Directions (6 – 10): In these questions symbols @, $, #, &, % are used with different meanings as follows.

P @ Q   means P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q

P # Q     means P is neither greater than nor equal to Q

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

P % Q    means P is not greater than Q

P & Q    means P is not smaller than Q
