Frequently asked questions
What is the format of the Inequality Logic questions on this page?
Each question gives a chain of inequality/equality relationships between letters (like A<B<C=G) and two conclusions, and you decide which conclusion(s) definitely follow from the statement.
What's an example question from this set?
One statement is 'A<B<C=G, G≥K<L, K≥F' with conclusions 'G>F' and 'G=F,' and you must determine which of these (if any) is necessarily true.
What answer options are used for each question?
The five standard options are: only conclusion I is true, only conclusion II is true, either I or II is true, both are true, or neither is true.
What skill does this inequality-chain question type test?
It tests careful chaining of inequality symbols across multiple linked statements to correctly determine what must logically follow, avoiding assumptions not fully supported by the chain.
