IPMAT Inequalities Questions 2026

Inequalities are an important part of the IPMAT Quant section. These questions test how well you understand how to solve and work with inequalities, such as greater than ( > ), less than ( < ), greater than or equal to ( ≥ ), and less than or equal to ( ≤ ).

Inequality questions may be simple to solve or part of word problems. If you understand the basic rules and know how to handle inequalities, these questions will be easier for you.

In this post, you’ll find key rules, practice questions with answers, and extra questions to solve on your own. You'll also learn about common mistakes and tips to save time in the exam.

Important Rules for IPMAT Inequalities Questions

You only need a few simple rules to solve most inequalities in IPMAT 2026. These rules help you compare numbers and solve equations that include inequalities.

You can download the full rules PDF, but here are the most important ones:

Concept

Rule

Solving Inequalities (One Variable)

If x+3>5x + 3 > 5x+3>5, subtract 3 from both sides: x>2x > 2x>2

Multiplying or Dividing by a Negative

If you multiply or divide by a negative number, flip the inequality sign. Example: If −2x<6-2x < 6−2x<6, then x>−3x > -3x>−3.

Addition/Subtraction Method

You can add or subtract the same number from both sides of the inequality without changing the direction of the inequality.

Graphing Inequalities

Use open circles for <<< and >>>, and closed circles for ≤\leq≤ and ≥\geq≥.

Compound Inequalities

Combine two inequalities, like 3<x≤53 < x \leq 53<x≤5, to represent a range of values.

These rules help you solve basic inequalities and word problems that involve comparing numbers.

Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid in IPMAT Inequalities Questions

  1. Forgetting to flip the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number: Always remember to flip the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number.
  2. Not checking your answer: After solving, check if the values you found satisfy the inequality.
  3. Ignoring compound inequalities: When you have more than one inequality, solve them carefully to find the range of possible values.
  4. Not reading the inequality correctly: Be sure to understand if the inequality uses >>>, <<<, ≥\geq≥, or ≤\leq≤, as this affects the solution.
  5. Not graphing the solution properly: When graphing your solution, use open or closed circles based on whether the inequality includes or excludes the number.
