Dear IBPS Clerk 2015 Aspirants practice Reasoning questions set of 19 questions of Inequality for upcoming IBPS Clerk Exam. Try to solve these Inequality and share time taken to solve these questions.
In Reasoning section for IBPS Clerk 2015- Puzzles, syllogism, inequality play important role in preliminary exam. In next post we will provide Coding-Decoding practice set.
Directions (1 – 5): In these questions symbols @, $, #, &, % are used with different meanings as follows.

P % Q means P is not smaller than Q ----------------- [ P≥ Q ]
P © Q means P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q --- [ P > Q]
P x Q means P is neither greater than nor equal to Q --------- [ P < Q ]
P ∂ Q means P is not greater than Q ---------- [ P ≤ Q ]
P @ Q means P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q------- [ P=Q ]
12. (D) Statement – R ∂ K ; K x M ; M @ J
R ≤ K < M = J
Conclusions -:
I. J © K ------- [ J > K ]
II. M © R ---- [ M > R ]
III. R X J ------ [ R < J ]
Clearly All the conclusions are true
13 -(C) Statements – Z @ M ; M © K ; K X F
Z = M > K < F
Conclusions - :
I. F © Z ---------- [ F > Z ] cannot be said.
II. K X Z --------- [ K < Z ] Surely it is
III. F © M -------- [ F > M ] cannot be said
So Only II is correct.
14- (E)Statements – V % H ; H @ F ; F ∂ E
V ≥ H = F ≤ E
Conclusions :-
I. F @ V ---- [ F=V ] not sure may nor may not be
II. F X V --------- [ F < V ] Not sure may or may not be
III. E % H ------- [ E ≥ H ] Surely.
But here F= H & H ≤ V so indirectly F≤V so either F= V or F < V but not both at a time, but atleast one has to hold. So either I or II should be there and III is always right. So answer is either I or II & III are correct.
15 -(A) Statements – W © T ; T ∂ N ; N % D
Means – W > T
N ≥ T
N ≥ D
Conclusions :-
I. D X T ----- [ D < T ] cannot be said. No idea of relation between them
II. W © N -- [ W > N ] cannot be said
III. D @ T -- [ D = T ] cannot be said.
So here None is true.
16-19
A $ B means A not a lessthan B Therefore, A = B
A # B means A not a greater than B Therefore, A = B
A @ B means A not a lessthan B and A ? B Therefore, A = B
A © B means A not a lessthan B and A !> B Therefore, A = B
A % B means A not a greater than B and A ? B Therefore, A < B
16.(B) H % J = H < J
J © N = J = N
N @ R = N > R
Therefore, H < J = N > R
Conclusions:
I. R % J = R < J ( True )
II. H @ J =H > J ( Not true)
III. N @ J =N > H (True)
17.(E)
M % J = M > J
J $ T = J = T
T © N =T = N
Therefore, M > J = T = N
Conclusions:
I. N # J = N = J ( true )
II. T % M = T < M ( true)
III. M @ N =M > N ( true)
18.(C)
D © K -> D = K
K # F -> K = F
F @ P -> F > P
Therefore, D = K = F > P
Conclusions:
I. P @ D -> P > D ( Not true )
II. K # P -> K = P ( Not true )
III.F $ D -> F = D ( True )
19. (D)
K # N -> K = N
N $ T -> N = T
T % J -> T > J
Therefore, K = N = T > J
Conclusions:
I. J @ N -> J > N ( Not true )
II. K @ T -> K > T ( Not true )
III.T @ K -> T > K ( Not true )
