The questions of Inequality chapters are considered as important questions in the Logical Reasoning section of various Bank PO, Clerk, SSC, and Railways exams. In this article, we will discuss and solve the Advanced-level Inequality questions in two parts level-3 and Previous years Questions; and for Basic-level Inequality Questions and Answer visit our Basic-level Inequality Chapter.

Level 3:

Q1. Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that both ‘U ≤ P’ as well as ‘P ≥ D’ definitely holds true?  

P _ R _ D _ U _ E

A) ≥, ≥, ≤,≤

B) >, >, ≥, <

C) >, ≥, <, = 

D) ≥, =, ≥,<

E) None of the above

Ans: D

Solution:

A) P ≥ R ≥ D ≤ U ≤ E; Here ‘U ≤ P’ is false.

B) P > R > D ≥ U < E; Here ‘U ≤ P’ is false

C) P > R ≥ D < U = E; Here ‘U ≤ P’ is false

D) P ≥ R = D ≥ U < E; Here ‘U ≤ P’ and ‘P ≥ D’ definitely holds true.

Q2. Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that both ‘G≤R’ as well as ‘A≥C’ definitely holds true?  

R _ X _ C _ G _ A

A) >, ≥, <, =

B) >, >, ≥, <

C) ≥, ≥, =, ≤

B) R > X > C ≥ G < A; Here, ‘G≤R’ is false.

C) R ≥ X ≥ C = G ≤ A; Here, ‘G≤R’ as well as ‘A≥C’ definitely holds true.

D) R ≥ X = C = G < A; Here, ‘G≤R’ is true, but ‘A≥C’ is false.
