SBI PO Mains Mock Test - 9 - Question 1

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

Twelve houses are in two horizontal lanes parallel to each other with three houses on both sides of each lane. Thus, six houses are there on each lane. The two lanes are lane I and lane II such that lane I is to the north of lane II. Each lane is 120ft long. The front wall (which has only the entrance door) of no two houses is of the same height which is between 23 and 41ft. No space is left on the ends of both lanes. The houses are O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z.

Note: If A faces B, then both of them are on the same lane. If house A in lane I which faces north and house B in lane II which faces south have a common back wall, i.e., they are exactly behind each other, then they are on different lanes.

Each house is separated from another at a certain distance i.e., in lane I, each house is 9ft apart whereas in lane II, each house is 10ft apart. House T has a common back wall with the house whose front wall is 28ft height, which is not in lane I. No house is to the right or behind the house whose front wall is 36ft height, which faces north. House O is to the immediate left of the house whose front wall is 36ft height and behind the house whose front wall is 37ft height. House R, whose front wall is 38ft height, faces the house whose front wall is 31ft height and is to the second right of house U but is not facing north. House V faces house R but not on the same lane whereas house V is to the immediate left of the house whose front wall is 35ft height. The house whose front wall is 40ft height is behind the house whose front wall is 28ft height and faces towards the house which is to the immediate left of house Q on the same lane. House X, whose front wall is 31ft height, is exactly behind house P, which is to the immediate right of house W. House Y faces the house whose front wall is the second highest whereas the height of house S is not an even number.

Q. What is the height of the front wall of house Z?

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

6. Persons adjacent to (P) do not have prime number of hats.

7. (P) sits second to the right of one, who has 36 hats.

8. (T) sits third to the left of (P).

9. (O) sits adjacent to one, who has 34 hats.

10. (N) sits third to the right of one, who has hats in the multiple of 4.

11. (S) sits second to the left of (Q), who is adjacent to (M). So, (S) must be sitting immediate left of (P).

12. No two persons having odd number of hats are adjacent to each other.

13. (Q) has a greater number of hats than (S). So, (S) and (Q) must have 27 and 45 hats respectively.

14. (M) is not adjacent to (R). So, (R) and (U) must have 8 and 17 hats respectively. Also, (O) must have 25 hats.

SBI PO Mains Mock Test - 9 - Question 10

Statement: In the backdrop of Maruti Suzuki share touching the milestone of ₹ 10,000 and questions on whether the company would consider a ‘stock split’ to make it more affordable for small retail investors, chairman R C Bhargava said he personally was not in favor of such a move as there was no lack of buyers at the current price.

Q. Which of the following assumption(s) is implicit?

Assumptions:

I. The share value of Maruti Suzuki is rising.

II. ₹ 10,000 share price is not affordable for small retail investors.

III. Many people are buying the shares of Maruti Suzuki.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Mains Mock Test - 9 - Question 10
Since 10,000 Rs. is considered as a milestone, the value is definitely rising. Thus I is implicit.

Since speculations are that small retail investors may not find it affordable, and thus people are questioning if the stock split is being considered by the company. II is implicit.

There is no lack of buyers at this price this means many people are buying the shares of Maruti Suzuki. Thus III is implicit.

SBI PO Mains Mock Test - 9 - Question 11

Statement: The annual requirement of blood in our country is 6 million units whereas the generation is only 3.5 million units per annum at present.

Courses of action:

I. Blood donors should be attracted by telling them how the act of donating blood would improve their health.

II. Blood donors should be attracted by providing them monetary incentives.

III. More and more private blood banks should be encouraged.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Mains Mock Test - 9 - Question 11
Whatever is being told is reliable. On learning this, the blood donors will get attracted by the win-win proposition, thus simultaneously meeting the blood requirement to a large extent. Statement II is not a practical course of action. Statement III is not an immediate course of action as blood banks can be created only after the sufficient blood donors are available.

There are seven climates viz. Cloudy, Frost, Rainy, Snow, Stormy, Sunny and Windy in seven different days starting from Sunday to Saturday of the same week, but not necessarily in the same order. Each day the temperature varies which is an even number between 20° and 35°.

The day which is in Cloudy climate is three days before the day with 32° temperature. The first day of the week is not Cloudy. The number of days after the day which is Cloudy is one more than the number of days before the day which is in Windy. The temperature of the day which is immediately before the Windy day is the highest among all. Only two days are there between the day with the highest temperature and the Stormy day. The number of days between the Stormy and the Windy day is the same as between the Cloudy day and the day with 28° temperature. The day immediately after the day with the median of all the temperature is Snow. The number of days after the Snow day is the same as before the day with 24° temperature. Two days after the day with 24° temperature is immediately higher temperature than that day. None of the days are Rainy before the Frost day. The difference between the temperature of the Sunny day and the Snow day is the maximum among all, where Sunny day has more temperature than Snow day.

Q. What is the temperature on the Frost day?

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Mains Mock Test - 9 - Question 20

  • The day which is in Cloudy climate is three days before the day with 32° temperature.

  • The number of days after the day which is Cloudy is one more than the number of days before the day which is Windy.

  • The temperature of the day which is immediately before the Windy day is the highest among all.
  • Only two days are there between the day with the highest temperature and the Stormy day.
  • The number of days between the Stormy and the Windy day is the same as between the Cloudy and the day with 28° temperature.

  • The day immediately after the day with the median of all the temperature is Snow.
  • The number of days after the Snow day is the same as before the day with 24° temperature.
  • Two days after the day with 24° temperature is immediately higher temperature than that day.

Hence, cases 2 and 2a get eliminated.

  • None of the days are Rainy before the Frost day.
  • The difference between the temperature of the Sunny day and the Snow day is the maximum among all, where Sunny day has more temperature than Snow day.
  • Here, the maximum difference between the highest and the lowest temperature is, 34° – 22° = 12°. Hence, the temperature on Sunny day is 34° and the Snow day is 22°.

Hence, case 1 gets eliminated.
