Practice mode Inequalities

In a certain code, ‘X % Y’ means X is greater than Y; ‘X # Y’ means X is equal to Y; ‘X @ Y’ means X is either greater than or equal to Y; ‘X $ Y’ means X is either smaller than or equal to Y; ‘X & Y’ means X is smaller than Y. Statements: Q @ N, N @ M, M & L, L # O, O & P. Conclusions: I. N @ Q II. L $ M. Which of the conclusions is definitely true?

Correct answer A. Neither conclusion I nor II is true

Explanation

Decoding gives Q ≥ N ≥ M < L = O < P. I: Q ≥ N gives only N ≤ Q, so I (N ≥ Q) does not follow. II: M M, so II (L ≤ M) does not follow.
