In a certain code: 'P $ Q' means P is greater than Q; 'P * Q' means P is smaller than Q; 'P # Q' means P is greater than or equal to Q; 'P @ Q' means P is smaller than or equal to Q; 'P & Q' means P is equal to Q. Statements: M # N, N & O, O $ P. Conclusions: I. M $ P.
II. M & O. Which of the conclusions follow?

Competition practiceInequalities
  • AOnly conclusion I follows
  • BNeither conclusion I nor II follows
  • CBoth conclusions follow
  • DOnly conclusion II follows

Step-by-Step Solution

Decoded: M >= N, N = O, O > P, so M >= O > P giving M > P (I). Since M >= O allows M greater than O, M = O is not certain, so II does not follow.
Answer: A) Only conclusion I follows
