Inequality Questions for IBPS RRB Exam, Check Questions in Last Year

Inequality questions form an essential part of the reasoning section in the IBPS RRB exam and are known for being both high-scoring and time-efficient. These questions test a candidate’s understanding of comparative relationships and logical deduction. Whether it’s direct or coded inequalities, the objective remains the same: identify the valid conclusions based on the given statements. In recent years, the IBPS RRB exam has consistently included 4 to 5 inequality questions, making it a reliable scoring area for aspirants. In this article, we’ll look at the types of inequality questions typically asked, review patterns from previous years, and provide examples to help you prepare more effectively.

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.
