CODED INEQUALITIES
Directions (Q. 1-5) : In these questions symbols @, #, $, % and © are used with different meanings as follows.
‘A @ B’ means ‘A is smaller than B’.
‘A # B’ means ‘A is greater than B’.
‘A $ B’ means ‘A is either smaller than or equal to B’.
‘A % B’ means ‘A is either greater than or equal to B’.
‘A©B’ means ‘A is neither greater nor smaller than B’.
In each questions, three state-ments showing relationships have been given, which are followed by two conclusions I and II. Assuming that the given statements are true, find out which conclusions (s) is/are definitely true?
Mark answer:
(1) If only conclusion I is true.
(2) If only conclusion II is true.
(3) If either conclusion I or II is true.
(4) If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
(5) If both conclusions I and II are true.
1. Statements: T# R, R% H, H @ F.(1)
Conclusions: I. H @ T
II. F © T.
2. Statements: L $ K, K @ M, J % M.(5)
Conclusions : I. L @ M
II. K @ J.
3. Statements: F© D, D # V, V @ P.(2)
Conclusions: I. F©P
II. V @ F.
4. Statements: E $ W, W @ Q, Q % H.(4)
Conclusions : I. E $ Q
II. E © H
5. Statements: J © T, T # W, W % R.(1)
Conclusions: I. J # R
II. T % R.
Directions (Q. 6-10) : In these questions, relationship between different elements is show in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions.
Give answer :
(1) if only conclusion I follows
(2) if only conclusion II follows
(3) if either conclusion I or II follows
(4) if neither conclusion I nor II follows
(5) if both conclusions I and II follow
6. Statements : N ≥ O ≥ P = Q > R(1)
Conclusions : I. N > R
II. R = N
7. Statements : W ≤ X < Y = Z > A; W < B(4)
Conclusions : I. B > Z
II. W > A
8. Statements : H > I > J > K; L > M < K(5)
Conclusions : I. I > M
II. L < H
9. Statements : C < D < E ; D > F ≥ G(4)
Conclusions : I. C ≥ G
II. F > E
10. Statements : R > S ≥ T ≥ U ; V < T(2)
Conclusions : I. V ≥ U
II. V < R
