SBI Clerk Prelims Full Test 1

1. Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it or not. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (5).Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

Although the shooting (A)/ has been stopped for now (B)/ but the destruction left (C)/ behind is enormous.(D)/ No error

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. No error

Solution

The correct answer is option 3) i.e. C.

KEY POINTS

Option 3 is incorrect because of the wrong usage of ‘but’ in Part C of the sentence.
Although…yet’ is correlative conjunction and is used in pairs.
It is used to refer to two contrasting actions of the subject.
‘Although…yet’ follows this rule if it is used in a sentence :–
- Although + subject + verb + 1st action + yet + subject + verb + 2nd action.
It is important to remember that ‘although’ is always followed by ‘yet’ and not ‘instead’/ ‘but’/ ‘else’ etc. ‘Yet’ cannot be replaced by any other word.
Let’s see an example-
- Although he had a kidney transplant operation scheduled next month, yet he came to enjoy the success party of his friend’s latest business venture.
- Although he had a kidney transplant operation scheduled next month, but he came to enjoy the success party of his friend’s latest business venture.
Hence, ‘but’ should be replaced by ‘yet’ to make the sentence correct.

Correct sentence is:“Although the shooting has been stopped for now yet the destruction left behind is enormous.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Both ‘although’ and ‘though’ follow the same rule and are followed by ‘yet’ and no other word.
- For example- Though he abandoned me in the time of my need, yet I will stand by him during his emergency.
Co-relative conjunctions are conjunctions that are used in pairs.
- For example- ‘either-or’, ‘neither-nor’, ‘both-and’, ‘whether-or’, ‘not only-but also’, etc.

2. Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it or not. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (5).Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

We don’t need our (A)/ computers to be infinitely (B)/ fast, just a whole lot (C)/ faster when they are today.(D)/ No error.

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. No error

Solution

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. D.

KEY POINTS

Option 4 is incorrect because of the wrong usage of the subordinating conjunction ‘when’ in Part D of the sentence.
The subordinating conjunction ‘when’ is used to refer to the time of occurrence of any event and the subordinating conjunction ‘than’ is used to suggest a comparison between two things.
Let’s see a few examples-
- He is much sincere in his studies than his elder brother.
- He is much sincere in his studies when his elder brother.
Hence, ‘when’ should be replaced by ‘than’ to make the sentence correct.

Correct sentence:“We don’t need our computers to be infinitely fast, just a whole lot faster than they are today.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A subordinating conjunction connects a dependant clause with an independent clause.
For example- ‘after’, ‘because’, ‘when’, ‘unless’, ‘because’, ‘as’, ‘although’, ‘than’, etc.
- I used to wake up at 5 A.M when I was in boarding school.
- I used to wake up at 5 A.M than I was in boarding school.

3. Read the following sentence and determine whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the sentence is error-free, select ‘No error’ as your answer.

They feared to (A)/ spare the farmer (B)/ lest he would report (C)/ the matter to the king.(D)/ No error

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. No error

Solution

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. C.

KEY POINTS

Option 3 is incorrect because of the wrong usage of ‘would’ in Part C of the sentence.
The conjunction ‘lest’ is always followed by ‘should’ and carries a negative sense.
‘Lest…should’ is used to give caution or warnings and further hints at the outcome if the warning/ caution is not followed.
Let’s see an example-
- Slowly drive lest you should hit the truck.
- Slowly drive lest you would hit the truck.
Hence, ‘would’ should be replaced by ‘should’ to make the sentence correct.

Correct sentence: ” They feared to spare him lest he should report the matter to the king. ”

MISTAKE POINT

‘Lest…should’ itself carries a negative meaning, and no other negative words as in ‘not’, ‘never’, ‘not’ need to be used.
For example-
- Use the knife properly lest you should cut your fingers.
- Use the knife properly lest you should not cut your fingers.

4. Read the following sentence and determine whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the sentence is error-free, select ‘No error’ as your answer.

The committee were made (A)/ up of twenty-six individuals, (B)/ though illness and death (C)/ soon reduced their numbers.(D)/ No error

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. No error

Solution

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A – the error lies in this part only.

