SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 5

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

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 5

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 6

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 6

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 7

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 7

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 8

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’.

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

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

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.
SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 9

Direction: Evaluate the following word, accompanied by three sentences containing it. Determine the sentence(s) that accurately convey the meaning of the given word.

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 9

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:
  • 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.
    • This sentence does not correctly use the word "precarious". A straight-A record typically indicates stability and success, not uncertainty or danger.

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

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 10

A sentence/ a part of sentence underlined.5 alternatives are given to 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'

Cutting down on sugar will help to lose weight. Daily exercising will also help in the reduction of some kilos.
1. whereas
2. However
3. In the same way

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

The correct answer is Only 3.

Key Points

  • Connectors are words that demonstrate the connection between ideas in different sentences, paragraphs, or sections.
  • 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.​

    • If my brother likes something he'll buy it however much it costs.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 13

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 13

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 14

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 14

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 15

A man walks around two circular fields, field one and field two in 11 sec and 33 sec respectively. If the ratio of speed while walking in field one and field two is 2 : 1 and the radius of field one is 14 m, then find the radius of field two.

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

Given:
Time taken to walk around field 1 = 11 s
Time taken to walk around field 2 = 33 s

Formula used :
Speed = Distance/ Time

Calculations :
Let the radius of field 1 and field 2 be r1 and r2 respectively.
And the speeds while traveling in field 1 and field 2 are 2x and x respectively.
Distance traveled = Perimeter of the fields
⇒ Distance 1/Distance 2 = (speed× time)1 / (speed× time)2
⇒ Distance 1/Distance 2 = (2x × 11)/(x × 33)
⇒ 2/3 = r1/r2
⇒ r2 = 3/2 × r1
⇒ r2 = 3/2 × 14
⇒ r2 = 21 m
∴ The radius of field two is 21 m.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 16

Given:
Original income of Sucheta = 12.6 × 1000 = Rs. 12,600

Calculation:
According to the question, we get
Rectified income of Sucheta = 12600 × (75/100)

Area of the right angled triangle is 924 cm² whose height and base are x cm and (x + 23) cm respectively. If the radius of the circle is 3 cm less than the height of the triangle. Find the perimeter of the triangle is how much more or less than the perimeter of the circle. (Use π = 3)

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 10 - Question 22

Area of the right angle triangle = 1/2 × ( b × h)
924 = 1/2 × x × (x + 23)
1848 = x2 + 23x
x2 + 23x - 1848 = 0
x2 + 56x - 33x - 1848 = 0
x (x + 56) - 33 ( x + 56)
(x - 33) (x + 56) = 0
x = 33, - 56
Hypotenuse side of the triangle = √(332 + 562) = √4225 = 65 cm
Radius of the circle = (33 -3) = 30 cm
Perimeter of the circle = 2πr = 2 × 3 × 30 = 180 cm
Perimeter of the triangle = (33 + 56 + 65) = 154 cm
(180 - 154) = 26 cm
