Inequality Reasoning Questions for SBI Clerk 2020 with Solutions

Reasoning Questions for SBI Clerk 2020

Directions (Q1-5): In these questions, the relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer

Q1. Statements: Z< R ≥ O = M ≤ T = K

Conclusions: I. K ≥ O II. Z > M

a) if only conclusion I is true

b) if only conclusion II is true

c) if either conclusion I or II is true

d) if neither conclusion I nor II is true

e) if both conclusions I and II are true.

Solutions-

Conclusions: I. K ≥ O(True Because O = M ≤ T = K means O ≤ K or K ≥ O) II. Z > M(Not True Because <  and  ≥ are shown between Z and M.)

Thus only conclusion I is true.

Q2. Statements: T = N ≤ O ≥ P > Q = R

Conclusions: I. O > R II. P ≤ T

a) if only conclusion I is true

b) if only conclusion II is true

c) if either conclusion I or II is true

d) if neither conclusion I nor II is true

e) if both conclusions I and II are true.

Solutions-

Conclusions: I. O > R(True because O ≥ P > Q = R means O > R) II. P ≤ T(Not True Because ≤  and  ≥ are shown between P and T.)

Thus only conclusion I is true.

Q3. Statements: B < O = L ≤ W = S

Conclusions: I. W ≤ B II. O ≥ S

a) if only conclusion I is true

b) if only conclusion II is true

c) if either conclusion I or II is true

d) if neither conclusion I nor II is true

e) if both conclusions I and II are true.

Solutions-

Conclusions: I. W ≤ B(Not True as its obvious.) II. O ≥ S(Not True as its obvious.)

Thus, neither conclusion I nor II is true.

Q4. Statements: K = R ≥ T < O = P ≥ S

Conclusions: I. K < O II. T < S

a) if only conclusion I is true

b) if only conclusion II is true

c) if either conclusion I or II is true

d) if neither conclusion I nor II is true

e) if both conclusions I and II are true.

Solutions-

Conclusions: I. K < O (Not True as its obvious.) II. T < S(Not True as its obvious.)

Thus, neither conclusion I nor II is true.

Q5. Statements: P > Q ≥ V < R = I

Conclusions: I. V < P II. I > V

a) if only conclusion I is true

b) if only conclusion II is true

c) if either conclusion I or II is true

d) if neither conclusion I nor II is true

e) if both conclusions I and II are true.

Solutions-

Conclusions: I. V < P(True because P > Q ≥ V means P>V.) II. I > V(True because V < R = I means I>V.)

Thus, both conclusions I and II are true.
