SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 5 - Bank Exams MCQ

The correct answer is option 2.

The word 'disparity' means 'a great difference'. The reading of the sentence tells us that the word has not been used correctly. Also, the phrase 'stirring they suffer' does not make much sense. The word 'stirring' means 'rousing'. Thus, these two words should be interchanged with one another as that would make the sentence more meaningful.

Also, the phrase 'demand equal pay' makes much more sense than 'highlight equal pay'. Therefore, thee two words should be interchanged as well.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., A-D, B-C.

The correct sentence is:
Serena Williams has issued a stirring call for black women to demand equal pay using a personal essay to highlight the financial disparity they suffer.

Correct option: 1.
Looking at the fragments you can realise that the sentence is about an event.
Hence, part C becomes the introductory part. The 'was' in part C attaches itself to the verb 'concluded' in part A. Part E's 'came' connects to the 'people' in Part A. Parts B and then D follow to finish the sentence in a meaningful manner.

The correct answer is Option 5 i.e. E

Key Points

• The sentence is grammatically correct and conveys a complete and meaningful idea. It has a dependent clause
• "Having finished his homework" at the beginning, which is followed by the independent clause.
• "Jack went outside to play basketball with his friends." The dependent clause acts as an adverb modifying the independent clause, indicating the time sequence of events.
• The subject "Jack" is followed by the predicate "went outside to play basketball with his friends," which contains a verb in the past tense "went" and two infinitive phrases "to play basketball" and "with his friends."
• All parts of the sentence are structured correctly, and there is no grammatical error. Hence, the answer is E, i.e., No error.

The correct answer is 'Europe'

Key Points

• The second sentence of the third paragraph clearly says that Europe has been undergoing several major changes in recent months.
• The paragraph then continues to paint a picture in which important European leaders like Germany and France are going through changes in their political scenarios.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

The correct answer is Richest

Key Points

The passage talks about the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma and how he is facing some problems with the Chinese government.

• The sentence with the first blank talks about how Jack Ma has lost some title and this is because his contemporaries are making progress while the government has put him under heavy scrutiny.
• 'Happiness' and 'sadness' are not things that can be measured on a common scale. 'Handsomest' is not a degree of comparison as it is not an actual word.
• Who is the 'poorest' is not something that can, should, or is measured.
• The second paragraph also mentions that Ma and his family had held the spot for 'the richest prople' in China in 2020 and 2019.

Thus, the correct answer is 'richest'.

Additional Information

Let's look at the meaning of the other words:

• Saddest: superlative for the word 'sad' i.e. feeling or showing sorrow; unhappy
• Handsomest: Not an actual word, the superlative term for 'handsome' (good-looking) is 'most handsome'
• Poorest: Superlative term for 'poor' i.e. lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society
• Happiest: Superlative term for 'happy' i.e. feeling or showing pleasure or contentment

The correct answer is Probe

Key Points

The passage talks about the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma and how he is facing some problems with the Chinese government.

• The sentence with the fifth blank talks about how this incident with Jack Ma has caused the government to look more closely at everyone in the tech industry. It also states that the market regulator has launched an anti-trust 'something' into Alibaba.
• In the previous sentences of the passage, the government is looking closely at Jack Ma due to anti-trust issues.
• The word following the fifth blank is 'into' which is a preposition. Thus the noun in the blank should also suit the term 'into'.
• 'Probe into' refers to the act of examining or looking into something or someone very closely or to investigate them.

Thus, the correct answer is 'probe'.

Additional Information

Let's look at the meaning of the other words:

• Sacrifice: an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy
• Solution: a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation
• Policy: a course or principle of action adopted or proposed by a government, party, business, or individual
• Stock: the capital raised by a business or corporation through the issue and subscription of shares

The correct answer is Option 2.

• In the passage, the second and fifth sentences are given. This can give us more information about the first and the sixth sentences.
• The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.
• Here, only sentence S is independent in meaning and introduces the incident of bombing.
• So, S must be the first sentence.
• The fifth sentence talks about a special report. The sixths entence must also refer to the report. The only sentence that shows this connection is sentence P.
• So, Sentence P must be the sixth sentence.
• The two remaining sentences must have a logical sequence to them. Sentence R also talks about an investigation, which is referred to in the fifth sentence. This shows a connection, meaning R must be the fourth sentence.
• So, Q becomes the third sentence.
• The correct sequence then becomes: SQRP or S2QR5P.
• Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Given:
A wall of 30 meter long, 6 meter tall and 30 cm thick
Each brick is length of 25 cm, breadth of 10 cm, and height of 6 cm
5% of the wall has to be filled with cement

Formula Used:
Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Calculation:
30 meter = 3000 cm, and 6 meter = 600 cm
The volume of the wall = (3000 × 600 × 30) cm³
The volume of each brick (V_b) = (25 × 10 × 6) cm³
The part of the wall excluding cement (V_w) = (95/100) × (3000 × 600 × 30) cm3
The number of bricks required = (Vw)/(Vb)
⇒ (95 × 3000 × 600 × 30)/(100 × 25 × 10 × 6)
⇒ 360 × 95 = 34200
∴ The correct answer is option 4

Given:

Calculation:
Marks obtained by Ankush in Maths = 95 × 4/5 = 76 (∵ 20% = 1/5)
Marks obtained by Ankush in History = 70 × 7/5 = 98 (∵ 40% = 2/5)
Marks obtained by Ankush in Maths and History together = 76 + 98 = 174
⇒ 174

Given:

Calculation:
Marks obtained by Rishi in Hindi = 75 × 19/15 = 95 (∵ 26.66% = 4/15)
Marks obtained by Rishi in English = 90 × 5/6 = 75 (∵ 16.66% = 1/6)
Total marks obtained by Rishi in English and Hindi = 95 + 75 = 170
Total marks obtained by Pranav in Maths and Science = 95 + 85 = 180
Required ratio = 170/180
⇒ 17:18

