REASONING QUIZ ON INEQUALITY

Directions (1-5): Read the information / statement given in such question carefully and answer the questions.
1.      Which of the following expressions will be true if the expression ‘H ≤ G = K > F’ is definitely true?
(1) K ≥ H                          (2) G = F        
(3) H ≥ F                          (4) F ≥ G                    
(5) None is true
2.      Which of the following expressions will not be true if the expression ‘P ≤ Q < R = S’ is definitely true?
(1) S ≥ P                          (2) P < R        
(3) S > Q                         (4) P > S                    
(5) None of these
3.      In which of the following expressions does the expression ‘W < Z’ hold true?
(1) W > Y < X ≤ Z                        (2) Z > X ≤ Y ≤ W
(3) Z ≥ Y > X ≥ W                        (4) Z > Y = X < W
(5) Z ≥ X > Y ≤ W
4.      In which of the following expressions will the expression ‘L < R’ be definitely true?
(1) L ≥ M > N = R                        (2) L = M < N > R
(3) L < M ≤ N ≤ R                        (4) R ≥ M = N < L
(5) None of these
5.      In which of the following expressions does the expression ‘D > A’ does not hold true?
(1) A < B ≤ C = D                        (2) D ≥ B > C ≥ A
(3) A ≤ B = C < D                        (4) D ≥ C ≥ B > A
(5) A > B ≤ C = D

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
In each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find out which of the two conclusions I and II given below them is /are definitely true.
Give answer (1) if only conclusion I is true.
Give answer (2) if only conclusion II is true.
Give answer (3) if either conclusion I or II is true.
Give answer (4) if neither conclusion I nor II is true.
Give answer (5) if both conclusions I and II is true
6.    Statements: A @ B, B $ C, C # D                               
Conclusions: I. A#D                     II. B@D    
7.    Statements: P&Q, Q%R, R$S     
Conclusions: I. Q $ S                 II. P#S             
8.    Statements: P&Q, Q@R, R%S  
Conclusions: I. Q%S                  II. P%S                                     
9.    Statements: A@B, B#C, C%D        
Conclusions: I. B#D                  II.D@A                
10.  Statements: A@B, B%C, C@D      
 Conclusions: I. D$B             II. B@D


Solutions (1-5):
1. (1) K ≥ H, Will definitely hold true.
2. (1) P ≤ Q < R = S
                S ≥ P, Will not be true
3. (3) W < Z
               Z ≥ Y > X ≥ W
4. (3) L < R, Will be true
                In L < M ≤ N ≤ R
5. (5) D > A, Does not hold true in expression (5): A > B ≤ C = D

Solutions (6 – 10):
            @ - >   # - <   $ - =    % - ≤     & - ≥    
6. (4) A > B = C < D
         I. A < D  False II. B > D  False

 7. (4):  P ≥ Q ≤ R = S
            I. Q = S  False          II. P < S   False          

8. (4):   P ≥ Q > R ≤ S
                 I. Q ≤ S            False     II. P ≤ S False           

9. (1): A > B < C ≤ D
                 I. B < D            True     II. D > A False

10. (4):  A > B ≤ C > D
                  I. D = B            False   II. B > D False