Key Points

The error lies in the wrong usage of the verb ‘were’ in Part A.
‘Were’ should be replaced by ‘was’ because a singular verb is used after a collective noun when the group refers to one entire unit.
Let’s see a few examples-
- The committee has raised issues on a few clauses of the report submitted by the players.
- The committee have raised issues on a few clauses of the report submitted by the players.
- The team has played well in the last match.
- The team have played well in the last match.
Therefore, the singular verb ‘was’ should be used instead of the plural verb ‘were’ to make the sentence correct.

Correct sentence is: “The committee was made up of twenty-six individuals, though illness and death soon reduced their numbers.”

ADDITIONAL INFORM

A plural verb is used with a collective noun when the individuals of the collection are mentioned.
For example-
- The committee have split on their opinions of giving grants to the Peace Foundation.

A. Only A

B. Only B

C. Both A and C

- In sentence A, ‘Illicit‘ is used accurately to refer to drugs that are illegal or forbidden by law.
- In sentence B, ‘Illicit‘ is used incorrectly, as beaches, generally, cannot be characterized as illicit.
- In sentence C, ‘Illicit‘ is correctly used concerning practices that are forbidden or prohibited by rules or law.

A. Only A

B. Both A and C

C. Only B

Solution

The correct answer is ‘Both B and C.’

Key Points

The word ‘Plummet‘ as a verb means to decrease rapidly in value or amount, or to fall or drop straight down at high speed.
- In sentence A, the word ‘Plummet‘ is incorrectly used. ‘Plummet’ doesn’t fit the context of someone tossing a book onto a bed.
- In sentence B, ‘Plummet‘ is correctly used to describe the expectation of the currency’s rapid drop in value.
- In sentence C, ‘Plummet‘ has also been appropriately used to depict a potential dangerous fall from a cliff.

Hence, the only possible answer is option 4.

7. Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:

When the two brothers, Dukhiram Rui and Chidam Rui set out in the morning with axes in their hands to work as day laborers, their two wives were hurling insults and abuses _______ each other. But like other natural noises, the neighbors had become used to this shouting. As soon as they heard them, they would say to one another, “There they go again”. There was nothing unexpected about their quarreling every day; this was just their normal undeviating behavior. Just as nobody questions the rising of the sun in the east, nobody in the neighborhood was curious about why the two sisters-in-law started quarreling in the morning each day. There is no doubt that the discord between the two wives affected the two husbands much more than it did their neighbors, but even the two brothers did not consider it to be a serious problem. The two brothers considered domestic life as a long journey on a bullock cart, and the ceaseless creaking noises and jerking movements of springless wheels were only a natural, necessary part of this journey. In fact, on days when their home was quiet and a heavy silence hung over it, they were afraid that some unnatural, unforeseen danger was about to happen – they did not know what to expect. On the day when our story begins, the two brothers returned home just before evening, tired from their labors. The house was utterly still.

The heat outside was stifling. In the evening there was a slight shower and heavy clouds still hung overhead; there was not a breath of wind in the air. The jungle around the house and the weeds had grown luxuriantly during the monsoon, and the thick, heavy smell of rotting vegetation from the water-logged jute fields stood like motionless walls around the house. A frog was croaking from the swamp behind the cowshed and the still evening sky was full of the sounds of crickets. In the distance, the Padma, swollen with monsoon rains and overhung with new clouds, looked ominous. Nearby, the paddy fields were already flooded and the water lapped close to human habitations. The force of the sweeping waters had uprooted a few mangoes and jackfruit trees whose roots clawed the empty air like fingers desperately outspread to clutch something firm.

Question:

What did the two brothers consider domestic life?

A. The smooth movements of springless wheels.

B. A burden.

C. Some unnatural or unforeseen danger.

D. A serious problem.

E. A long journey on a bullock cart.

Solution

The correct answer is ‘A long journey on a bullock cart.‘

15. A sentence/a part of the sentence is underlined. Five alternatives are given to the underlined part which will improve the meaning of the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, click the option corresponding to “No improvement.”

Arnab is the best student in a class.

