A. The alarm system was designed to prevent any intrusion into the building after hours.
B. Her endless questions felt like an intrusion on his personal space.
C. He used the term loosely, making an intrusion into scientific terminology.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 1

The correct answer is option 2.

Key Points

  • To answer this question, let's first understand the meaning of the word given in the question:
  • Intrusion: the act of going into a place or becoming involved in a situation where you are not wanted or do not belong. (अनधिकार प्रवेश, हस्तक्षेप)
  • Now, let's examine the given sentences:
  • Sentence A: The alarm system was designed to prevent any intrusion into the building after hours.
    • This sentence correctly uses the word "intrusion" to describe unauthorized entry into a building.
  • Sentence B: Her endless questions felt like an intrusion on his personal space.
    • This sentence also correctly uses the word "intrusion" to describe an unwanted interference in someone's personal space.
  • Sentence C: He used the term loosely, making an intrusion into scientific terminology.
    • This sentence incorrectly uses the word "intrusion" as it does not fit well with the context of using a term loosely in scientific terminology.
  • So, both sentences A and B correctly use the word "intrusion" to illustrate different contexts of unauthorized entry or interference.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Both A & B."

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (E)?

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

The correct answer is "Tragicomedy"

Key Points

  • Let us see the meaning of the word "tragicomedy"
    • Tragicomedy(noun): A dramatic composition involving elements of both tragedy and comedy usually with the tragic predominating
  • The word in the bracket -- Dilemma is a contextual misfit and does not make the sentence meaningful.
    • Dilemma: State of uncertainty or perplexity especially as requiring a choice between equally unfavourable options
  • Hence, Tragicomedy is the most suitable fit for the blank.

Additional Information

  • Let's see the meanings of the other words:

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 3

In this question, a sentence (in underline) from the passage has been divided into four parts (A), (B), (C) and (D). Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

  • The second sentence of the second paragraph says, 'It is supposed unless I mistake--the assembled members of our family will correct me if I do, which is very likely (here the poor relation looked mildly about him for contradiction); that I am nobody's enemy but my own.', so Sentence B is correct.
  • The second sentence of the last paragraph says, 'I take my breakfast--my roll and butter, and my half-pint of coffee--at the old-established coffee shop near Westminster Bridge.', so Sentence C is also correct.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 16

Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose among the possible answers.

Quantity I: The sum of the age of Deepak and Suman at present is 70 years, while the ratio of their ages is 7 ∶ 3. What is the age of Deepak?
Quantity II: The difference between the present age of Deepak and Suman is 15 years. 8 years ago the ratio of their ages was 7 ∶ 4 respectively. What is Deepak's present age?

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 16

Given:
Sum of their ages = 70 years
The ratio of their ages = 7 ∶ 3

Calculation:
Let the age of Deepak and Suman be 7x and 3x respectively
Sum of their ages = 70
⇒ 7x + 3x = 70
⇒ 10x = 70
⇒ x = 70/10
⇒ x = 7
Now,
The age of Deepak be 7x
⇒ 7 × 7
⇒ 49
∴ The Age of Deepak will be 49 years.

Quantity 2:
Given:
The difference of their present ages = 15 years
8 years ago the ratio of their ages = 7 ∶ 4

Calculation:
Let the 8 years ago, the age of Deepak and Suman be 7x and 4x respectively
The difference of their ages = 15
⇒ 7x – 4x = 15
⇒ 3x = 15
⇒ x = 15/3
⇒ x = 5

Now,
The age of Deepak 8 years ago be 7x
⇒ 7 × 5
⇒ 35 years
Now,
The present age of Deepak = 35 years + 8 years
⇒ 43 years
∴ The Present age of Deepak will be 43 years.
The comparison of both the Result:
∴ Quantity I > Quantity II

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 21

A sum of Rs. x is invested at 18% simple interest for 3 years and the interest received is Rs. y. If Rs. (10y-2400) is invested at 20% simple interest for 6 years and the interest received is Rs. 6x. Find the number of years when the simple interest received is Rs. 2956.8 at 8% interest rate for a sum of Rs. (x + y).

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 21

Investment = Rs. x
Interest received = Rs. y
If the sum invested at 18% rate of interest for 3 years = y
x × 18 × 3/100 = y
27x = 50y … (1)
If Rs. (10y - 2400) is invested for 6 years at 20% rate of interest = 6x
(10y – 2400) × 20 × 6/100 = 6x
(10y – 2400) × 6/5 = 6(50y/27)
(10y – 2400) × 1/5 = (50y/27)
270y – 64800 = 250y
20y = 64800
y = 3240
x = 50(3240)/27 = 6000
x + y = 6000 + 3240 = 9240
To find the value of N
9240 × N × 8/100 = 2956.8
N × 8 = 32
N = 4 years

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

The present age of A is thrice the difference between the ages of A and B. If the age of A after five years will be twice his age twenty years ago, then find the product of present ages of A and B. If ‘x’ represents the sum of the present ages A and B, then 92 ≤ x ≤ 53

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

The age of A after five years will be twice of his age twenty years ago
(A + 5) = 2 × (A – 20)
A + 5 = 2A – 40
A = 45
Case I
The present age of A is thrice the difference between the ages of A and B
A = 3 × (A - B)
A = 3A – 3B
2A = 3B
A/B = 3/2
The present age of A = 45 years
The present age of B = 45 × 2/3 = 30 years
The sum of the present ages of A and B = 30 + 45 = 75 years
x = 75
So, the value of x does not lies in between 81 and 125
This case (I) is not possible
Case II
A = 3 × (B - A)
A = 3B – 3A
4A = 3B
A/B = 3/4
The present age of A = 45 years
The present age of B = 45 × 4/3 = 60 years
The sum of the present ages of A and B = 45 + 60 = 105
x = 105
So, the value of x lies in between 81 and 125
This, case II is possible

Required product of the present ages of A and B = 45 × 60 = 2700

Find the percentage profit earned by shopkeeper.
Statement I: The marked price of an article is 20% above the cost price of an article.
Statement II: The percentage discount offered on article is 5% and selling price of an article is Rs.114

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 9 - Question 23

From statement II
Selling price of an article = Rs.114
Marked price of an article = 114 × 100/95 = Rs.120

From statement I
Cost price of an article = 120 × 100/120 = Rs.100
Profit earned = 114 - 100 = Rs.14
Percentage profit = (14/100) × 100 = 14%
∴ the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
