Directions (Qs. 16-20): In the follojwing questions, the symbols @, #, $,* and & are used as illustrated below:
‘P # Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’.
‘P $ Q’ means ‘ P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q’.
‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’.

Now, im 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
Statements: H @ N, N & W, W # V
Conclusions: I. H @ V
II. V @ N
Answer & ExplanationOption: [B]
H < N ........(i); N > W ........ (ii); W ≥ V .......... (iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we get
N > W ≥ V ........ (vi)
From (i) and (iv), no specific relation can be obtained between H and V. Hence, H < V (Conclusion I) is not necessarily true. But V < N (Conclusion II) follows from equation (iv).