A. of the

B. in the

C. in

D. No improvement

E. None of the above

Solution

The correct answer is option 2), i.e. in the.

Explanation:
Reading the above sentence we find that:

The article ‘a‘ is used and it is incorrect.
The sentence is about the best student in a certain/specific class.
Therefore, the definite article ‘the‘ should be used here instead of ‘a‘.

Hence, option 2) is the answer.

Important Points

‘Of‘ expresses possession or belonging.
- Example: He is the head of the department.
‘At‘ is used to express the position of something or the time when an event takes place.
- Example: She will stay at my house.

The correct sentence would be: “Arnab is the best student in the class.”

16. In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select “No improvement”.

Several parts of the Kashmir valley received light rain as most of the region awaits of the season’s first snow.

A. awaits for

B. awaits

C. waits

D. No improvement

E. None of the above

Solution

The correct answer is Option 2) i.e. awaits.

Let’s understand the difference between the two verbs given below:

Wait- stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or event.
Await- wait for (an event).
The verb ‘await’ is never followed by ‘for’ as it makes the phrase superfluous.
For example:
- Theresa was awaiting for her lover.
- Theresa was awaiting her lover.
Of the given options, the 2nd option i.e ‘awaits’ is the most appropriate choice.
Though we may use ‘for’ with the verb ‘wait’ as it is grammatically correct.

Correct sentence– “Several parts of the Kashmir valley received light rain as most of the region awaits the season’s first snow.”

Mistake point

‘wait for’ looks like the correct answer but we need a singular verb here as ‘region’ is a singular noun.

17. In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select “No improvement”.

It is not only what we do, but what we do not, for which we are accountable.

A. but if

B. but also

C. but too

D. but of

E. No improvement

Solution

The correct answer is Option 2) i.e. but also.

There are some conjunctions which are used in pair:

Either/neither…or/nor, not only…but also, lest…should, whether…or, both…and, etc.
For example:
- Both rugby as well as football are popular in France.
- Both rugby and football are popular in France.
Of the given options, the 2nd option i.e. ‘but also’ is the most appropriate choice.

Correct sentence– “It is not only what we do, but also what we do not, for which we are accountable.”

18. In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select “No improvement”.

He was still afraid of staying away, lest anyone could suspect him.

A. should

B. shall

C. will

D. would

E. No improvement

Solution

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

The primary issue in the sentence is the use of “could” instead of “should” following the word “lest.”
In English grammar, “lest” is followed by “should” to express a negative purpose or fear.
The correct phrase should be “lest anyone should suspect him,” ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
Thus, the error is located in the use of the modal verb after “lest.”

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Correct Sentence: “He was still afraid of staying away, lest anyone should suspect him.”

Additional Information

Use of “lest”: “Lest” is commonly used to indicate fear or apprehension that something undesirable might happen.
Grammatical Rule: According to the traditional rule, “lest” is followed by “should.” For example, “He ran quickly lest he should be late.”
Modern Usage: While “lest” may sometimes directly pair with a base form verb in modern informal contexts, using “should” maintains grammatical precision.
No improvement: This would be selected if no grammatical error existed in the original sentence, but there is a mistake with the modal verb.

The series features comic fights between an iconic pair of adversaries, a house cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry). The plots of each short usually centre on Tom and Jerry’s ___(3)___ attempts to have the best of each other and the mayhem and destruction that follows. Despite Tom’s clever strategies (whether they work or not), determined and energetic mindset, large size, and exceptional overall intelligence, he rarely ___(4)___ in getting the best of Jerry, mainly because of Jerry’s cunning abilities, luck, and his lack of tendencies in being a bit too reckless. However, on several occasions, they have displayed genuine friendship and concern for each other’s well-being. At other times, the pair set aside their rivalry to pursue a common goal, such as when a baby escapes the watch of a negligent babysitter, causing Tom and Jerry to pursue the baby and keep it away from danger, in the shorts Busy Buddies and Tot Watchers respectively. Despite their endless attacks on one another, they have saved each other’s lives every time they were truly in danger, except in The Two Mouseketeers, which features an ____(5)____ morbid ending.

