Reasoning Coded Inequalities Topic Complete Explanation

Hi everyone today we have come up with a simple and easiest topic to score easy marks in any competitive exams that is Coded - Inequalities. Though it is very easy topic in reasoning without knowing proper rules anyone can find difficulties to solve these also. That is why our team came up with this post to clear your doubts in this subject.


In this session a statement/expression consists of a group of elements along with the relationship among them, which may be given in coded form. Before we start the discussing on the steps to be followed for solving these questions lets check the meaning of certain symbols first in below table (as we found some are having trouble in identifying symbols and their meanings).

S.No	Symbol	Meaning
1.	>	First element is Greater than Second element.
2.	<	First element is Smaller than Second element.
3.	=	First element is Equals to Second element.
4.	≥	First element is Greater than or Equals to Second element.
5.	≤	First element is Smaller than or Equals to Second element.
6.	≠	First element is either greater than or smaller than Second element.

Now we are clear about the meanings of different symbols. Check the below table for relationships gives Conclusions for the Statements.

S.No	Statement	Conclusion
1.	A>B>C	A>C
2.	A>B≥C
3.	A≥B>C
4.	A=B>C
5.	A>B=C
6.	A<B<C	A<C
7.	A<B≤C
8.	A≤B<C
9.	A=B<C
10.	A<B=C
11.	A≥B≥C	A≥C(Either A>C or A=C)
12.	A=B≥C
13.	A≥B=C
14.	A≤B≤C	A≤C(Either A<C or A=C)
15.	A=B≤C
16.	A≤B=C
17.	A<B>C	Either 1 or 2 follows if any of the following cases (a, b, c and d) are given as they form a complementary pair. a) 1. A>C         2. A≤C b) 1. A≥C         2. A<C c) 1. A<C         2. A≥C d) 1. A≤C         2. A>C
18.	A≤B>C
19.	A<B≥C
20.	A>B<C
21.	A>B≤C
22.	A≥B<C

The above might clear most of the doubts that raised so far in your brains, but knowing is not enough we have to apply it and practice to keep up with exam time pace. Soon we will come up with examples that might help you in exams keep updated here..... Also if you like it please hit like and share it...
