SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 7

Which of the following should be the FOURTH sentence in the correct order?

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 7

The Correct Option is – 1.

The first sentence of a paragraph introduces a topic. The second sentence usually provides more information about the first. Here, the second sentence mentions the impact of a plane crash, and only sentence R mentions a plane crashing into the World Trade Center building.

So, R must be the first sentence.
The third sentence must logically follow from the second sentence. Only sentence T mentions the aftermath of the plane crash – the evacuation of people from the building.

So, T must be the third sentence.
The fourth sentence must follow from the third. Only sentence P mentions another plane crash 18 minutes later – into the South Tower of the World Trade Center building.

So, P must be the fourth sentence.
Sixth and seventh sentences would follow the earlier sentences, with the last giving some kind of conclusion to the above sentences. Out of the remaining sentences, S mentions that the ‘hijackers’ were Islamic terrorists and Q concludes by giving the reasons for the attack.

So, S must be the sixth sentence while Q is the last sentence of the paragraph. The correct order is: RTPSQ or R2TP5SQ

The complete paragraph is:
On September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 18 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767—United Airlines Flight 175—appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center, and sliced into the south tower near the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and onto the streets below. It immediately became clear that America was under attack. The hijackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. Reportedly financed by the al-Qaida terrorist organization of Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden, they were allegedly acting in retaliation for America’s support of Israel, its involvement in the Persian Gulf War, and its continued military presence in the Middle East.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 8

Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have an error. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from errors, select 'No error' as your answer.

The concept of bears (A)/ searching for food in campgrounds (B)/ are very much like the (C)/ popular cartoon show, Yogi Bear from the 1970s. (D)/ No error (E)/.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 8

The correct answer is 'C' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

  • In the third part of the given sentence, the plural form of the verb 'are' is incorrect.
  • The subject 'concept' in the given sentence is a singular subject.
  • We know that a singular subject always takes a singular verb.
  • The singular form of the verb 'is' should be used with the singular subject 'concept'.
  • Therefore, the singular form of the verb 'is' should be used in place of the plural form of the verb 'are'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: The concept of bears searching for food in campgrounds is very much like the popular cartoon show, Yogi Bear from the 1970s.

Additional Information

  • Subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number (singular or plural).
  • Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if the subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.
SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 9

Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have an error. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from errors, select 'No error' as your answer.

The true facts regarding the Yugoslav (A)/ legions and the services rendered by (B)/ Yugoslav deserters at Gorizia and (C)/ in the Trentino were simply suppressed. (D)/ No error (E)/.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 9

The correct answer is 'A' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

  • In the first part of the given sentence, the words 'true' and 'facts' are used side by side, thus the sentence is corrupted by redundancy.
  • The word 'facts' means things that are proven to be true.
  • The word 'true' is included in the meaning of 'facts'.
  • So, both 'true' and 'facts' can’t be used in a single sentence.
  • Therefore, we can say that using the word 'true' along with 'facts' is redundant.

Hence, the only possible answer is option 1.

Correct Sentence: The facts regarding the Yugoslav legions and the services rendered by Yugoslav deserters at Gorizia and in the Trentino were simply suppressed.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 10

Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have an error. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from errors, select 'No error' as your answer.

A detailed examination of (A)/ mountain floras shows that a (B)/ large local element is present (C)/ in each beside the arctic. (D)/ No error (E)/.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 10

The correct answer is 'D' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

  • In the fourth part of the given sentence, the use of the preposition 'beside' is incorrect.
  • The preposition 'beside' means ''close to'' or ''next to'' somebody or something.
    • Example: They sat down beside the fire.
  • The given sentence is saying that a large local element is present in each mountain floras apart from the arctic.
  • Therefore, the preposition 'besides' should be used in place of the preposition 'beside'.
  • The preposition 'besides' means ''in addition to'' or ''apart from'' somebody or something.
    • Example: Besides milk and butter, we need some vegetables.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct Sentence: A detailed examination of mountain floras shows that a large local element is present in each besides the arctic.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 11

Directions: In the following question, out of the five alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select the "No improvement" option.

The cavalry gradually became hopeless entangled among the squares they were unable to break, and at last, they were driven down the face of the ridge and the most dramatic part of the battle came to an end.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 11

The correct answer is option (2) i.e. became hopelessly entangled.

Key Points

Use "hopelessly" instead of "hopeless" because to qualify a verb an adverb is required.

  • Entangled is a verb here and it must be followed by an adverb.
  • Hopeless is an adjective.

Correct sentence: "The cavalry gradually became hopelessly entangled among the squares they were unable to break, and at last, they were driven down the face of the ridge and the most dramatic part of the battle came to an end." 

Additional Information

An adverb is a word that describes a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence.

Adverbs are used in the following ways.

  • at the beginning
    • before all the other verbs.
    • at the end
    • after the verb to be and all auxiliary verbs: can, may, will, must, shall, and have, when have is used as an auxiliary.
SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 12

Economic planning requires well preparedness to meet the challenge of a batter growth rate.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 12

The correct answer is 'a better growth rate'.

