Inequality MCQ Quiz - Objective Question with Answer for Inequality - Download Free PDF

Last updated on Jun 12, 2025

Inequality based questions are based on comparison symbols that is greater than(>), less than(<),greater than or equal to(),less than or equal to() or simply equal to(=). Here whether the particular conclusion formed based on the inequality given follows the inequality or not. To solve questions based on inequality we need to have knowledge about families of symbols. There are generally two kinds of families one is greater than family and one is less than family. Greater than family consists of three symbols (>,,=) in the preference shown in bracket. Similarly less than family has preference that is (<,,=). Moreover, there is no relationship between these two families. Things explained above will be more clear with the help of questions given below for practice

Inequality Question 1:

The symbols used to represent \(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\), , \({>}\llap{/\,}\), >, < and = are respectively A, B, C, D and F. Consider the statements PAQ, QFR and SER. The correct implications from given statements are

  1. PDS, RCP
  2. PES, RBF
  3. RBQ, PFS
  4. PAS, PCR

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : PDS, RCP

Inequality Question 1 Detailed Solution

According to the question:

Symbols \(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) \({>}\llap{/\,}\) > < =
Represents A B C D E F

Given statements: 

PAQ ⇒ P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q

QFR ⇒ Q = R

SER ⇒ S < R

Combining the statements: P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) PDS, RCP

PDS → P > S → True, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, here '\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\)' can also be written as '>' thus we get P > S. Therefore, it is true)  

RCP → R \({>}\llap{/\,}\) P → True, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, here '\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\)' can also be written as '>' thus we get P > R. Therefore, it is false)  

Option 2) PES, RBF

PES → P < S → False, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, here '\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\)' can also be written as '>' thus we get P > S. Therefore, it is false)  

RBF → R ≠ F → False, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, no relation can be determined between R and F. Therefore, it is false) 

Option 3) RBQ, PFS

RBQ → R ≠ Q → False, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, we get Q = R. Therefore, it is false)

PFS → P = S → False, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, here '\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\)' can also be written as '>' therefore we get P > S. Thus, it is false)

Option 4) PAS, PCR

PAS → P \(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) S → True, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, here '\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\)' can also be written as '>' thus we get P > S. Therefore, it is true)  

PCR → P \({>}\llap{/\,}\) R → False, (As P\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\) Q = R > S. So, here '\(\ {<}\llap{/\,}\)' can also be written as '>' thus we get P > R. Therefore, it is false)

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Inequality Question 2:

A statement showing relationship between different elements is given followed by two conclusions I and II. Assuming the statement to be true, decide which of the conclusions is/are definitely true.

Statement : B > R ≥ A = M < F ≤ S

Inequality Question 2 Detailed Solution

Statement : B > R ≥ A = M < F ≤ S

Conclusions :

I B > M - True( As, B > R ≥ A = M is given)

II S ≥ A - False(As, A = M< F ≤ S is given, so S > A).

Thus, Only conclusion I is true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given statements: C < H ≤ A = M > P ≥ I > O ≥ N

Conclusions:

I) H < M → True (As C < H ≤ A = M > P ≥ I > O ≥ N. Here, we get H ≤ M, therefore it is false)

II) I ≥ N → False (As C < H ≤ A = M > P ≥ I > O ≥ N. Here, we get I ≥ N, therefore it is false)

Thus, (B) Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Inequality Question 4 Detailed Solution

Given statement: S < A ≤ N < D = W > I ≥ C > H

Conclusions:

I) N > I → False (As S < A ≤ N < D = W > I ≥ C > H. So, no relation between N and I can be determined, therefore it is false.)

II) C < A → False (As S < A ≤ N < D = W > I ≥ C > HSo, no relation between A and C can be determined, therefore it is false.)

Thus, (D) Neither I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given statement: 

H < I ≤ S = T

Y < R ≤ O < T

Combining the statements: H < I ≤ S = T > O ≥ R > Y

Conclusions:

I) H < O → Does not follow (As H < I ≤ S = T > O ≥ R > Y. So, no relation can be determined between H and O, therefore it is false.)

II) I < R → Does not follow (As H < I ≤ S = T > O R > Y. So, So, no relation can be determined between H and O, therefore it is false.)

Thus, (D) Neither I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The given statement is: C < L > I = E ≥ N > T

Conclusion i) I > T

From the statement, we can see that I = E, and E ≥ N > T. Therefore, I > T is logically correct. Hence, conclusion i) is logical.

Conclusion ii) T < C

From the statement, we can see that C < L > I. However, there is no direct relation between C and T. Therefore, we cannot conclude that T < C. Hence, conclusion ii) is not logical.

Therefore, the only conclusion that is logical is i), 

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Given Statements:  C = U < F ≤ H > G = I > R

Conclusions:

I. H > R → True (as H > G = I > R → as H is greater than G,I and I is greater than R.)

II. H > C → True (as in  C = U < F ≤ H → as C is equal to U and less than F . F is less than H. hence, H is greater than C. )

Hence, 'Both conclusions I and II are true'.

Given:

J > K = L, M \( \ge \) N < K, O < J < P, N > Q > R

Conclusions:

I. P > M → False

We have P > J and J > K which means P > K

also \( \ge \) N < K so relation between P and M cannot be determined.

II. N < P → True

We have P > J and J > K which means P > K also N < K (given)

when we combine both the relations we get, P > K > N so P > N.

So only conclusion II is true.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given Statement: C ≤ U < E; C = O > M ≥ T; M = A > L

Now,

Combined Statement: C ≤ U < E; C = O > M ≥ T; M = A > L

Conclusions:

i): E > M → True (From C ≤ U < E and C = O > M, it implies E > M)

ii): C ≥ T → False (From C = O > M ≥ T, it implies C > T or C = T)

iii): L > T → False (From M = A > L and M ≥ T, no direct relation can be established between L and T)

So, only conclusions (i) follow,

Hence the correct answer is 'Option (3)'.

Given Statement: P ≤ T < K = Y ≥ S ≥ E < L

Now,

Conclusions:

1) K > E → False (K = Y ≥ S ≥ E, this gives K E).

2) E = K False (K = Y ≥ S ≥ E, this gives K  E).

Here, both the conclusions are false but it forms the complementary pair for Either Or.

So, Either conclusion 1 or 2 is true.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Additional Information Conditions of Either-or case:

1. The elements should be the same in both the statements.

2. Both the conclusions should be false individually.

3. One conclusion should be positive and one conclusion should be negative (Complementary pair)

The two complementary pairs are:

1) All + Some not

2) No + Some

Note: Some + Some not is not considered under Either - or case.

In the given question, relationship between different elements is shown in the statement. The statement is followed by two conclusions. Study the conclusions based on the given statements and select the correct answer.

Statements:

U > H = G ≥ N; E < N > W ≥ O

Conclusion:

I. G > E

II. H > N

  1. Either conclusion I or II is true
  2. Only conclusion I is true
  3. Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true
  4. Only conclusion II is true

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : Only conclusion I is true

Inequality Question 15 Detailed Solution

Statements:

U > H = G ≥ N; E < N > W ≥ O

Conclusion:

I. G > E → True → According to the statement G ≥ N > E

II. H > N → False → According to the statement U > H = G ≥ N

Hence, Option (2) is correct.

Mistake Points

As from the equation H = G ≥ N.

Mistake points:

There is a difference in (≥, >) both the sign.

When H ≥ N means H is greater or equal to N.

When H > N means H is greater than N.

As in conclusion 2, it is said H = G ≥ N from this we cannot say H is greater than N.

Thus conclusion 2 is false.
