IBPS RRB 2019 Prelims Reasoning Ability Quiz: PO/Clerk

Dear Aspirants,

Reasoning Questions for IBPS RRB 2019

Reasoning Ability is a crafty section. It eventually affects the number of question one can usually attempt. But this section is based on logic and rules can be aced if practised well enough. The only way to achieve this ambitious goal is by practising continuously with dedication. So to prepare you with best tools for the finals, here is today’s Reasoning Quiz based on the study plan and the exact same pattern of questions that are expected to be asked in IBPS RRB PO and Clerk Exam.

Directions (11-13): In the following questions, the symbols @, #, %, $ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below-

‘P@Q’ means ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’

‘P*Q’ means ‘P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q’

‘P$Q’ means ‘P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q’

‘P%Q’ means ‘P is not smaller than Q’

‘P#Q’ means ‘P is not greater than Q’

Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statement to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.
