If you are preparing for the RRB Clerk 2025 exam, then you must focus on Inequality from the Reasoning section. This is one of the easiest and most scoring topics in the exam. Last year, 3-4 questions were asked on this topic. Once you understand the basic rules and practice regularly, you can solve these questions quickly and correctly. In this blog, we will explain what inequality is, its types, weightage in the exam, and tips to solve.
What is Inequality?
Inequality is a topic in reasoning where you compare two things using signs like greater than (>), less than (<), equal to (=), and so on. You have to decide if one element is bigger, smaller, or equal to another using a group of given statements. These questions test your logical thinking and understanding of relationships.
Common Symbols Used:
- > (greater than)
- < (less than)
- = (equal to)
- ≥ (greater than or equal to)
- ≤ (less than or equal to)
- ≠ (not equal to)
Types of Inequality Questions
There are mainly two types of inequality questions asked in the exam:
1. Direct Inequality
In this type, statements directly compare elements. You just need to check the relationship between them and answer the question.
Example:
Statements: A > B ≥ C
Conclusion: Is A > C? (Yes)
2. Coded Inequality
In coded inequality, symbols are replaced with different codes. You need to decode them first and then solve the question as usual.
Example:
If ‘A @ B’ means ‘A > B’, and ‘A$B’ means ‘A = B’, then decode and find the correct conclusion.

Tips to Solve Inequality Questions
If you know the right tips, then your time will be utilized wisely. Iyts important in this paper to make use of most time. Here are some useful tips to help you master this topic:
1. Learn the Symbols
Know the meaning of all inequality signs. This is the first and most important step.
2. Understand the Order
Know how to use statements like A > B and B > C to find that A > C. This is called the transitive rule.
3. Practice Step-by-Step
Start with simple problems. Slowly move to complex ones where you have to check multiple conclusions.
4. Solve Coded Inequality Regularly
Practice converting coded symbols into real symbols. This will help you solve them quickly in the exam.
5. Avoid Assumptions
Only use the information given in the statements. Do not assume anything beyond that.
