  1. In the following given below, certain symbols are used with the following meanings:
    'P$Q' means 'P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q'.
    'P©Q' means 'P is not smaller than Q'.
    'P*Q' means 'P is neither greater nor smaller than Q'.
    'P#Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor equal to Q'.
    'P@Q' means 'P is not greater than Q'.

    Statements: R © P, P $ M, M @ D
    Conclusions: I. D $ R   II. M # R

  2. 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 the conclusions I and II are true.

    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    R ≥ P -- (i); P > M -- (ii); M ≤ D -- (iii)

    Combining (i) and (ii), we get R > M. Hence, conclusion II (M < R) is true. But we can't be get any specific relation between D and R. Therefore conclusion I is not true.
