Mains
Directions: In the following question, some (1) Only conclusion I follows
words are given in the coding form in a certain (2) Only conclusion II follows
pattern. For each word there is a specific code (3) Either conclusion I or II follows
defined. Based on these codings, three (4) Both conclusion I and II follows
statements are given, followed by two (5) Neither conclusion I nor II follows
conclusions. Assuming the statements to be true,
even if they seem to be at variance with 23. M % N means No M is N
commonly known facts, decide which of the M @ N means All M are N
conclusions logically follows from the
M & N means Some M are N
statements.
M © N means Some M are not N
21. ‘Some violin are not piano’ is coded as ‘$ ? ! % M $ N means Only a few M are N
&’ M # N means Some M are N is a possibility
‘Piano are being some instrument’ is coded as ‘* M ^ N means Some M are not N is a possibility
! $ ? =’ Statement:
‘Violin is for some music’ is coded as ‘@ 𝛾 & ɑ 15% dogs © puppies
$’ Puppies @ domestic
‘Music is not instrument’ is coded as ‘% @ 𝛾 =’
Domestic % wild
‘Piano is being possibility’ is coded as ‘μ @ * ?’
Statement: Conclusion:
! & $ =, ! = $ % ?, ! ? $ 𝛾 30% dogs & wild
Conclusion: 20% domestic & dogs
I. ! ? % * = @ μ (1) Only conclusion I follows
II. ! 𝛾 $ & (2) Only conclusion II follows
(1) Only conclusion I follows (3) Either conclusion I or II follows
(2) Only conclusion II follows
(4) Both conclusion I and II follows
(3) Either conclusion I or II follows
(4) Both conclusion I and II follows (5) Neither conclusion I nor II follows
(5) Neither conclusion I nor II follows
24. M % N means No M is N
Directions: In the following question, three M @ N means All M are N
statements are given. You have to consider the M & N means Some M are N
given statements to be true, even if they seem to M © N means Some M are not N
be at variance with commonly known facts.
M $ N means Only a few M are N
Read all the conclusions and decide which of the
following logically follows from the given M # N means Some M are N is a possibility
statements disregarding the commonly known M ^ N means Some M are not N is a possibility
facts. Statement:
Wise % sage
22. A % B means A > B as well as No A is B Sage % prudent
A @ B means A ≥ B as well as All A are B Prudent @ sapient
A & B means A < B as well as Some A are B
Conclusion:
A © B means A ≤ B as well as Some A are not
B 50% Wise & Prudent
A $ B means A = B as well as Some B are not A 29% Sage & Sapient
Statement: (1) Only conclusion I follows
Board % plugs (2) Only conclusion II follows
Socket & switches (3) Either conclusion I or II follows
Board @ switches (4) Both conclusion I and II follows
Conclusion:
(5) Neither conclusion I nor II follows
I. Board & socket
II. Socket & plug
