Reasoning Inequality Trick - Solve any

Question within 10 seconds
Published on Monday, April 02, 2018

Today I am going to share King Soldiers and Public technique to solve

Inequalities. By using this technique, you can solve any question from
Inequalities within 10 seconds. In every exam, at least 5 questions are asked
from this topic.

Points to remember

King is more powerful than Soldiers

Soldiers are more powerful than Public
Whenever there is a con ict between two Kings, then there will be no 

Case 1. 'King vs King'

Suppose there is a war going on between two kings.Whenever the two kings
face each other means war. In other words, conclusion will be wrong.
Note: Two signs opposite to each other will make the conclusion wrong But
again if the signs are in the same manner that will not make it wrong.
like this
If A > B < C > D then A < C = False , C  > A = False .
But
 If E > F > G > H then E > G = True , F > H = True , E  > H = True.

Statement:  A < D > C < E > B

Conclusions: 
C > B → False 
A < E → False
D > B → False
In simple way ,Whenever these two sign comes in opposite direction the answer

8/14/2018 Reasoning Inequality Trick - Solve any Question within 10 seconds | Bank Exams Today

will be false.

Case 2.  ' Soldier vs Soldier'

Whenever the soldiers face each other means again war(same apply here). In
other words, conclusion will be wrong.

Note: Two signs opposite to each other will make the conclusion wrong But
again if the signs are same then it will be true.
like this
If A ≥ B ≤C then A ≤ C = False , C  ≥ A = False .
But
 If A ≥ B ≥ C then A ≥ C = True , C ≤  A = True .

Example


Statement: B ≥ D ≤ A ≥ F ≤ C
Conclusions :
I. A ≥ C → False
II. B ≤ F → False

8/14/2018 Reasoning Inequality Trick - Solve any Question within 10 seconds | Bank Exams Today

III. D ≥ C → False

Case 3. Sets Priority:

If they all come in order then kings’ priority will be rst, soldier's second and
public at last.

8/14/2018 Reasoning Inequality Trick - Solve any Question within 10 seconds | Bank Exams Today

Statement: P ≥ R > Q = T ≥ S
Conclusions :
 I. P ≥ Q → False
II. P > Q → True
III. Q ≥ S → True

Case 4.

When it occurs to you that the statement of order is opposite just change the
sign into similar opposite direction

Change the sign into similar opposite / corresponding/alternative direction .

If A > B > F > C < D < E
than F < A → True [ ∵ A > B > F =  F < B <  A ]
Example:
Statements  : A>B>F>C; D>E>C
Conclusions:
        I.    C < A → True
        II.   C > A → False

Statements  : R ≥ S ≥ T > U > X ; T < V <W

Conclusions:
        I.   R > X  → True [Note: Apply Case 3 here ]
        II.  X < R → True [Note: Apply Case 3 & 4 here ]

Statements  : K ≤ L ≤ M = N ; P ≥ O ≥N
Conclusions:
        K ≤  L ≤ M = N ≤ O ≤ P

   III.  K ≤ M   →  True
 IV K < P    →  False
   V K = P    →  False
Statement IV & V Apply Either Or

Case 5. Protocols

There are some rules on the battlefield which is that king only fights with king and
soldier only fight with a soldier.
So Whenever you find two conclusions which are false Just check for these two
symbols.In Most of the cases where two conclusions are false and these two
similar signs are not there respectively than that statement, you can call it as Either Or
but should check there variable it should same.

#Case Either Or :

Note : First thing you need to check whether in your conclusion any 2 or more
conclusions are wrong
then if it is there then check whether the two variables are same If It happens then
write it as 'Either or' but after checking their symbols.


Rules:
1. Both conclusions should False
2. Should have Same Predicate or Variable

K≤L≤M=N≤O≤P
Implies IV. K ≤ P → True
which implies EITHER K < P or K = P
Therefore
I. K < P → False
II. K = P → False
are wrong it must have been
I. K < P → True
II. K = P → True

Curious > Vijay@BankExamsToday • 3 years ago

You have edited the content, but it is still wrong. Please do not edit
anything for my convenience rather edit it if you find it wrong. These are
logical things and if one learns a wrong logic, it would not be possible for
him/her to solve these questions ever.
Let us take the above case as example.
K≤L≤M=N≤O≤P
I. K < O → False
II. K = N → False
III. K ≤ M → True
IV K ≤ P → True
V P ≥ K → True
If we break up the above inequalities we get the following
K < L OR K = L
and same is the case for all other inequalities because they are either/or
inequalities
Therefore this is possible K = L = M = N
which implies K = N, which has been given as false by Statement II.
N < O OR N = O 
K = N as just proved above

Therefore K < O OR K = O
Thus K < O is true, which is given false by statement I.

Vijay@BankExamsToday > Curious • 3 years ago

We rather understand through this

You are saying this

QK≤L≤M=N≤O≤P
Now m just saying let this:
Let K=2,L=3,M=4,N=4,O=5,P=6
Now tell me K< L or K = L

2<3 & 2=3

Because it is not possible

So it is a Either Or case
that what you are saying...
I have edited .
Makes the statement right

Curious > Vijay@BankExamsToday • 3 years ago

Going by your logic can you just tell me how is
K < O = FALSE.
If the above statement is correct, then the only possibility of
K = O = True remains.
Because only either of the two conditions must be true.

You Forget this logic that i hav replied with resp. to ur query. i

which i have changed then.If you have any query relating the
above given post then plz ask otherwise i know the logic i hav tries
to understand your query was not enough or capable.

Curious > Vijay@BankExamsToday • 3 years ago

I am not questioning your logic, I am just asking that going by your
example of [K=2,L=3,M=4,N=4,O=5,P=6] isn't
K < O=TRUE. As 2 < 5 is a fact that can not be denied.
