The banking team of bank4study.com has come up with concept, shortcuts, tricks and questions for Inequalities - Mathematical Operation (Reasoning).
The concept provided by us will help you to understand the topic. The questions offered by us are framed by keeping in view need of the question paper.
We have come up with a simple and easiest topic to score easy marks in any competitive exams (IBPS, SBI, RBI, SSC) that is Inequalities - Mathematical Operation. Though it is very easy topic in reasoning without knowing proper rules anyone can find difficulties to solve these also. That is why our team came up with this post to clear your doubts in this subject.
Before we
start the discussing on the steps to be followed for solving these questions
lets check the meaning of certain symbols first in below table (as we found
some are having trouble in identifying symbols and their meanings).
S.No
|

|
Meaning
|
1.
|
>

|
2.
|
<
|
First
element is Smaller than Second element.
|
3.
|
=
|
First
element is Equals to Second element.
|
4.
|
≥
|
First
element is Greater than or Equals to Second element.
|
5.
|
≤
|
First
element is Smaller than or Equals to Second element.
|
6.
|
≠
|
First
element is either greater than or smaller than Second element.
|
Now we are clear about the meanings of different symbols. Check the below table
for relationships gives Conclusions for the Statements.

Either 1 or 2
follows if any of the following cases (a, b, c and d) are given as they form
a complementary pair.
a) 1.
A > C 2. A ≤ C
b) 1. A ≥ C 2.
A < C
c) 1. A < C
2. A ≥ C
d) 1. A ≤ C
2. A > C
|
18.
|
A ≤ B> C
|
|
19.
|
A < B≥ C
|
|
20.
|
A > B < C
|
|
21.
|
A > B ≤ C
|
|
22.
|
A ≥ B < C
|
The above might
clear most of the doubts that raised so far in your brains, but knowing is not
enough we have to apply it and practice to keep up with exam time pace.
