However,
Either (a) or (b) is definitely true; either x > y or x = y, It is just like saying x ≥ y.
Complicated case of “Either or”
Statement: H≥M≤V=K
Find the what is relation between H and K?
Conclusion: (i) H < K
(ii) H ≥ K
In the above statement we cannot find relation between H and K, But there are three relationship possibilities between
p
H and K.
(i) H > K (ii) H = K and (iii) H < K
And all three possibilities are given in the above conclusion.
ou
So, this case are also “Either or”
H ≥ K or H < K
Example of direct inequalities:
Statement Conclusion
Statement (1) A=B ≥ C < D=E ≤ F (i) F > B (ii) B ≥ D
gr
Here, conclusion (i) as well as conclusion (ii) does not follow
Statement (2) P > M > Q, Q > Z > N (i) M ≥ Z (ii) N < P
Solution: P > M > Q > Z > N (i) Not follow (ii) Follow
Statement (3) X > Y, Y ≥ Z, Z = V, V < W (i) Y = V (ii) Y > V
Solution: X > Y ≥ Z = V < W (i) Not follow (ii) Not follow, but either (i) or (ii) follow

Points to Remember:
(1) In chapter of Inequalities, you should give proper attention to sign of inequalities.
(2) Be careful about "either-or" case which has been clearly described in concept part.
(3) In case of coded inequalities, you should read the directions and decode them properly.
(4) Use the tabular form for coded inequlities, which will help you to solve questions in less time.
(5) Relate the conclusion from the given statements carefully.