Question:

Which of these should be filled at (1) as per the context of the passage?

A. franchise

B. frivolous

C. superficial

D. emotional

Solution

The correct answer is ‘franchise‘.

Key Points

The passage describes Tom and Jerry as a long-running collection of media works.
The correct term should capture the idea of various kinds of related media content.
“Franchise” (मताधिकार) is an appropriate term because it denotes a series or a related collection of works, which aligns with the context.
Other options like (“frivolous“, “superficial“, “emotional“, “poignant“) do not fit this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 1‘.

The series features comic fights between an iconic pair of adversaries, a house cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry).

Despite their endless attacks on one another, they have saved each other’s lives every time they were truly in danger, except in The Two Mouseketeers, which features an ____(5)____ morbid ending.

Additional Information

Frivolous (फुर्सत): “Frivolous” means not having any serious purpose or value, which does not fit the context.
Superficial (सतही): “Superficial” means existing or occurring at or on the surface, which is unrelated to the description of a media series.
Emotional (भावात्मक): “Emotional” relates to feelings, which is not apt for describing the nature of the media enterprise.
Poignant (मार्मिक): “Poignant” means evoking a keen sense of sadness or regret, which is not suitable for the context here.

Solution

The correct answer is ‘numerous‘.

Key Points

The passage discusses the many attempts made by Tom and Jerry to outdo each other.
The correct term should convey the idea of the frequency and variety of their attempts.
“Numerous” (अनेक) fits well as it indicates a large number of attempts, which aligns with the context of the passage.
Other options like (“haughty“, “emolument“, “affable“, “utility“) do not fit this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 2‘.

The series features comic fights between an iconic pair of adversaries, a house cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry).

Additional Information

Haughty (अभिमानी): “Haughty” means arrogantly superior and disdainful, which does not fit the context of attempts made by Tom and Jerry.
Emolument (वेतन): “Emolument” means a salary or fee, which is irrelevant in the context of the passage.
Affable (मिलनसार): “Affable” means friendly and good-natured, which does not describe the frequent attempts between rivals.
Utility (उपयोगिता): “Utility” means the state of being useful, which does not convey the sense of numerous attempts.

A. flounder

B. precedes

C. succeeds

D. preface

E. thresh

Solution

The correct answer is ‘succeeds‘.

Key Points

The passage discusses how Tom rarely achieves his goal despite his many efforts and strategies.
The correct term should convey the idea of success or failure.
“Succeeds” (सफल होना) fits well as it directly addresses whether Tom accomplishes his aim of outwitting Jerry.
Other options like (“flounder“, “precedes“, “preface“, “thresh“) do not fit this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 3‘.

Complete Passage: Tom and Jerry is an American animated media franchise and series of comedy short films created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

Despite their endless attacks on one another, they have saved each other’s lives every time they were truly in danger, except in The Two Mouseketeers, which features an ___(5)___ morbid ending.

Additional Information

Flounder (तड़पना/असफल होना): “Flounder” means to struggle or stagger helplessly, which does not fit as well because the passage states Tom “rarely” achieves his goal, implying that he occasionally does succeed.
Precedes (पूर्ववर्ती होना): “Precedes” means to come before something in time, which is unrelated to success or failure.
Preface (भूमिका): “Preface” means an introduction to a book or speech, which is not relevant in this context.
Thresh (पिटाई करना या जोर देना): “Thresh” typically relates to separating grain from a plant or is used metaphorically to talk about struggling or pushing through, which is not fitting here.

23. Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and then answer the following questions that follow:

Question:

Which of these should be filled at (5) as per the context of the passage?

A. relevant

B. distinctive

C. characteristic

D. symptomatic

E. uncharacteristically

Solution

The correct answer is ‘uncharacteristically‘.

Key Points

The passage describes how Tom and Jerry typically save each other when in danger, except for the case mentioned in “The Two Mouseketeers.”
The correct term should convey that the ending of this episode is unusual or not typical of their usual behaviour.
“Uncharacteristically” (अस्वाभाविक रूप से) fits well as it indicates that the morbid ending is out of character for the series.
Other options like (“relevant“, “distinctive“, “characteristic“, “symptomatic“) do not fit the context of describing the ending as unusual.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 5‘.

