Not True D is smaller than V.

II. D + F   ?  D < F :  True

 

2. Statements :

B + D;   E $ T;   T * P;   P @ B

Conclusions :

I.  P $ D

II. P @ D

(Ans : C) Explanatory Ans : -

B + D;   E $ T;   T * P;   P @ B

After conversion

B < D;   E ? T;   T ? P;   P > B      or,    E ? T ? P > B < D

Conclusions :

I.   P $ D   ?  P ? D  :  Not True

II. P @ D   ?  P > D  :  Not True

While considering the relation between two entities three possibilities exists : greater than,  equal to or smaller than.  Therefore, either I or II is true.

After conversion

T ? U;   U ? W;   V > L;   W < V    or,   T ? U ? W < V > L

Conclusions :

I.  V @ T    ?   V > T  :  Not True

II. L # W   ?   L = W  :  Not True

 

4. Statements :

Conclusions :

I.  P + N

II. Q $ M

(Ans : A) Explanatory Ans : -

P $ Q;   N # M;   M @ R;  R * P

After conversion

P ? Q;   N = M;   M > R;  R ? P    or,    N = M > R ? P ? Q

Conclusions :

I.  P + N   ?   P < N  :  True

II. Q $ M   ?   Q < M :  Not True

After conversion

E ? F;   G ? H;   H = E;   G > K    or,   K < G ? H = E ? F

Conclusions :

I.  H @ K   ?   H > K :  True

II. H * F    ?   H ? F :  True
