Reasoning Quiz on Inequality

Dear readers, here we are providing you a quiz on Inequality. Hope you like the post.



Directions—(1-–5) In the following questions, the symbols @, $, %, # and © are used with the following meanings illustrated—

‘A @ B’ means ‘A is not smaller than B’.
‘A $ B’ means ‘A is not greater than B’.
‘A % B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor equal to B’.
‘A # B’ means ‘A is neither greater than nor equal to B’.
‘A © B’ means ‘A is neither smaller than nor greater than B’.


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.
2] If only conclusion II is true.
3] If either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.
4] If neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
5] If both conclusions I and II are true.

1.    Statements: A @ B, B # C, C $ D
Conclusions: I. D % A    II. C % A

2.    Statements: M $ N, N @ P,  P % Q
Conclusions: I. P © M     II. Q # N
                 
3.    Statements: E % F, F # G,  G @ H
Conclusions: I. H # F      II. E % G

4.    Statements: J © K,  K $ L,  L % M
Conclusions: I. L © J      II. L % J
                 
5.    Statements: W # X,  X % Y, Y © Z
Conclusions: I. Z # X      II. Y # W         


Directions (6-10): Read each of the following statements carefully and answer the questions.

7.    If the expressions 'E < J £ H > Z', 'H £ Y' and 'E > F' are true, which of the following conclusions will be definitely false?

9.    In which of the following expressions will the expression ‘P > S’ be definitely false?
(1) P > Q ³ R = S                     
(2) S £ R £ Q < P
(3) R = P > Q ³ S                     
(4) S > Q ³ R < P
(5) S < Q £ R < P


10.  Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that ‘N < K’ definitely holds true?
