SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 1

In each question, one sentence is given. In each sentence, certain words are in underline and numbered from A to E. Below the sentences are given five options with possible pairs of interchange of those underline words. Choose the pair(s) of words which are needed to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.

The climate crisis has (A) forest the traditional narrative of such “normality” like (B) changed fires in current eco-fiction, (C) disastrous such events as (D) exacerbating and beyond the limits of the (E) resilience of ecosystems.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 1

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. A-B and C-D.
Key Points

We can look into the sentence in the following way:

The climate crisis has (A) ________ the traditional narrative of such “normality” like (B) _________ fires in current eco-fiction, (C) _________ such events as (D) ________ and beyond the limits of the (E) ________ of ecosystems.

  • E has the correct word in both grammatical and contextual sense.
  • A needs a verb that would signify how the traditional narrative has been affected. Thus, ‘changed’ is the correct word for it. So, A-B. Putting ‘forest’ before fires also makes contextual sense as it defines the type of fires under discussion.
  • Again, C needs a verb while D needs an adjective. Thus, C and D should interchange. ‘Exacerbating’ is a verb meaning make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse. ’Disastrous’ is an adjective meaning causing great damage.
  • Thus, the correct answer is option 4 – A-B and C-D.

Correct Sentence - The climate crisis has (B) changed the traditional narrative of such “normality” like (A) forest fires in current eco-fiction, (D) exacerbating such events as (C) disastrous and beyond the limits of the (E) resilience of ecosystems.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 2

The question below contains five scattered segments of a sentence. Indicate the sequence which correctly assembles the segments and completes the sentence.
A. their powers
B. earn misusing
C. is black money
D. money that people
E. having authority

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 2

The correct answer is DEBAC.

Key Points

  • D is the part that establishes the subject of the matter i.e. 'Money'. Hence, it'll be the first part after rearrangement.
  • Part E talks about authority which is owned by the people with money as mentioned in D. Hence, E follows D.
  • Part B talks about 'earning' which is done by people. Hence, B follows E.
  • Part A talks about .powers which are usually misused as mentioned in B. So, A follows B.
  • Part C talks about black money which is the money earned by misusing one's power. Hence, C follows A.

Correct rearrangement of segments is: Money that people having authority earn misusing their powers is black money.

Hint

  • While solving jumbles, one must first look for any independent sentences/segments or the option which establishes the subject matter.
  • Then, one must look for connections between the sentences/segments.
  • Some sentences/segments might have some concluding notion. So those options will be always at the end.

  • The word 'Foundation' means The idea, principle, or fact on which something is based.
    • Example: The foundation of true joy is in the conscience.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Complete Sentence: It laid the foundation of the relationship for two decades.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

Below a word is given followed by three sentences that consist of that word. Identify the sentence/s which best expresses the meaning of the word. Choose Option 5 (None of these) if the word is not suitable in any of the sentences.

CANARD
A) The oldest canard in the book is the one about how getting the first big win is the hardest bit, and after that, they just fall into your lap like autumn leaves.
B) The preacher warned that those who were interested only in canard pursuits would not see the kingdom of heaven.
C) The soup is notably holistic, as if refusing to take sides, neither frankly canard nor purely herbaceous but somewhere more intriguingly in between.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

The correct answer is Option 3) i.e. Only A is correct.

Key Points

  • Sentence A) The oldest canard in the book is the one about how getting the first big win is the hardest bit, and after that, they just fall into your lap like autumn leaves.
    • Here canard is correctly used. 'Canard' means a false or unfounded report or story
  • Sentence B) The preacher warned that those who were interested only in canard pursuits would not see the kingdom of heaven
    • Here the use of canard makes no sense. 'Carnal' should be there in place of 'Canard'. Carnal means relating to or given to crude bodily pleasures and appetites
  • Sentence C) The soup is notably holistic as if refusing to take sides, neither frankly canard nor purely herbaceous but somewhere more intriguingly in between.
    • Here the use of canard makes no sense. 'Carnal' should be there in place of 'Canard'. Carnal means relating to or given to crude bodily pleasures and appetites

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Only A is correct'.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - 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.”

