i) x @ y # z means x is multiplied by the sum of y and z.
ii) x © y % z means y is divided by z and the resultant is added to square of x.
iii) x $ y * z means z is subtracted from the product of x and y.
iv) x . y e z means z is subtracted from y and the resultant is added to x.

Answer:  Option D.
13 @ 4 # 3 = 13 × (4 +3) = 91. Hence p = 91.
Now we have, 91 $ 5 * 55 = (91 × 5) - 55 = 400. So option D is the answer

Answer: Option C.
(b * 15) – 18 = 4² b = 4. (36/9) + 42 = 20. So option C is the answer.

DIRECTIONS for the question 4: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option. ‘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 equal to B’.
‘A*B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor smaller than B.
‘A©B’ means ‘A is not smaller than B’.
Assuming the above statements to be true, you have to decide which of the conclusions is /are definitely true and then mark your answer accordingly.

Answer: Option E.
H > R...(i); R > W...(ii); W = F....(iii); J < F....(iv)
Combining all we get H> R>W=F>J…..(v)
From (v), we get H > F (conclusion I
J < W (conclusion II)
R > J (conclusion III)
Hence, conclusions I, II and III are true. Hence option E is the answer.

DIRECTIONS for the question 5 to 7: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.
Eight people P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W live on separate floors of an 8-floor building. Ground floor is numbered-1, first floor is numbered-2 and so on until the topmost floor is numbered 8.
P lives on floor numbered five. Only two people live between P and Q. Q lives above P.
V lives immediately above S. T lives immediately above R.
Only one person lives between T and W.
T lives above W. U lives on an odd numbered floor.

Answer: Option C.
Form the given information, we can make the following arrangement:

Person	Floor
Q	8
V	7
S	6
P	5
T	4
R	3
W	2
U	1

S lives on floor 6. R lives on floor 3. So, two persons P and T live between the floors on which S and R live.

Answer: Option C.

Person	Floor
Q	8
V	7
S	6
P	5
T	4
R	3
W	2
U	1

S lives on the floor immediately above P.

Answer: Option B.

Person	Floor
Q	8
V	7
S	6
P	5
T	4
R	3
W	2
U	1

The 2nd statement 'U lives on floor no. 1' is true.
