Inequality questions<\/strong> are a part of the Reasoning Ability section<\/strong> in banking exams like the IBPS PO<\/strong> Mains<\/strong> exam. These questions are asked to check the logical ability of students. Usually, 3 to 4 inequality questions are asked in the IBPS PO Mains exam. These questions require logical comparison and are considered more scoring. And as it is more scoring, it is recommended to practice these questions as much as you can. Read on to know how to solve them easily in less time. We have provided a free PDF containing the most asked Inequality questions in the IBPS PO Mains exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inequality Basic Concept for IBPS PO 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inequality questions involve comparing two or more elements (usually letters like A, B, C, etc.) using mathematical symbols that show their relation in terms of greater than, less than, equal to, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common symbols used in inequality questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symbol<\/th>Meaning<\/th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
><\/code><\/td>Greater than<\/td>A > B \u2192 A is greater than B<\/td><\/tr>
<<\/code><\/td>Less than<\/td>A < B \u2192 A is less than B<\/td><\/tr>
\u2265<\/code><\/td>Greater than or equal<\/td>A \u2265 B \u2192 A is greater than or equal to B<\/td><\/tr>
\u2264<\/code><\/td>Less than or equal<\/td>A \u2264 B \u2192 A is less than or equal to B<\/td><\/tr>
=<\/code><\/td>Equal to<\/td>A = B \u2192 A is equal to B<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the Inequality questions, you are given a set of statements<\/strong> and conclusions<\/strong>, and you need to combine the statements logically and check if the given conclusion(s) follow from the statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Inequality Questions Asked in IBPS PO Mains Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are six types of inequality questions that are asked in the IBPS PO Mains exam, which are: direct inequality, reverse inequality, coded inequality, either\/ or case, only\/ only a few type, and double comparison inequality. These are discussed below with an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 1: Direct Inequality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the direct inequality question, you are given a set of statements and conclusions. You have to check which conclusion(s) follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/strong>:
Statements: A > B = C \u2265 D < E
Conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A > C<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. D < B
    Answer<\/strong>: Only conclusion 2 follows.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Type 2: Reverse Inequality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In the reverse inequality, instead of statements, conclusions are given, and you have to find which set of statements makes the conclusions true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/strong>:
    Conclusions: A > C, B < D
    Options: (Select the one whose statements make both conclusions true)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Type 3: Coded Inequality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In the coded inequality questions, symbols like @, #, $, %, &<\/code> are used with predefined meanings. You need to decode them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/strong>:
    Given:
    A @ B \u2192 A > B
    A # B \u2192 A = B
    A $ B \u2192 A < B
    Then evaluate:
    Statements: P @ Q # R
    Conclusions: P > R<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Type 4: Either\/Or Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In these types of questions, the conclusions are logically opposite, but one must be true<\/strong> if the condition fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/strong>:
    Statements: A \u2265 B > C
    Conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. C < A<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. C = A
      Answer<\/strong>: Either 1 or 2 follows.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Type 5: Only \/ Only a few Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In this type of inequality question, a statement is used with a combination of conclusions and conditional logic. It tests your precision in conclusion selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Example<\/strong>:
      Statements: M \u2265 N = O < P
      Conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Only conclusion 1 follows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Only conclusion 2 follows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Both follow<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Neither follow<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Either 1 or 2 follows<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Type 6: Double Inequality Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        In the double inequality questions, you are asked to compare two elements from different parts of the statement chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Example<\/strong>:
        Statements: W \u2265 X = Y < Z \u2264 A
        Conclusion: W > A
        Answer<\/strong>: Can’t be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