Additional Information

Relevant (संबंधित): “Relevant” means closely connected to the topic, which is irrelevant in conveying the unusual nature of the ending.
Distinctive (विशिष्ट): “Distinctive” means characteristic or typical, which does not fit the context of describing an unusual event.
Characteristic (विशेष): “Characteristic” means typical of a particular person, place, or thing, which does not indicate the unusual nature of the ending.
Symptomatic (लक्षणात्मक): “Symptomatic” means serving as a symptom or sign, which does not fit the context of describing an unusual or unprecedented event.

31. Ratio of efficiency of A and B is 3:2. B complete a work in 18 days. Find the in how many days A can complete the work?

A. 24

B. 26

C. 22

D. 12

E. 14

Solution

Given:

Efficiency A : B = 3 : 2

B can complete work in 18 days

Formula used:

Work = Efficiency × Time

Since work is same, A’s time = (B’s efficiency / A’s efficiency) × B’s time

Calculations:

⇒ A’s time = (2 / 3) × 18 = 12 days

∴ A can complete the work in 12 days.

32. A train crosses a bridge and a platform of length 635 m and 725 m in 42 sec and 45 sec respectively. Find the speed of the train?

A. 28 m/s

B. 25 m/s

C. 30 m/s

D. 24 m/s

E. None of the above

Solution

Let the length of the train is x meters and the speed of the train is y m/s.

Formula:

Time = Total distance to be covered / Speed

Concept:

When the train crosses the bridge, it covers a distance equal to the sum of the length of the train and the length of the bridge, which is x + 635 meters.

Given that the time taken to cover this distance is 42 seconds.

Calculation:

Time = Total distance to be covered / Speed

42 = (x+635) / y

⇒ x = 42y – 635

Concept:

Similarly, when the train crosses the platform, it covers a distance equal to the sum of the length of the train and the length of the platform, which is x + 725 meters.

Given that the time taken to cover this distance is 45 seconds.

Calculation:

Time = Total distance to be covered / Speed

45 = (x+725) / y

⇒ x = 45y – 725

From both equations, we get:

42y – 635 = 45y – 725

⇒ 42y – 45y = -725 + 635

⇒ -3y = -90

⇒ y = 30

Therefore, the speed of the train is 30 m/s.

33. The investment made by A and B are in the ratio 5 : 7. If 20% of total profit is donated and A gets Rs. 4500 as his share of profit, then what is the amount of total profit?

A. Rs. 10800

B. Rs. 12000

C. Rs. 13500

D. Rs. 14500

E. None of these.

Solution

Given:

Investment ratio of A and B is 5 : 7

Out of total profit 20% is donated

A’s share of profit is Rs. 4500 after donation

Calculation:

Let total profit be 100%

20% is donated

after donation profit is 80% for distribution

profits are distributed in the ratio of 5 : 7

A gets Rs. 4500 from profits which is equal ro 5 units

⇒ (4500/5) × 12

⇒ Rs. 10800

10800 Rs. is equal to 80% of profits

⇒ (10800/80) × 100

⇒ Rs. 13500

∴ The total profit is 13500 Rs.

Alternate Method

let total profit be 60 units

20% donation is 12 units

after donation profit for distribution is 48 units

48 units distributed in the ratio if 5 : 7

now A get 20 units and B gets 28 units of profit

20 units is equal to Rs. 4500

Total profit 60 units is

⇒ (4500/20) × 60

⇒ Rs. 13500

∴ The total profit is Rs. 13500.

A. 90

B. 100

C. 110

D. 210

E. None of the above

Solution

Given:

Quantity of the alloy = 240 gram

Copper : Zinc = 3 : 5

Calculation:

∴ Quantity of Copper = 3/8 × 240 = 90 gram

∴ Quantity of Zinc = 5/8 × 240 = 150 gram

As per the question, new ratio = 4 : 3

⇒ (90 + x)/150 = 4/3

⇒ 270 + 3x = 150 × 4

⇒ 270 + 3x = 600

⇒ 3x = 600 – 270 = 330

⇒ x = 110 gram

∴ The quantity of Copper to be added is 110 gram.

