Discussion
Statements
R$S ,S@T ,T#U
Conclusions
I.U%S II.T$R III.S@U
Answer: C
Correct answer: None of these
Translating the code: \(@\) is “greater than”, \(\#\) is “greater than or equal to”, \(\%\) is “less than or equal to”, \(*\) is “equal to” and \(\$\) is “less than”. The statements read \( R < S \), \( S > T \) and \( T \ge U \). Chaining the last two gives \( S > T \ge U \), so \( S > U \). Conclusion III is \( S @ U \), that is \( S > U \) - true. But conclusion I is \( U \% S \), that is \( U \le S \), and \( S > U \) certainly makes \( U \le S \) hold - so I is true as well. Conclusion II is \( T < R \); here \( R < S \) and \( T < S \) both point at S from below, which fixes no order between R and T, so II does not follow. Conclusions I and III are true and II is not, and no option offers that combination - hence “None of these”. The trap is reading \(\le\) as requiring equality to be possible; a strict inequality satisfies it.
