In the below question given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

  1. If only conclusion I follows
  2. If only conclusion II follows
  3. If either I or II follows
  4. If neither I nor II follows and
  5. If both I and II follow.

In the question symbols *, @, %, $ and # are used with the following meaning :
‘P $ Q’ means ‘P is not greater 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’
‘P % Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’.
‘P @ Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q’.
Now assuming the statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II is/are definitely true.

Statements:
W @ M, J # M, M * Y
Conclusions:
Y * W
Y @ J

A. Only conclusion I is true

B. Only conclusion II is true

C. Either conclusion I or II is true

D. Neither conclusion I nor II is true

E. Both conclusion I and II are true

Answer : B. only conclusion II is true
