Inequalities questions for SBI PO: The questions of inequality are part of the reasoning section. Although, they are not asked in SBI PO mains but are deot to avoid them. finitely asked in SBI PO prelims. So, it’s better not to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Question 1: In the question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion (s) among given three conclusions is \/are definitely true and then give your answer accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statements: <\/strong>Y>O\u2265S\u2264T; S \u2265 K\u2265H < V<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I. Y>V<\/p>\n\n\n\n II. T \u2265H<\/p>\n\n\n\n III. H\u2264O<\/p>\n\n\n\n a. Only conclusion I is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n b. Only conclusions I and III are true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n c. Only conclusion II is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n d. Only conclusions II and III are true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n e. All conclusions I, II and III are false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer: d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given statements: Y>O\u2265S\u2264T; S \u2265 K\u2265H < V<\/p>\n\n\n\n On combining, we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n Y>O\u2265S \u2265 K\u2265H < V; T \u2265 S \u2265 K\u2265H < V<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I. Y>V: False (As Y>O\u2265S \u2265 K\u2265H < V, the relation between Y and V cannot be determined)<\/p>\n\n\n\n II. T\u2265H: True (As T \u2265 S \u2265 K\u2265H, so, T\u2265H)<\/p>\n\n\n\n III. H\u2264O: True (As O\u2265S \u2265 K\u2265H, so, O \u2265 H)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question 2: In the question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion (s) among given three conclusions is \/are definitely true and then give your answer accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Statements: B \u2265 K = T; X < B \u2264 M; G > K > F<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I. F < X<\/p>\n\n\n\n II. M \u2265 K<\/p>\n\n\n\n III. B > F<\/p>\n\n\n\n a. Only conclusion I is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n b. Only conclusions II and III are true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n c. Only conclusion II is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n d. Only conclusions I and II are true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n e. All conclusions I, II and III are false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer: b<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given statements: B \u2265 K = T; X < B \u2264 M; G > K > F<\/p>\n\n\n\n On combining, we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n X < B \u2265 K > F; T = K \u2264 B > X; M \u2265 B \u2265 K > F<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I. F < X: False (As X < B \u2265 K > F, the relation between F and X can\u2019t be determined)<\/p>\n\n\n\n II. M \u2265 K: True (As M \u2265 B \u2265 K, so M \u2265 K)<\/p>\n\n\n\n III. B > F: True (As B \u2265 K > F, so B > F)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question 3: Which of the following 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 makes the expression \u2018P > Q\u2019 definitely false?<\/p>\n\n\n\n __ > __ < __ \u2264 __ > __ \u2264 __<\/p>\n\n\n\n a. U, T, P, S, R, Q<\/p>\n\n\n\n b. P, T, S, Q, R, U<\/p>\n\n\n\n c. T, P, U, Q, S, R<\/p>\n\n\n\n d. P, R, Q, T, S, U<\/p>\n\n\n\n e. None of the above<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer: c<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n i. Putting the option (a) values to the equation, we get U > T < P \u2264 S > R \u2264 Q, here P > Q is not definitely false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ii. Putting the option (b) values to the equation, we get P > T < S \u2264 Q > R \u2264 U, here P > Q is not definitely false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n iii. Putting the option (c) values to the equation, we get T > P < U \u2264 Q > S \u2264 R, here P > Q is definitely false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n iv. Putting the option (d) values to the equation, we get P > R < Q \u2264 T > S \u2264 U, here P > Q is not definitely false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question 4: Which of the following symbols should replace the question marks (?) in the given expression in order to make the expressions \u2018A \u2265 C\u2019 definitely true?<\/p>\n\n\n\n G > C (?) E \u2264 D; B > A \u2265 D<\/p>\n\n\n\n a. \u2265<\/p>\n\n\n\n b. <<\/p>\n\n\n\n c. ><\/p>\n\n\n\n d. None of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n e. \u2264<\/p>\n\n\n\n i. Replacing the signs of option (a) in the given inequality, G > C \u2265 E \u2264 D; B > A \u2265 D, it doesn\u2019t satisfy the given condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ii. Replacing the signs of option (c) in the given inequality, G > C < E \u2264 D; B > A \u2265 D, it doesn\u2019t satisfy the given condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n iii. Replacing the signs of option (d) in the given inequality, G > C > E \u2264 D; B > A \u2265 D, it doesn\u2019t satisfy the given condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n iv. Replacing the signs of option (e) in the given inequality, G > C \u2264 E \u2264 D; B > A \u2265 D, it satisfies the given condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disclaimer:<\/strong> The Inequalities Questions for SBI PO<\/em> provided on PracticeMock\u2019s blog are intended solely for educational and exam-preparation purposes.
