PREVIOUS YEAR REASONING QUESTIONS | 23.06.2017

It’s always been good to learn from history since history repeats itself, similarly, it goes with the exam pattern we always try to find previous year questions to mentally prepare ourselves for upcoming hurdles in the exam and to check whether the level of our preparation is or is not up to the mark. Previous year questions give guidance to us and provide a base for the preparation of any competitive exam. It is always good to have an experience of how the level of exam varies from year to year. For every subject like in Reasoning Ability, we come to know the pattern of questions must be followed to prepare the examination.

Directions (1-5): In these questions, certain symbols have been used to indicate relationships between elements as follows:

'P © Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor equal to Q.

'P $ Q' means 'P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q.

'P @ Q' means 'P is not smaller than Q.

'P % Q means P is not greater than Q.

'P ★ Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q.

In each question, four statements showing relationships have been given, which are followed by three conclusions I, II and III. Assuming that the given statements are true, find out which conclusion(s) is /are definitely true?
