Directions (1-5): In the following questions the symbol *, $, #, % and @ are used with the
following meaning as illustrated below:
‘A $ B’ means ‘A is not smaller than B.’
‘A * B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor equal to B.’
‘A # B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor equal to B.’
‘A % B’ means ‘A is not greater than B.’
‘A @ B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor smaller than B.’
