Solutions (1 to 5)

1) Answer (b)

Substituting the symbols based on the directions we get
H > T , T < F , F = E , E ≤ V
= H > T < F = E ≤ V
Now the options are
V ≥ F , E > T , H > V , T < V
Following the rules for coded inequalities in the concept section we find that I, II, IV are correct
So option B is right

2) Answer (e)

From the question D < R ≤ K > F ≥ J
These conclusions given are J < R , J < K , R < F , K > D
As per the rules given in the coded inequalities of the banking concept , II: J < K , IV: K > D are correct.
But there is no option as such .
Hence d : None of these is the right choice.

3) Answer (e)

From the question N = B ≥ W < H ≤ M
The conclusions given are M > W , H > N , W = N , W < N
As per the rules given in the coded inequalities section of Banking Concepts, options I : M > W is correct and III : W = N , IV : W < N are partially correct.
So Option E : Only either  III or IV and I are true is correct

4) Answer (a)

From the statements given, R ≤ D ≥ J < M > K
The conclusions given are K < J ,D > M , R < M , D > K
We know that both J and K are lesser than M, but we don’t know whether J > K or not. Hence, the first conclusion is wrong.
Similarly, we know that both M and D are greater than, but we don’t know which of the two M and D is greater.
We know that D is greater than R, but as we don’t know whether D is greater or lesser than M, we don’t know whether M is greater than R or not.
In the same way, the relationship between M and K is known, but as the relationship between M and D is not known, we can’t comment about the relationship between D and K
Hence, all the conclusions are wrong.

5) Answer (e)

From the question M ≥ K > N ≤ R < W
The conclusions given are W > K , M ≥ R , K < W , M > N
We know that both W and K are greater than N, but the relationship between the two of them is not known. Hence, the first conclusion is wrong.
Similarly, M and R are greater than N, but the relationship between the two of them is not known.
Similarly, K and W are greater than N, but the relationship between the two of them is not known.
M is greater than or equal to K which is in turn greater than N, hence M > N and the fourth conclusion is correct.
So, of the four options, none of them is correct.

Solution (6 to 7)

6) Answer (b)

Substituting the symbols based on the directions we get
H > T , T < F , F = E , E ≤ V
= H > T < F = E ≤ V
Now the options are
V ≥ F , E > T , H > V , T < V
Following the rules for coded inequalities in the concept section we find that I, II, IV are correct
So option B is right

7) Answer (e)

From the question D < R ≤ K > F ≥ J
Thes conclusions given are J < R , J < K , R < F , K > D
As per the rules given in the coded inequalities of the banking concept , II: J < K , IV: K > D are correct.
But there is no option as such .
Hence d : None of these is the right choice.

8) Answer (e)

From the question N = B ≥ W < H ≤ M
The conclusions given are M > W , H > N , W = N , W < N
As per the rules given in the coded inequalities section of Banking Concepts, options I : M > W is correct and III : W = N , IV : W < N are partially correct.
So Option E : Only either  III or IV and I are true is correct

9) Answer (a)

From the statements given, R ≤ D ≥ J < M > K
The conclusions given are K < J ,D > M , R < M , D > K
We know that both J and K are lesser than M, but we don’t know whether J > K or not. Hence, the first conclusion is wrong.
Similarly, we know that both M and D are greater than, but we don’t know which of the two M and D is greater.
We know that D is greater than R, but as we don’t know whether D is greater or lesser than M, we don’t know whether M is greater than R or not.
In the same way, the relationship between M and K is known, but as the relationship between M and D is not known, we can’t comment about the relationship between D and K
Hence, all the conclusions are wrong.

10) Answer (e)

From the question M ≥ K > N ≤ R < W
The conclusions given are W > K , M ≥ R , K < W , M > N
We know that both W and K are greater than N, but the relationship between the two of them is not known. Hence, the first conclusion is wrong.
Similarly, M and R are greater than N, but the relationship between the two of them is not known.
Similarly, K and W are greater than N, but the relationship between the two of them is not known.
M is greater than or equal to K which is in turn greater than N, hence M > N and the fourth conclusion is correct.
So, of the four options, none of them is correct.
