Math Problem Statement

answer

Directions: In the following questions, Δ means 'is greater than'; % means 'is lesser than'; = means 'is equal to'; ≠ means 'is not equal to'; + means 'is greater than or equal to'; x means 'is less than or equal to'. Choose the correct alternative: If a × b and b ☐ c, then: c + a, b Δ a, a + c, c ☐ a, None.

Question Breakdown:

  • Symbols:

    • Δ means "is greater than."
    • % means "is less than."
    • = means "is equal to."
    • ≠ means "is not equal to."
      • means "is greater than or equal to."
    • x means "is less than or equal to."

    The condition in the problem is:

    • a×ba \, \times \, b and bcb \, \square \, c, where we need to choose the correct alternative from:
      • c+ac + a
      • bΔab \Delta a
      • a+ca + c
      • cac \square a
      • None

Solution Analysis:

The question involves comparison logic using various symbols, but it's unclear which exact conditions apply to the operations ×\times and \square here based on the question setup.

Would you like me to dive into one of these symbols more deeply or provide additional detailed steps?

Here are some follow-up questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do different mathematical operators like "greater than or equal to" relate to logical reasoning questions?
  2. What is the approach to solve symbol-based reasoning questions?
  3. Can you list out different types of inequality symbols used in logical reasoning?
  4. What happens if two conditions conflict in reasoning-based questions?
  5. Why is understanding symbols crucial for competitive exams?

Tip: Always translate symbolic questions into plain mathematical conditions to avoid confusion during exams.
