    'A*B' means 'A is neither greater than nor equal to B'.
    'A@B' means 'A is not smaller than B'.

    Statements: P $ Q, R @ S, P * R
    Conclusions: I. Q * R   II. P # S
  2. A.

    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    P > Q -- (i); R ≥ S -- (ii); P < R -- (iii)

    From (i) and (iii), we get R > P > Q => R > Q or Q < R. Hence I is true.