Alternate Method

⇒ Here, we are only changing the quantity of copper and not if zinc.

So, to keep the zinc quantity equal, take L.C.M. (5, 3) = 15

⇒ New ratio of Copper to zinc before adding copper = 3 : 5 = 9 : 15

⇒ New Ratio of zinc to copper after adding copper = 4 : 3 = 20 : 15

Let, the quantity of copper and zinc be 9x and 15x respectively before adding copper.

⇒ 9x + 15x = 24x = 240 (Given)

⇒ x = 10

Quantity of copper = 9x = 90 grams

New quantities of copper and zinc after adding copper will be 20x and 15x respectively.

⇒ Copper in a new mixture = 20x = 20 × 10 = 200 grams

⇒ Quantity of copper to be added = 200 – 90 = 110 grams

∴ The quantity of Copper to be added is 110 gram.

50. After allowing a discount of 40% on the marked price, a shopkeeper gains a profit of 20%. Find the cost price of the article whose marked price is Rs. 21240.

A. Rs.10,640

B. Rs.10,700

C. Rs.10,620

D. Rs.10,680

E. None of these

Solution

Shortcut TrickGiven:

Marked price (MP) = Rs. 21240

Profit = 20% = 1/5

Discount = 40% = 2/5

Calculation:

By Using Ratio Method

Multiplying the ratios of SP : MP to make the ratios same of SP

Here, M.P. = 10x

⇒ 10x = 21240

⇒ x = 2124

Therefore, C.P. = 5x

⇒ 5x = 5 × 2124 = 10,620

∴ The Cost Price of the article is Rs.10,620.

Alternate MethodGiven:

Marked price (MP) = Rs. 21240

Profit = 20% = 1/5

Discount = 40% = 2/5

Formula Used:

Selling Price = (100 – D)% of MP

S.P. = C.P. [1 + (Profit/100)]

M.P./C.P. = (100 + P)/(100 – D)

Calculation:

According to the question,

M.P./C.P. = (100 + P)/(100 – D)

⇒ 21240/C.P. = (100 + 20)/(100 – 40)

⇒ 21240/C.P. = 120/60

⇒ C.P. = (21240 × 60)/120

⇒ C.P. = Rs.10,620

∴ The Cost Price of the article is Rs.10,620.

Alternate MethodLet the Cost Price (C.P.) be Rs. X

Selling Price = (100 – 40)% of 21240

⇒ 60% of 21240 = 12,744

Again, S.P. = C.P. [1 + (Profit/100)]

⇒ 12,744 = 120% of X

⇒ X = (12,744/120) × 100 = Rs.10,620

∴ The Cost Price of the article is Rs.10,620.

Y = Z – [30% of Z] = 320 − (0.3×320) = 320 – 96 = 224

X is 20% more than Y:

X = Y + (20% of Y) = 224 + (0.2 × 224) = 224 + 44.8 = 268.8

So, 25% of [X + Y] = [268.8 + 224] / 4 = 492.8 / 4 = 123.2

57. The income and expenditure of a person are in a ratio of 7 : 3. If the income of the person is ₹ 56000. then find his savings.

A. Rs. 32,000

B. Rs. 56,000

C. Rs. 24,000

D. Rs. 25,000

E. Rs. 23,000

Solution

Given:

The income of the person is ₹ 56,000

The ratio of income and expenditure is 7 : 3 respectively

Concept used:

Income = Expenditure + Savings

Calculation:

Let the income be 7x

Let the expenditure be 3x

7x = 56000

⇒ x = 56000/7

⇒ x = 8000

⇒ Expenditure = 3x = 3 × 8000 = 24000

Savings = Income – Expenditure

⇒ Savings = 56000 – 24000

⇒ Savings = 32000

∴ The savings of the person is ₹ 32000.

