Coded Inequality

REASONING Coded Inequality

Coded Inequality

 Inequality is one of the most important topics from which 3-5 questions are expected in the bank exams. Inequalities questions are either asked directly or in the coded form & both of the types are important. Here in this ppt, we are discussing the concept of coded inequality:

Coded Inequality

 Directions (1-5): The symbols @, #, %, $ and © are used in the following questions with the meaning as mentioned below‘P is not smaller than Q’ is represented by ‘P$Q’ ‘P is not greater than Q’ is represented by ‘P@Q’ ‘P is neither greater than nor equal to Q’ is represented by ‘P#Q’ ‘P is neither equal to nor smaller than Q’ is represented by ‘P©Q’ ‘P is neither smaller than nor greater than Q’ is represented by ‘P%Q’ 

Assuming the given statement to be true, find which among the following conclusions is/are definitely true?

Coded Inequality

Q1. Statements: M © S @ Z % R $ N Conclusions: I. M © Z II. R $ M III.S © N (a) None is true (b) Only I is true (d) Either I or II is true (e) All are true

(c) Only III is true

S1. Ans (d) To solve coded inequality based questions, we should first convert coded inequality into simplified form: M>S≤Z=R≥N M © Z i.e. M > Z (false) R $ M i.e. R ≥ M (false) S © N i.e. S > N (false)

Coded Inequality

Q2. Statements: A $ B, B % M, K © M Conclusions: I. K © B II. M @ A III. A © K (a) Only I and III are true (b) Only II and III are true (c) Only I and II are true (d) All are true S2. Ans (c) On converting coded inequality into simplified form, we get: A≥ B = M < K K © B i.e. K > B (true) M @ A i.e. M ≤ A (true) A © K i.e. A > K (false)

(e) None of these

Coded Inequality

Q3. Statements: R $ M, M © Z, Z @ A, Y © Z Conclusions: I. R © Y II. Z # R III.Y © R (a) None is true (b) Only II is true (d) Only II and III are true (e) All are true S3. Ans (b) On converting coded inequality into simplified form, we get: R ≥ M >Z ≤A Y>Z R © Y i.e. R > Y (false) Z # R i.e. Z < R (true) Y © R i.e. Y > R (false)

(c) Only I and II are true

Coded Inequality

Q4. Statements: M © S @ Z % R $ N Conclusions: I. N # Z II. R # M III. S % N (a) None follows (b) Only I is true (d) Either I or II is true (e) All are true S4. Ans (a) On converting coded inequality into simplified form, we get: M>S≤Z=R≥N N # Z i.e. N < Z (false) R # M i.e. R < M (false) S % N i.e. S = N (false)

(c) Only III is true

Coded Inequality

Q5. Statements: R $ M, M © Z, Z @ A, Y © Z Conclusions: I. R © Z II. Z # A III.R % A (a) Only I is true (b) Only II is true (d) Only II and III are true (e) All are true S5. Ans (a) On converting coded inequality into simplified form, we get: R ≥ M >Z ≤A Y>Z R © Z i.e. R > Z (true) Z # A i.e. Z < A (false) R % A i.e. R = A (false)

(c) Only I and II are true
