What Are Symbols and Notations?
Symbols and notations are special signs or characters that represent mathematical or logical operations.
Example:
+means addition-means subtraction>means greater than<means less than
In reasoning questions, these symbols may have different meanings, and you must decode them.
Commonly Used Mathematical Symbols with Name
Here are some basic mathematical notation symbols you should know:
+→ Addition-→ Subtraction×→ Multiplication÷→ Division=→ Equal to≠→ Not equal to>→ Greater than<→ Less than≥→ Greater than or equal to≤→ Less than or equal to
👉 These are part of all mathematical symbols commonly used in exams.
Important Concept in Reasoning
In reasoning questions:
- Symbols do not always carry their usual meaning
- You must follow the given conditions in the question
Example:
If+ means -- means ×
Then solve:8 + 4 - 2
👉 Step-by-step:
- Replace symbols:
8 - 4 × 2 - Solve using BODMAS:
4 × 2 = 88 - 8 = 0
✔️ Final Answer = 0
Types of Symbols and Notations Questions
1. Symbol Replacement Questions
