In a code, 'A @ B' means A is greater than B; 'A # B' means A is less than B; 'A % B' means A is equal to B; 'A & B' means A is greater than or equal to B; 'A * B' means A is less than or equal to B. Given A @ B, B * C, C @ D, consider the conclusions: I. A C. II. A D. Which conclusion(s) follow?

Question

In a code, 'A @ B' means A is greater than B; 'A # B' means A is less than B; 'A % B' means A is equal to B; 'A & B' means A is greater than or equal to B; 'A * B' means A is less than or equal to B. Given A @ B, B * C, C @ D, consider the conclusions: I. A > C. II. A > D. Which conclusion(s) follow?

Accepted Answer

Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Decoding gives A > B ≤ C and C > D. A > B ≤ C leaves A versus C undetermined, and there is no path linking A to D, so neither conclusion is definite.
