What they failed to predict, or fought shy of, was a rough patch of unimaginative advertising. The year proved them right, though it brought in its wake some odd wave of cheer in the form of international honour for some agencies, new accounts worth crores for others. surprise account losses for some bigwigs, international tie-ups and so on. But by and large the mood was low-key.

Direction (Q. 6 - 10) : In the following questions the symbols #, ⋆, @, $ and = are used with the following meanings:
A # B means A is greater than B.
A ⋆B means A is greater than or equal to B.
A @ B means A is equal to B.
A $ B means A is lesser than B.,
A = B means A is lesser than or equal to B.
Now in each of the following questions, assuming the three Statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions 1 and II given below them is/are definitely true. Statements: S = T, T⋆U, T$V
Conclusions: I.TSS ll.U=V
C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
D
Explanation :
S≤ T ... (i); T ≥ ü ... (ii); T < V ... (iii) From (i), T≥ S. Hence I is not true From (ii) and (iii), U ≤ T< V o r U < V. But II is U ≤, V, Hence II is also not true.
C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
D
Explanation :
K > L.... ( i ) ; K ≥ M ... (ii); M < N ... (iii)
From (i) and (ii). no relationship can be established
between L and M. Hence I is not true.
From (ii). M ≤ K. Hence II is also not true.
C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
D
Explanation :
F ≤ G ... (i); F ≥H ... (ii); F≤ K... (iii)
No relationship can be established between G and K. Hence 1 cannot be established
From (ii) and (iii). K ≥ F ≥H or K ≥ H. Hence I is false.
C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
B
Explanation :
T = S ... (i), R < Q ... (ii); Q = T ..(iii)
From (i) and (iii). Q = S. Hence I is not true
Combining (i), (ii) and (iii), S = T= Q > R or S > R. Hence II is true.
C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
D
Explanation :
B > C ... ( i ) ; C < D ... (ii); E < C ... (iii)
No relationship can be established between B and D Hence I can't be established From (ii), D > C Hence II is false.
