CMAT 2017 Solved Question Paper

(b) x ~ y = 8
⇒ x = y + 8

I. Both x and y are positive
If we have x = 7 and then y = -1
⇒ Condition I is not true
II. If x is positive, y must be positive
⇒ If we have x = 5 then y = - 3
⇒ Condition II is not true
III. If x is negative, y must be negative
If we have x = -1 6 then y =x -8
= -16 - 8
= -24
Condition III is true as whenever x is negative, y isalso negative.
