Theory
Coded inequalities use codes to express inequalities in the form of statements. Generally a couple of conclusions are also included in the question and the candidate is supposed to select which of the two conclusions logically follows the statements. It’s important to exercise caution when it comes to decoding the inequalities as an error could lead to getting all the five questions wrong.

Tips
An important trick in solving coded inequalities is to try and get one inequality with all the variables included in the statement. Using that inequality, the validity of the conclusions can be verified.

Question for Cheatsheet: Inequalities & Coded Inequalities
Try yourself:
In Which of the following expressions does the expression „Z≥D‟ to definitely hold true?
Explanation
Let's analyze each of the options one by one to find in which expression "Z ≥ D" definitely holds true.
1. K≥Z≤R=P<S≤D
- Here, Z≤R, meaning Z is less than or equal to R, but there is no direct relation between Z and D. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Z≥D.
2. U≥D≥M=F≤A≥Z
- In this case, U≥D, and A≥Z, but there is no direct relation between Z and D. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Z≥D.
3. Z≥C>Q≥B=N≥D
- Here, Z≥C and C>Q≥B=N≥D, meaning Z is greater than or equal to C, and C is greater than Q, which is greater than or equal to D. Hence, we can conclude that Z≥D.
4. G≥Z=A<B≤S≤D
- In this expression, Z=A, but there is no direct relation between Z and D. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Z≥D.
5. D≥E=G≥W=Y≥Z
- Here, D≥E, and Y≥Z, but there is no direct relation between Z and D. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Z≥D.

Question for Cheatsheet: Inequalities & Coded Inequalities
Try yourself:
Which of the following expressions is true if the expression P<T≤B>S>M≥A is definitely true?
Explanation
Let's analyze the given expression P<T≤B>S>M≥A
- P < T means P is less than T.
- T ≤ B means T is less than or equal to B.
- B>S means B is greater than S.
- S>M means S is greater than M.
- M≥A means M is greater than or equal to A.
Now let's analyze the options:

Answer: 4
Solution: The correct and true expression based on the given relationship is A<B
