CHANDIGARH CIRCLE
PUBLIC KING SOLDIER
 POINTS TO REMEMBER
• King is more powerful than Soldiers
• Soldiers are more powerful than Public
• Whenever there is a conflict between two
Kings, then there will be no conclusion
• When there is a conflict between two soldiers,
then there will be no conclusion
Let King means < or >
Soldier means ≥ or ≤
Public means =
Case 1. 'King vs King'
PRIORITY
• If in a statement both ≥ and > are present
>’
continuously, then it is taken as ‘
• A≥B>C, then A>C
• Similarly, A≤B<C then A<C
 > <
• If in a statement both and are used in
opposite directions then there is no relation
between the alphabets
• A>B<C, then there is no relation between A
and C
• Same is true for the A≥B≤C; A≤B≥C; A<B>C =>
no relation
• If minimum 2-conclusions (in some questions
more than 2 conclusions will be given) in a
question are False and both the conclusion
consists of the same alphabets, then the
answer will be ‘either Conclusion I or II is true’
• Ex. I. A>B is false
• II. B≥A is false
• Then ANSWER: either Conclusion I or II is True
• If minimum 2-conclusions are false and both
the conclusions consists of different
alphabets, then the answer will be
‘neither Conclusion I or II is true’
S.No Statement Conclusion
1 P>Q>R
P>Q≥R
P≥Q>R P>R
P=Q>R
P>Q=R

2 P<Q<R
P<Q≤R
P≤Q<R P<R
P=Q<R
P<Q=R
S.No Statement Conclusion
3 P≥Q≥R
P=Q≥R P>R or P=R
P≥Q=R

4 P≤Q≤R P<R or P=R

P=Q≤R
P≤Q=R
S.No Statement Conclusion
5 P<Q>R
P≤Q>R No conclusion
P<Q≥R can be inferred
P>Q<R
P>Q≤R
P≥Q<R
 EXAMPLE 1
• Statements: a) A > B b) B > C
• Conclusions: a) A > C b) C > A
• Statements: a) A > B b) B > C
• Conclusions: a) A > C b) C > A

• Solution: On combining both the statements,

we get: A > B > C
• So, we can easily say that the conclusion a)
follows i.e. A > C
 EXAMPLE 2
• Statement: A > B > C < D ≥ E
• Conclusion: a) A > D
• b) D > B
• Statement: A > B > C < D ≥ E
• Conclusion: a) A > D
• b) D > B

• Solution: Here, nothing can be concluded

because there is no definite relation between
A & D and D & B. we cannot say that which
one is greater, equal or lesser.
 EXAMPLE 3
• Statement: P < Q ≤ R < S > T
• Conclusions: a) T < R
• b) S > P
• c) R > T
• d) Q < S
 EXAMPLE 4
• Statements: a) M ≤ N≤ O< P
• b) K = L ≥ O > C
• Conclusion: a) M < O
• b) P ≥ M
• c) P ≥ K
• d) M ≥ D
• e) C = P
• f) O ≥ M
 EXAMPLE 5
• Statements: a) A > B = C ≥ D
• b) P ≥ Q = R ≥ D
• Conclusions: a) C = P
• b) A ≥ Q
• c) A < Q
 EXAMPLE 6
• In the following question, the symbols (*, $, #, % and @)
are used with the following meanings as illustrated below:
• ‘X%Y’ means ‘X’ is greater than ‘Y’.
• ‘X#Y’ means ‘X’ is smaller than ‘Y’.
• ‘X$Y’ means ‘X’ is either greater than or equal ‘Y’.
• ‘X*Y’ means ‘X’ is either smaller than or equal to ‘Y’.
• ‘X@Y’ means ‘X’ is equal to ‘Y’.

• A) If only conclusion I is true.

• B) If only conclusion II is true.
• C) If either conclusion I or II is true.
• D) If neither conclusion I nor II is true.
• E) If both conclusions I and II are true
• Statement: P * Q, Q#R, R*S
• Conclusions:
• I. P # S
• II. Q*S
