Inequalities Questions For IBPS RRB Exam, Check Important Details

Cracking the IBPS RRB (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection- Regional Rural Bank) exam is aimed at many aspiring candidates looking to establish a career in the banking sector. One of the crucial sections of this exam is the reasoning ability section, which includes a variety of question types. Among these, inequalities questions hold a crucial place. These questions test a candidate’s logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Inequalities for RRB Bank Exams

Inequalities questions are a part of the logical reasoning section in the IBPS RRB exam. These questions are designed to evaluate a candidate’s ability to understand and manipulate mathematical relationships and inequalities.

The questions typically involve symbols such as

• > Greater than,
• < Less than,
• ≥ Greater than or Equal to,
• ≤ Less than or Equal to, and
• = Equal to

Candidates need to determine the relationship between different variables based on the given inequalities.

Types of Inequalities Questions

1. Direct Inequalities: In direct inequalities, candidates are provided with a set of statements containing inequalities, and they need to find the correct relationship between the variables. For example:

• Given: A > B, B > C
• Question: What is the relationship between A and C?
• Answer: A > C

2. Coded Inequalities: Coded inequalities involve symbols that represent the standard inequality signs. Candidates need to decode the symbols and solve the inequalities accordingly. For example:

• Given: A @ B means A > B, A # B means A = B, A $ B means A < B
• Question: If P @ Q and Q $ R, what is the relationship between P and R?
• Answer: P > Q > R, so P > R

3. Combined Inequalities: In these questions, multiple inequalities are given, and candidates need to combine them to determine the relationship between two variables. For example:

• Given: A > B, B = C, C < D
• Question: What is the relationship between A and D?
• Answer: A > B = C < D, so the relationship between A and D cannot be determined directly.
