Handy Notes of Reasoning : Inequalities-Part I ‘Inequalities is one of the topic where you can get fll marks very easily. itis @ common topic forall competitive exams. We can ‘expect 3 to 5 questions from Inequality. + Before discussing detalsfor solving Inequalities questions, lets hack the mesning of certain symbols in below table ‘Symbol ‘Meaning > First element is greater than second element < First element is smaller than second element ~ First elements equalto second element ‘= _| Fist elements greater than or equal to second element ‘=| Fist element s smaller than or equal to second element 2 First elements not equal t second element + To cheek the different relationship, we are presenting some ferent statement and conclusions in below table. From given below table you will gt clear concept of relationship between two laters. ‘So. | Statement | Conclusion [wore 2 | ASBEC) 3 [AaB>C] ave 4 [A= Bac] 5 [A> Bac « [ACora=q B [A=82c) 33, [AZB=C uu [AsBac Bec] 16.

But both the conclusions are wrong and both have same variables. And by combining both conclusions you will get the actual relation betveen A and C which comes from statement, =R=SaT ‘conelusion :(9)P>7 (oper From the above ststement itis clear that P iether equals to Tor ie grester than T So individually both the conclusions ace wrong. bout by combining them we wil get that Ps either greater than or equalstoT (P= 7). ‘conetusion i: (3) >s () 05 Similarly from the above statement for conclusion Il we can see ‘that there isan either /or case between Q and S, So Qeither wil be grester than or equals 295. Complicated case of "Ether-o«” Statement: H= M=V=K ‘conclusions: (1) H < oyRaK ) In the above statement we cannot find the relation between H and K There may be three possiblities of relation between H and K. le (o)H>K (OH S.M Of ln the above question by combining the statements together we get SFEB Conclusions: Le BSL This is another example showing that no lect relation is found between B and Land alltne three possible conditions as >B, LB or L=B can be there So the ancwer wil be ether canchision! or I fell Questions based on inequality are of two types (a) Direct inequality (2) Indirect inequality ‘This fe Pare tof handy notes....next part will come in next month dition...So stay connected with Competition Power... c M VEMBER