The country depends with its seas for food and tourism.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 8

The correct answer is option 3), i.e. 'Depends on'.

Key Points
Reading the above sentence we find that:

  • The preposition 'with' is used and it is incorrect.
  • 'On' should be used after the verb 'depend'.
    • Example: You cannot depend on her.
  • 'Depend on someone/something' is a phrasal verb which means 'to need the help of someone or something'.
  • Therefore, 'on' should replace 'with'.

Hence the correct answer is option 3.

Important Points

  • A preposition shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word.
    • Example: He is sitting on the chair. I was standing before the judge.
  • A phrasal verb is an idiomatic phrase consisting of a verb and another element, typically either an adverb, as in break down or a preposition.
    • Example: see to, or a combination of both, such as look down on.

The correct sentence would be: "The country depends on its seas for food and tourism."

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 9

Directions. In each of the questions given below, four words are given in underline. These four words may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of words that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Sam is the studious/ (A) rank holder of the class. He is very first/ (B) and dedicates twelve hours a day to prepare his lessons. But he also cherishes the musician/ (C) of becoming a dream/ (D) and sing for A.R. Rahman.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 9

The correct answer is ‘A-B and C-D’.

Key Points

  • The combination of A-B i.e. studious and first makes sense because ‘first’ should be placed before ‘rank holder’ since 'first' is used as a Definite Numeral Adjective giving us information about the position of Sam in the class.
  • The combination of C-D i.e. musician and dream make sense because despite being so much into studies Sam adores the dream of becoming a musician and sings for A.R. Rahman.
  • Hence, Option 3 is the correct answer.

So, the correct sentence is: “Sam is the first rank holder of the class. He is very studious and dedicates twelve hours a day to prepare his lessons. But he also cherishes the dream of becoming a musician and sing for A.R. Rahman.”

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 11
A container contains 6 white, 8 blue and 4 red marbles. Three marbles are drawn at random from the container. Find the probability that each of them is blue?
Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

Given:

A container contains 6 white, 8 blue and 4 red marbles. Three marbles are drawn at random from the container

Concept used:

The classical definition of probability

Formula used:

Probability = Favorable Outcome / Total Outcome

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

nCr = n! / r!(n - r)!

nCr = nC(n - r)

Calculation:

Total number of marbles is 6 + 8 + 4 = 18

Let S be the sample space

n(S) = Total number of ways of drawing 3 marbles out of 18 = 18C3

Let E = Event of drawing 3 marbles, all of them are blue

n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 3 marbles, all of them are blue

Number of ways of drawing 3 marbles from the total 8 = 8C3

P(E) = n(E) / n(S)

8C3/18C3

⇒ {(8 × 7 × 6)/(1 × 2 × 3)}/{(18 × 17 × 16)/(1 × 2 × 3)}

⇒ 56/816

⇒ 7/102

∴ The probability that all of them are blue is 7/102.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

Total number of 'Full face' helmets sold in May and July together is how much percent of the number of 'Full face' helmets sold in September?

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

Let the total number of 'Full face' helmets sold by the company in all given five months together = 100%
ATQ, 30% + 375 + 10% + 25% + 20% = 100%
⇒ 15% = 375
⇒ 1% = 25
The total number of 'Full face' helmets sold by the company in all given five months together = 2500
Putting all the given information in a table form we get


Total number of 'Full face' helmets sold in May and July together = 750 + 250 = 1000
Required% = (1000/500) × 100 = 200%

Hence, the correct answer is 200%.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 13

Total number of girls studying DCA in college Q are 988 and rest are the boys. In college P, ratio of girls to boys studying DCA is 3:6. Find total number of boys studying DCA from college P and Q.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 13

Correct answer is Option 2.