58. In the following number series, a wrong number is given. Find out the wrong number.

1, 2, 6, 24, 96, 720

A. 96

B. 2

C. 6

D. 24

E. 720

Solution

Given:

1, 2, 6, 24, 96, 720

Calculation:

The logic follows here is;

1 × 2 = 2

2 × 3 = 6

6 × 4 = 24

24 × 5 = 120 ≠ 96

120 × 6 = 720

There should be 120 instead of 96.

∴ 96 is the wrong term.

59. In each of the following number series, the wrong number is given, find out that number.8, 8.5, 11.5, 14, 17

The logic of the given series can be explained as:

⇒ 8 + 1.5 = 9.5 ≠ 8.5,

⇒ 9.5 + 2 = 11.5,

⇒ 11.5 + 2.5 = 14,

⇒ 14 + 3 = 17

∴ Wrong term in given number series is 8.5

Logic: Addition of 0.5

60. Find the wrong number in the following series.

Solution

Given that,

256, 260, 251, 267, 243, 278

256

⇒ 256 + 2²= 260

⇒ 260 – 32 = 251

⇒ 251 + 42 = 267

⇒ 267 – 52 = 242

⇒ 242 + 62 = 278

∴ 243 is the wrong number in the given pattern

63. A box contains 10 green and 8 yellow balls. In how many ways, two balls of the same-colour can be drawn?

A. 73

B. 36

C. 28

D. 54

E. None of these

Solution

The correct answer is option 1.

Given: A box contains 10 green and 8 yellow balls.

Concept Used: When we need to draw two balls out of n number of balls then possible ways = nC2nC2

Calculation:

⇒ Two ball of same colour = two balls may be green + two balls may be yellow

So, two balls of same colour = 10C2+8C210C2+8C2

Possible ways to draw two ball of same colour = 10×92×1+8×72×110×92×1+8×72×1

= 45 + 28

= 73

So, two balls of same colour can be drawn in 73 ways.

64. If a sum of money invested at the simple interest becomes 8 times of itself in 14 years, then find the rate of interest.

A. 60%

B. 80%

C. 50%

D. 25%

E. None of these

Solution

Short Trick

If a sum of money becomes ‘x’ times in ‘t’ years at S.I, the rate of interest r = {100(x – 1)/t}%

Calculation:

Here, x = 8, t = 14

so, from the question, we can say,

r = {100(8 – 1)/14}%

⇒ r = 50%

∴ The rate of interest will be 50%.

Given:

The Sum of money becomes 8 times of itself in 14 years

Formula used:

S.I = PRT/100

Where S.I = Simple interest, P = Principal, R = Rate, T = time

Calculation:

Let the Principal be 100x and after 14 years, it will be 800x

So, the S.I will be (800x – 100x) = 700x

So, according to the formula, we can say,

700x = {(100x × R × 14)/100}

⇒ R = 50

∴ The rate of interest will be 50%.

65. A circular shaped wire in the form of a circle of radius 21 m is cut and again bent in the form of a square. what is the diagonal of the square?

A. 35√2m

B. 31√2m

C. 33√2m

D. 66m

E. 132m

Solution

Given:

Radius of circle = 21 m

Concept used:

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Perimeter of square = 4a

Diagonal of square = a√2

Calculations:

Radius of circle = 21m

Now, the circumference of the circle = 2πr

2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 21 = 132m

Here, is given that the wire is bent in the form of a circle to a square .so, circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the square.

Side of square = 4a

4a = 132

a = 132/4

a = 33

Diagonal of square = a√2 = 33√2

Hence, the required diagonal of square = 33√2.

74. Direction: In the question below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

Only a few income is salary.

No salary is dollar.

All salary is pound.

Conclusions:

I. All income is pound.

II. No income is pound.

A. Only conclusion I follows

B. Only conclusion II follows

C. Either conclusion I or II follows

D. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

E. Both conclusion I and II follows

Solution

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. All income is pound → FALSE (All salary is pound and only some part of salary is income, thus all part of income cannot be pound but some part of income will be pound).

II. No income is pound → FALSE (Some part of income is there in pound and thus no part of income is pound will be wrong).

Hence, “Neither conclusion I nor II follows”.

75. Direction: In the question below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

All monitor are screen.

