Direction[1-3]: Read the following information carefully to give the answers to the questions based on it.
P # Q means P is to the south of Q; P @ Q means P is to the north of Q; P % Q means P is to the west of Q; P $ Q means P is to the east of Q; P ! Q means P is either at 5 or 12 meters from Q; P & Q means P is either at 6 or 8 meters from Q.
Note: 1) P @ & Q means P is north of Q at a distance of either 6 or 8 meters. 2) P # % Q means P is to the south-west of Q.
Conditions: I. A @ ! B II. A @ % C III. C $ B IV. C % & D V. E # ! D VI. F % & E VII. G @ & F VIII. G # % C
1. Given M % G, MG = 5 meters, B @ M. Find the distance between B and C?
    A. 6 meters B. 12 meters C. 7 meters D. 8 meters E. None of these

2. If B @ G, then which of the following can be true regarding points B and G?
    A. G @ ! B B. B @ ! G C. B # & G D. G # & B E. None of these

3. Kate starts walking from point A, walks for 5 meters in ‘$’ direction, reaches point Y, turns ‘#’ direction, and now walks 9 meters to reach point G. Given Y @ G. What is the distance between point C and point A (Consider the data from Question 1)?
    A. Root 45 B. Root 74 C. Root 79 D. Root 83 E. None of these

Directions[4-5]: In the following questions, @, ©, %, S, and * are used with the following meaning as illustrated below:
'P © Q' means 'P' is smaller than Q'. 'P %Q' means 'P is equal to Q'. 'P * Q' means 'P is greater than Q'. 'P @ Q' means `P is either equal to or smaller than Q'. 'P $ Q' means 'P is either equal to or greater than Q'. Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is/are definitely true ?
4. Statements: J$H, H ©F, F*G Conclusions: I. F*J II. H ©G
    A. If only Conclusion I is true. B. If only Conclusion II is true. C. If either Conclusion I or II is true. D. If neither Conclusion I nor II is true. E. If both Conclusions I and II are true.

5. Statements: R%S, S@T, T ©U Conclusion's: I. U*S II. T$R
    A. If only Conclusion I is true. B. If only Conclusion II is true. C. If either Conclusion I or II is true. D. If neither Conclusion I nor II is true. E. If both Conclusions I and II are true.

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
The direction diagram is given below:

M % G, MG = 5 meters, B @ M:

MG = BX = 5M
CD = 6M
EF = 8M
CX = EF – CD = 8 – 6 = 2M
BC = BX + CX = 5 + 2 = 7M
2. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
The direction diagram is given below:

G # & B = G is to the south of B either at 6 or 8 meters.
DE = 12 meters
If GF = 6 meters
GB = DE – GF = 6 meters
If GF = 8 meters
GB = DE – GF = 12 – 8 = 4 meters (Ruled out).
That means, GF has to be 6 meters to make GB = 6 meters.
3. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
The direction diagram is given below:

If YG = 9 meters, then AB has to be 5 meters.
From the question1, BC = 7 meters
AC x AC = BC x BC + AB x AB
AC x AC = 7 x 7 + 5 x 5
AC = Root 74
4. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
J $ H = J ≥ H
H © F = H < F
F * G = F > G
Therefore, J ≥H G
neither Conclusion I nor II is true.
5. Answer - Option E
Explanation -
R % S = R = S
S @ T = S ≤ T
T © U = T < U
Therefore, R = S ≤ T < U
Both Conclusions I and II are true