Key Points

  • We need to first identify if the underlined part of the sentence has an error which would lead to its replacement by an appropriate phrase.
  • The underlined part of the sentence uses the noun 'batter' which means a semi-liquid mixture of flour, egg, and milk or water, used for making pancakes or for coating food before frying. In context of the given sentence, this is incorrect.
  • The comparative adjective 'better' is the best fit word to describe 'growth rate'.
  • Hence, 'a better growth rate' is the correct replacement for the underlined phrase.
  • This makes option 2 the correct answer.

Additional Information

Grammar Rules Learnt:

  • When we use a superlative adjective ('the shortest student') before the noun, we generally use it with 'the'.
  • 'Well' is an adverb. It is used to modify a verb. But it has an exception.
    • It is used as an adjective when we refer to a person’s health or well-being. She asked about Rahul's illness, and I told her he is well now.

Precarious
A. The climber found himself in a precarious position on the steep cliff.
B. His financial situation was precarious after losing his job.
C. The student's straight-A record was considered precarious.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 13

  • Precarious: not securely held or in position; dangerously likely to fall or collapse; dependent on chance; uncertain. (अस्थिर, संकटपूर्ण, अनिश्चित)
  • Now, let's examine the given sentences:
  • Sentence A: The climber found himself in a precarious position on the steep cliff.
    • This sentence correctly uses the word "precarious" to describe a dangerous and unstable situation.
  • Sentence B: His financial situation was precarious after losing his job.
    • This sentence also correctly uses the word "precarious" to describe an uncertain and risky financial condition.
  • Sentence C: The student's straight-A record was considered precarious.

1. whereas
2. However
3. In the same way

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 15

  • In the sentence, it says that cutting down on sugar will help to lose weight. Also, daily exercising will also help in the reduction of some kilos.
  • So, the connector which can appropriately connect these two sentences is 'In the same way'. We use 'in the same way' as subordinating conjunction to introduce a situation that you are comparing with one that you have just mentioned because there is a strong similarity between them.
  • So, 'In the same way' is the correct connector for the given sentence.
  • The correct sentence will be - Cutting down on sugar will help to lose weight. In the same way, daily exercising will also help in the reduction of some kilos.

Additional Information

  • The types of connectors in English are: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, conductive adverbs and prepositional phrases.
  • 'Whereas'- We use this conjunction to indicate a contrast between two facts or ideas.
  • Whereas means the same as while in sentences expressing contrasts. It does not mean the same as while when while refers to the time.
    • I like supercomputers whereas my brother likes laptops.
  • 'However' - It is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously.​

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 17

A can complete a work in 15 days and B can complete a work in 10 days. If A increases its efficiency by 40% and B increases it by 20% then in how many days will they complete 2/3rd of work?

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 17

Given:
A = 15 days
A’ = 40% more efficient
B = 10 days
B’ = 20% more efficient

Calculation:
Let, the total work to be done is 150 unit.
⇒ A can complete the whole work in 15 days.
So, efficiency of A to complete the work = 150/15 = 10 units/day.
⇒ 40% of 10 units = 4 units.
⇒ New efficiency of A = 10 + 4 = 14 units/day
⇒ B can complete the whole work in 10 days.
So, efficiency of B to complete the work = 150/10 = 15 units/day.
⇒ 20% of 15 units = 3 units.
⇒ New Efficiency of B = 15 + 3 = 18 units/day.
⇒ Together they will complete 14 + 18 = 32 units/day.
⇒ 2/3rd of 150 units = 100 units.
⇒ Time to complete the 100 units = 100/32 = 25/8 days

Hint
Find total work done at first and then multiply it with fraction to obtain 2/ 3rd of the work

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 18

The following question is accompanied by two statements (I) and (II). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions.

What is the value of the 2-digit number?
Statement I. The sum of the digits at the unit’s place and ten’s place is 14.
Statement II. When the digits are interchanged the number obtained is 18 larger than the original number.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 18

Calculation:
For Statement I:
Let the 2-digit number ab be 10a + b
⇒ a + b = 14
∴ Statement I alone is not sufficient.

For Statement II:
10b + a = 10a + b + 18
⇒ 9(b - a) = 18
∴ Statement II alone is not sufficient.
If we solve both the equations, we get the answer as 68.
∴ Both statements are necessary.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 19

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 23

College A:
Total number of students studying in (UG + PG) = 1500
Number of students studying UG = 800
Number of students studying PG = (1500 - 800) = 700

College B:
Total number of students studying in (UG + PG) = 1350
Number of students studying UG =750
Number of students studying PG = (1350 - 750) = 600

College C:
Total number of students studying in (UG + PG) = 1750
Number of students studying UG = 900
Number of students studying PG = (1750 - 900) = 850

College D:
Total number of students studying in (UG + PG) = 1450
Number of students studying UG = 700
Number of students studying PG = (1450 - 700) = 750

College E:
Total number of students studying in (UG + PG) = 1250
Number of students studying UG = 650
Number of students studying PG = (1250 - 650) = 600

Solution:
Number of students studying PG in college E = 600
Number of students studying UG in college B = 750
Number of students studying PG in college F = (600 + 40) = 640
Number of students studying UG in college F = (750 + 50) = 800