Given:

Calculations:
The average of marks obtained by Pranav in Computer, Hindi, and History = 70
So total marks obtained by Pranav in Computer, Hindi, and History = 70 × 3 = 210
Marks obtained by Pranav in Hindi and History = 75 + 70 = 145
Then marks obtained by Pranav in Computer = 210 - 145 = 65
Marks obtained by Pranav in English = 90
⇒ 65/90 × 100 = 72.22%
∴ The required percentage is 72.22%

​As per data:
Total fruits sold in March = (28/100) × 8100 = 2268
Total number of Banana sold in March = (3/7) × 2268 ​​​​= 972
Total number of Apple sold in March = (4/7) × 2268 = 1296
Total fruits sold in April = (12/100) × 8100 =972
Total number of Banana sold in April = (4/9) × 972 = 432
Total number of Apple sold in April = (5/9) × 972 = 540
Total fruits sold in May = (25/100) × 8100 = 2025
Total number of Banana sold in May = (2/3) × 2025 = 1350
Total number of Apple sold in May = (1/3) × 2025 = 675
Total fruits sold in June = (20/100) × 8100 =1620
Total number of Banana sold in June = (7/15) × 1620 = 756
Total number of Apple sold in June = (4/7) × 1620 = 864
Total fruits sold in July = (15/100) × 8100 =1215
Total number of Banana sold in July = (8/15) × 1215 = 648
Total number of Apple sold in July = (7/15) × 1215 = 567
Hence, the value will be:

25% of the banana sold in March are rotten = (25/100) × 972 = 243
2/7th of the apple sold in July are rotten = (2/7) × 567 = 162
So, fresh banana in sold in march = 972 – 243 = 729
Fresh apple sold in July = 567 – 162 = 405
Hence, required ratio will be = 729:405

Number of 50P coins in bag = 4x
Number of 1Rs. coins in bag = 3x
Number of 2Rs. Coins in bag = x
Total amount in the bag = Rs. 70
(x × 2) + 3x + 4x/2 = 70
2x + 3x + 2x = Rs. 70
7x = 70
x = 10
Number of 2 Rs. coin in bag = 10
Number of 1 Rs. coin in bag = 3 × 10 = 30
Number of 50P Paise coin in bag = (4 × 10) = 40
If Number of 50P coins are increased by 25% then the Number of 50P coins = 40 × 125/100 = 50
Total amount of 1 Rs. coin = 10 × 3 = Rs. 30
New total amount of Rs. 50 coin = 50/2 = Rs. 25
Require difference = (Rs. 30 - Rs. 25) = R. 5

Given
One bat bought at Rs. 800
Furnishing cost of all bats = Rs. 1000
Brand promotion for one bat = Rs. 48
Sticker promotion for one bat = Rs. 72

Concept used
SP = Gain + CP
Cost price = Furnishing Cost + Price of bat + Brand promotion cost + Sticker installation cost

Calculation
Furnishing cost of all bats = Rs. 1000
i.e. for one bat furnishing cost = 1000 / 25 = Rs. 40
CP for one bat = (800 + 48 + 40 + 72) = Rs. 960
Gain % he wants to achieve = 10%
10% of 960 = 96
SP = Gain + CP
⇒ SP = 96 + 960 = Rs. 1056
∴ Sanju Samson needs to sell a bat at Rs. 1056 to earn profit of 10% per bat

Given:
Mukul invest 2/7th of the investment and total investment of Mukul and Atul is equal to the investment of Rahul.

Calculation:
Let the total investment = x
Mukul's investment = x × (2/7)
Rest investment = x - (2x/7) = 5x/7
Let Atul's investment = a, Rahul's investment = b
Rahul investment + Atul investment = 5x/7
⇒ a + b = 5x/7
⇒ b = (5x/7) - a
According to the question



⇒ 3x/7 = 2a
Atul's investment = 3x/14
⇒ Rahul's investment =
⇒ (14x - 3x - 4x)/14
⇒ 7x/14 = x/2
⇒ Investment ratio = Mukul: Atul: Rahul = = 4 :3 : 7
⇒ A's Atul profit Rs.1530
Total profit = (1530 × 14)/3
⇒ Rs. 7140
∴ Total profit = Rs. 7140

Nine persons – I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P and Q are sitting in a row. Some of them are facing towards north and some are towards south.
1. More than four persons sit between M and P.
2. Neither M nor P sits at the extreme end of the row.
3. Q sits third to the left of P.

4. J, who is an immediate neighbor of M, sits fourth from the left of Q that means J is an immediate neighbor of M and J sits fourth from the left of Q.
5. N sits second to the right of Q.
6. Only one person sits between I and L.
7. O sits immediate right of I.

8. Both O and I face same direction.

There are seven employees E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, and E7 in an office.
1. E3 is in the middle of the list and E6 took just 1 leave more than E3.
The list of the number of leaves taken by employees is in descending order:

2. E4 took a greater number of leaves than E3, but less than E2.

3. E5 won the award for his 100 percent attendance i.e., E5 took 0 leaves and E1 took only 1 leave.

4. E3 took a greater number of leaves than E7.

As E3 took 4 leaves and E1 took 1 leave.
Hence, E7 took 2 possible leaves.

1) A is 20 m in north of D. C is 5 m east of D. E is 10 m north of C.
2) F is 10 m east of E. G is 15 m south of F. X is 15 m west of G.
3) B is 10 m to the east of A. Z is 10 m to the south of B. L is 10 m to east of C.

All has distance of 10 m except LG as the length of LG is 5 m.
Hence, we can clearly see that LG does not belong to that group.
