Practice mode Inequalities

In a certain code, ‘X # Y’ means X is either smaller than or equal to Y; ‘X $ Y’ means X is either greater than or equal to Y; ‘X & Y’ means X is equal to Y; ‘X % Y’ means X is smaller than Y; ‘X @ Y’ means X is greater than Y. Statements: G # V, V % W, W @ Y, Y & Z. Conclusions: I. W @ Z II. Y @ G. Which of the conclusions is definitely true?

Correct answer B. Only conclusion I is true

Explanation

Decoding gives G ≤ V Y = Z. I: W > Y = Z gives W > Z, so I is true. II: in G ≤ V Y the signs change direction, so Y and G are not related and II fails.
