In a certain code, 'X @ Y' means X is greater than Y, 'X # Y' means X is less than Y, and 'X = Y' means X is equal to Y. Given that 'A @ B', 'B = C' and 'C @ D' are all true, which of the following is definitely TRUE?

  • AC @ A
  • BA @ D
  • CD @ B
  • DB # C

Step-by-Step Solution

The statements give A > B, B = C and C > D, so A > B = C > D. Hence A > D, which is written 'A @ D'.
Answer: B) A @ D