For college P,
Total percentage of students studying BCA and DCA in college P = 16.67% + 33.33% = 50%
⇒ Total percentage of students studying MCA in college P = 100% - 50% = 50%
It is given that 243 students have been studying MCA from college P.
⇒ 50% = 243
⇒ 100% = 486
⇒ 16.67% = 486 × (1/6) = 81
⇒ 33.33% = 486 × (1/3) = 162
Total number of students studying BCA in college P = 16.67% = 81
Total number of students studying DCA in college P = 33.33% = 162

Now for college Q,
Total percentage of students studying BCA and DCA in college Q = 30% + 45% = 75%
⇒ Total percentage of students studying MCA in college Q = 100% - 75% = 25%
It is given that 960 students have been studying MCA from college Q.
⇒ 25% = 960
⇒ 100% = 960 × 4 = 3840
⇒ 30% = 3840 × (30/100) = 1152
⇒ 45% = 3840 × (45/100) = 1728
Total number of students studying BCA in college Q = 30% = 1152
Total number of students studying DCA in college Q = 45% = 1728

Now for college R,
Total percentage of students studying BCA and DCA in college R = 25% + 25% = 50%
⇒ Total percentage of students studying MCA in college R = 100% - 50% = 50%
It is given that 294 students have been studying MCA from college R.
⇒ 50% = 294
⇒ 100% = 294 × 2 = 588
⇒ 25% = 588 × (25/100) = 147
Total number of students studying BCA in college R = 25% = 147
Total number of students studying DCA in college R = 25% = 147

Now for college S,
Total percentage of students studying BCA and DCA in college S = 35% + 55% = 90%
⇒ Total percentage of students studying MCA in college S = 100% - 90% = 10%
It is given that 500 students have been studying MCA from college S.
⇒ 10% = 500
⇒ 1% = 50
⇒ 35% = 35 × 50 = 1750
⇒ 55% = 55 × 50 = 2750
Total number of students studying BCA in college S = 35% = 1750
Total number of students studying DCA in college S = 55% = 2750

Now for college T,
Total percentage of students studying BCA and DCA in college T = 40% + 30% = 70%
⇒ Total percentage of students studying MCA in college T = 100% - 70% = 30%
It is given that 300 students have been studying MCA from college T.
⇒ 30% = 300
⇒ 1% = 10
⇒ 40% = 10 × 40 = 400
⇒ 30% = 300
Total number of students studying BCA in college T = 40% = 400
Total number of students studying DCA in college T = 30% = 300

Total number of students studying DCA in college Q = 1728
Total number of girls studying DCA in college Q = 988
⇒ Total number of boys studying DCA in college Q = 1728 - 988 = 740
Total number of students studying DCA in college P = 162
Girls : Boys = 3 : 6
⇒ Total number of boys studying DCA in college P = 162 × (6/9) = 108
So, total number of boys studying DCA from college P and Q = 108 + 740 = 848

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 14

A business observed annual profit of Rs. 18,500. This profit is to be divided in three partners X, Y and Z. X has invested 1.5 times the amount after 2 months than Y, and Z invested 2.5 the amount than Y after 8 months. Calculate difference between Y’s share in profit and Z’s share in profit.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 14

Given:
Total profit = Rs. 18500
X = 1.5 × Y
Z = 2.5 × Y

Formula used:
Profit earned in Rs = Profit earned in % × investment

Calculation:
Calculating ratio of profit share
⇒ (1.5Y × 10) : (Y × 12) : (2.5Y × 4)
⇒ 15Y : 12Y : 10Y
⇒ X : Y : Z = 15 : 12 : 10
⇒ Y’s share in profit = 12 × 18500/ 37
⇒ Y’s share in profit = 6000
⇒ Z’s share in profit = 10 × 18500/ 37
⇒ Z’s share in profit = 5000
⇒ required difference = 1000
∴ required difference is 1000

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 17

A bag contains 10, 50 paise coins and X one rupee coins. If probability of picking up a rupee coin is 6 / 11 then find probability of picking up one two rupee coin from the bag in which 8 two rupee coins are added

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 17

Given:
50 paise coins = 10
Probability of chossing one one rupee coin = 6 / 11
Two rupee coins = 8