No monitor is scanner.

No mouse is monitor.

Conclusions:

I) All screen can be mouse.

II) All mouse being scanner is a possibility.

A. Only conclusion I follows

B. Only conclusion II follows

C. Either conclusion I or II follows

D. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

E. Both conclusion I and II follows

Solution

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I) All screen can be mouse → False (No Monitor is Mouse and “All monitor are screen” so all screen can be mouse is not a possibility.)

II) All mouse being scanner is a possibility → True (There is no direct relation between mouse and scanner, thus the possibility is true here).

“Only conclusion II follows”.

76. Directions: In the question below are given three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

All dogs are mammals.

Some mammals are carnivores.

No carnivore is herbivore.

Conclusions:

I. Some dogs are not herbivores.

II. Some carnivores are dogs.

A. Only I follows.

B. Only II follows.

C. Both I and II follows.

D. Either I or II follows.

E. Neither I nor II follows.

Solution

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some dogs are not herbivores. → False (Since all dogs are mammals, and some mammals are carnivores, So the dogs have no direct negative relation with herbivores. So it is not definitely true. This conclusion is invalid.)

II. Some carnivores are dogs. → False (We cannot definitively conclude this from the given statements. Although all dogs are mammals and some mammals are carnivores, we don’t have enough information to establish that some dogs are also carnivores. This conclusion is not valid.)

Hence, the correct answer is “Neither I nor II follows”.

91. Directions: In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.

Statement:

K ≥ W = Y; Y ≤ P = G; F < W > V = H

Conclusion:

I. G = WII. W < G

A. Only conclusion I follow

B. Only conclusion II follow

C. Either conclusion I or II follow

D. Neither conclusion I nor II follow

E. None of these

Solution

Given Statements: K ≥ W = Y; Y ≤ P = G; F < W > V = H

On Combining: G = P ≥ Y = W > V = H; K ≥ W > F

Conclusion:

I. G = W → False (As G = P ≥ Y = W, clearly G ≥ W).

II. W < G → False (As G = P ≥ Y = W, clearly G ≥ W).

From the above conclusion it is clear that conclusion I and II form complementary pair.

Hence, either conclusion I or II follow.

Additional information:

i) If from statements, relation between two elements cannot be determined and in conclusion all three sign are present between that two elements, then individual conclusion will be false and the answer will be ‘either or’.

ii) If from statement, relation between two elements is inferred as ‘greater equals to’ or ‘lesser equals to’ and in conclusion ‘greater than and equals to’ or ‘less than and equals to’ are present between that two elements, then individual conclusion will be false and the answer will be ‘either or’.

II. C < L

A. Only I follows

B. Only II follows

C. Both I and II follw

D. Neither I nor II follows

E. Either I or II follows

Solution

Given statements: M < C ≥ U < E; F ≥ G ≤ L < E

On combining: F ≥ G ≤ L < E > U ≤ C > M

Conclusions:

I. L ≤ C → False (as L < E > U ≤ C, thus clear relation cannot be determined)

II. C < L → False (as L < E > U ≤ C, thus clear relation cannot be determined)

Therefore, Conclusion I and Conclusion II form complementary pair

Hence, Either I or II is true

Key Points

Conditions for Either – or

I. Subject and predicate should be same

II. Both the individual conclusions must be false

III. Both the subject should have all the three possibilities i.e. >, <, =

There can be only three possibilities between two subjects

A > B
A < B
A = B

Question:

If all the odd number and vowel are dropped from the series, which is the fourth element from the left of the seventh element from the left?

A. 2

B. Q

C. @

D. #

E. 5

Solution

Given series– 9 & A 3 5 $ I Q 7 6 J 4 U P 9 5 2 @ 7 # E ! ? P Q 5 * > < U T 3 ≤ ≥ O J 3 6 2 1 ≈

New series– (Left) & $ Q 6 J 4 P 2 @ # ! ? P Q * > < T ≤ ≥ J 6 2 ≈ (Right)

Seventh letter from left is P and fourth element left of P is Q.

Hence, The fourth element from the left of the seventh element from the left is Q
