Inequality Problems Made Easy - )
Inequality Problems Made Easy - )
In Inequality, at first they give some directions for the Problems. And in each
problem, there will be statements followed by 4 conclusions. Our job is to find
the conclusions which are true.
1) Coded Inequality.
2) Direct Inequality.
= – Equal to
Directions
P $ Q means P is not smaller than Q
Now our first work is to find what does the symbol means indirectly?
Now we decoded the symbols and we clearly know what is the meaning of each
symbol. Make sure that you form a table as above. The symbols >, ≥, and =
should be in one row and the symbols <, ≤, and = should be in another row.
Don’t memorize the table. Usually Symbols change. You have to decode it
correctly and form a table.
Note:
Just remember these lines. You will understand it while solving problems.
Never make a mistake in forming this table. If you make a mistake then you
loose all the 5 or 6 marks.
Example 1
N ∂ B $ W # H © M
Step 2 – Analyze the conclusions one by one. Always compare with the
Modified Statement.
1. M @ W
2. H @ N
3. W @ N
Example 2
Statements – R © D, D $ J, J # M, M @ K
Conclusions – 1. K # J. 2. D @ M 3. R # M. 4. D @ K
Table
1. K # J
2. D @ M
3. R # M
4. D @ K
NOTE: When more than one conclusion in false, check for merging concept. If
the characters are same and both the statements are false, and while
merging, if we get a meaningful symbol, then the statements can be merged.
(To learn clearly about merging, check Syllogism Made Easy).
In the above problem, all the characters of the statements are different. So we
can not merge it. So None is True.
Example 3
Statements: M $ K, K @ N, N © R, R # W
Step 1: M $ K @ N © R # W
(You don’t need to draw table again and again. I am pasting it for your
convenience.)
Analyzing Conclusions
2) M $ R – Forward Line. Symbols are $, @, ©. They are in different rows, False.
Example 4
Conclusions: 1) V $ F. 2) E @ T. 3) H @ V. 4) T # V
Conclusions
2) E @ T – Reverse Line. Symbols are ∂ and #. Both are in Row 2. High priority
is #. Symbol opposite to # is @. So E @ T is True.
4) T # V – Forward line. Symbols are #, ∂, and ©. All are in Row 2. High Priority
is for #. So T # V is True.
Answer – Conclusion 1, 2, and 4 are True.
