A > B < C (d) (i) A < C (ii) A > C • Let us consider A and B as two variables, then Inequalities can be shown as following: Rules for Priority of Symbols: Signs Meaning RULE-1: > > = For e.g. -: If C > D> E = F A < B A is less than B. Then, C > E and C > F A > B A is more than B. RULE-2: < < = A < B A is less than or equal to B. For e.g. -: If R < U< V = W A > B A is more than or equal to B. Then, R < W and R < V A = B A is equal to B. RULE-3: > < (No relation) For e.g.-: If O > M < P A ≠ B A is not equal to B. Then there will be no relation between O and P.

D > O Then there will be no relation between X and Z. In the above question by combining the statements RULE-5: < > (No relation) together we get D < E < H > O. So we cannot find the For e.g. -: If E < G > Q relation between O and D. As there can be three possible cases: O is either greater, lesser or equals to Then there will be no relation between E and Q. D. In conclusions I and II we can find all the three RULE-6: < > (No relation) possible cases so the answer will be either conclusion For e.g. -: If F < U > B I or II follow. Then there will be no relation between F and B. 3. Statement: J > B < T > U > V > X RULE-7 Conclusions: I. J < X II. X< J (a) Either- or case: In equality it is very important This is another example showing that no direct relation condition. Mostly students make mistakes in this condition. For clear concept we are giving example of is found between X and J and all the three possible "either-or" conditions as J > X, J < X or J = X can be there. So the answer will be either conclusion I or II follow. • 1st condition for "either-or" is both conclusions should be wrong. Types of Inequality: There are two of inequality - • 2nd condition is that variables of both conclusions (1) DIRECT INEQUALITY should be same. (2) INDIRECT INEQUALITY Eg. :- (3) CYCLIC INEQUALITY 1. Statement: C > D = E (4) OPINION FILLER Conclusion: (a) C > E (not true) (b) C = E (not true); Type (1) -DIRECT INEQUALITY: In above example, relation between C and E is C > E. I But both the conclusions are wrong and both have In this type, relationship symbols between variables are given B same variables. And by combining both conclusions indirect form. you will get the actual relation between C and E which Example:- T comes from statement. Institute Q. Statement: W = X > Y < Z = A < B Pvt. Ltd 2. Statement: O = P > Q > R = S Conclusion: Conclusion I: (a) O > S (b) O = S (a) B > X (b) X > Z From the above statement it is clear that O is either equals to S or O is greater than S ,So individually both Sol. None follows. the conclusions are wrong but by combining them we (a) B > X → B > A = Z > Y < X (not true) will get that O is either greater than or equals to S (O?S). (b) X > Z → X > Y < Z (not true) Conclusion II: (a) P > R (b) P = R Here, both conclusion (a) and (b) does not follow. As Similarly from the above statement for conclusion II we there is relation between B and X, X and Z. And here, can see that there is an either / or case between N and variables of both conclusions are different .So, there P, So N either will be greater than or equals to P. will no "either-or" case. (b) The complimentary case of "Either-or": Q. Statement: C > X > Z > W > P 1. Statement: U > J < K = L Conclusions: Conclusions: (1) U < L (not true) (2) U > L(not true) In the above statement we cannot find the relation (a) Z > P (true) between U and L. There may be three possibilities of (b) C > P (true) relation between U and L. Sol. Both (a) and (b) follows. i.e. (a) U > L (b) U < L (c) U = L (a) Z > P → Z > W > P (true) And we are getting all possibilities by combining both conclusions. So, this is also one case of "Either-or". (b) C > P → C > X > Z > W > P (true)