Formula used:
Probability = Favorable events / Total events

Calculation:
6 / 11 = X / (10 + X)
⇒ 60 + 6X = 11X
⇒ 5X = 60
⇒ X = 12
⇒ Total events = 12 + 10 + 8
⇒ Total events = 30
⇒ Favorable events = 8
⇒ New probability = 8 / 30
∴ Probability of choosing one two rupee coin from the bag is 4 / 15

Hint
Find the unknown X and then solve the remaining probem

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 18
In a race of 2.7 km, 'A' beats 'B' by 200 meters, while in another race of 3.3 km, 'C' beats 'D' by 300 meters. The speed of 'B' and 'D' is same. If 'A' and 'C' participate in a race of 4.4 km, then which of the following statement is correct?
Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 18

Given:
In a race of 2.7 km, 'A' beats 'B' by 200 meters.
In a race of 3.3 km, 'C' beats 'D' by 300 meters.
The speed of 'B' and 'D' is same.

Calculation:
Let the speeds of 'A', 'B', 'C', and 'D' be a, b, c, and d respectively.
In a race of 2.7 km = 2700 meters.
⇒ 2700/a = (2700 - 200)/b
⇒ a/b = 27/25
In a race of 3.3 km = 3300 meters.
⇒ 3300/c = (3300 - 300)/d
⇒ c/d = 11/10
Let a = 27x, b = 25x, c = 11y and d = 10y
ATQ, 25x = 10y
⇒ x/y = 2/5
Let x = 2p and y = 5p
Therefore, a = 54p, b = 50p, c = 55p, d = 50p
Speed of 'C' > Speed of 'A'
In a race of 4.4 km = 4400 meters.
Time taken by 'C' to finish 4400 meters race = 4400/55p = 80/p
Distance covered by 'A' in the same time = (80/p) × 54p = 4320 meters

'C' beats 'A' by = 4400 - 4320 = 80 meters
Hence, the correct answer is 'C' beats 'A' by 80 meters.

SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 19

Bhaumik, mahima and kandarp invested total of Rs. 150,000 in a salon. Mahima invested 20% more than bhaumik and kandarp invested 10% less than mahima. Find the total profit earned by mahima and kandarp if profit gain % is 16.4%.

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 19

Given:
Bhaumik + Mahima + Kandarp = Rs. 150,000
Mahima’s investment = 1.2 × bhaumik’s investment
Kandarp’ investment = 0.9 × 1.2 × bhaumik’s investment
Profit earned = 16.4%

Formula used:
Profit earned in Rs = Profit earned in % × investment

Calculation:
Let, investment by bhaumik be X
⇒ Mahima’s investment = 1.2X
⇒ Kandarp’s investment = 1.08X
⇒ Ratio of profit share = X : 1.2X : 1.08X
⇒ Bhaumik : Mahima : Kandarp = 1 : 1.2 : 1.08
⇒ Bhaumik : Mahima : Kandarp = 25 : 30 : 27
⇒ Total profit earned = 150,000 × 0.164
⇒ Total profit earned = 24600
⇒ Profit earned by mahima and kandarp = 24600 × (30/ 82) + (24600 × 27/ 82)
⇒ Profit earned by mahima and kandarp = Rs. 24600 (30 + 27)/ 82
∴ Profit earned by mahima and kandarp is Rs 17,100

Directions: In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.

Statements: W < X, Y = Z, V < U, X > Z, T ≥ Y, W > U, P = V
Conclusions:
I. T > X
II. W > P
III. Y = P

Detailed Solution for SBI PO Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Question 29

Given statements: W < X, Y = Z, V < U, X > Z, T ≥ Y, W > U, P = V
By combining: T ≥ Y = Z < X > W > U > V = P

Conclusions:
I. T > X → False (as T ≥ Y = Z < X → T ≥ Z < X. Thus, no clear relation between T and X can be obtained because of presence of opposite sign between T and X)
II. W > P → True (as W > U > V = P → W > P)
III. Y = P → False (as Y = Z < X > W > U > V = P → Y < X > W > U > P. Thus, no clear relation between Y and P can be obtained because of presence of opposite sign between Y and P.)
Hence, Only conclusion II is True.
