EQUALITY – INEQUALITY
In these types of questions, some statements are provided using English alphabets and
symbols and some questions are asked on the basis of symbolic information.
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
If in a statement both ≥ and > are present continuously, then it is taken as ‘>’
If in a statement both > and < are used in opposite directions then there is no
given) in a question are False and both the conclusion consists of the same
EXAMPLE
Certain symbols have been used to indicate relationships between elements as follows:
A%B means A is neither smaller than nor greater than B => A=B
conclusions I and II. Assuming that the given statements are true, find out which
QUESTION 1:
Conclusions: I. V$Y
II. X#T
SOLUTION: Substitute the symbols given in the statements using the directions given
above
Statement: T≤V>X≥Y
From the statement, T≤V>X opposite directions of symbol hence there is no relation
between T and X
QUESTION 2:
Conclusions: I. L#N
II. M*P
SOLUTION: Substitute the symbols given in the statements using the directions given
above
Statement: L≤M<N>P
From the statement, L≤M<N which proves that L<N. Hence Conclusion I is FALSE
From the statement, M<N>P opposite directions of symbol hence there is no relation
between M and P
QUESTION 3:
Conclusions: I. H@F
II. F%H
SOLUTION: Substitute the symbols given in the statements using the directions given
above
Statement: F≥G=H>K
From the statement, F≥G=H which proves that H≤F. Hence Conclusion I is FALSE
From the statement, F≥G=H, which proves that F≥H. Hence FALSE
Both the Conclusions consist of the same alphabets even though both are false.
