SBI PO 2013 PYQs

Question 1

Which of the following expressions will be true if the expression R > O = A > S < T is definitely true ?

Accepted Answer

From R > O = A > S, we can deduce R > O and O > S. Combining these, R > S, which means S < R. This makes option 2 correct.

Question 2

Which of the following symbols should replace the question mark (?) in the given expression in order to make the expressions ‘P > A’ as well as ‘T < L’ definitely true ? P > L ? A ≥ N = T

Accepted Answer

To make P > A true, we need P > L ≥ A. To make T < L true, we need L ≥ A ≥ N = T, so L > T. Thus, '≥' is the correct symbol.

Question 3

Which of the following should be placed in the blank spaces respectively (in the same order from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that makes the expression ‘A < P’ definitely false ? ___ < ___ < ___ > ___

Accepted Answer

To make 'A < P' definitely false, we need 'A ≥ P'. Option 4: N < A < P > L. This implies A < P, which makes 'A < P' true. Thus, option 4 is incorrect. The correct option is not provided in the question.

Question 4

Which combination represents E’s favourite subject and the standard in which he studies ?

Accepted Answer

To determine E's favorite subject and standard, locate 'E' in the provided data. Identify the corresponding subject and standard associated with E. The data shows E's favorite subject is Civics and he studies in 6th standard.

To answer this, we need the full context of the data sufficiency problem. Without the statements, it's impossible to determine who studies in the 7th standard.

Question 7

Which of the following combinations is definitely correct ?

Accepted Answer

Without the actual puzzle or context, it's impossible to explain the specific steps. However, the correct answer is derived by carefully applying all given conditions to eliminate incorrect pairings and identify the one definite combination.

Accepted Answer

To find the code for 'makes', identify the common word in the given sentences and its corresponding common code. 'makes' is unique to one sentence, so its code is the one not shared.

Question 14

How many steps will be required to complete the given input ?

Accepted Answer

Analyze the given input-output sequence to identify the transformation rules applied in each step. Count the total number of distinct operations required to reach the final output from the initial input.

Question 15

Which of the following is the third element from the left end of step VI ?

Accepted Answer

Without the actual steps of the machine input/output, it's impossible to determine the third element from the left end of step VI. The question is incomplete.

Question 16

Which of the following is step III of the given input ?

Accepted Answer

The input-output logic involves arranging words alphabetically and numbers in ascending order, alternating. Step III places 'girl' and '48' correctly, then 'family' and '32', followed by 'beautiful' and '17'.

Question 17

What is the position of “nice” from the left end in the final step ?

Accepted Answer

Without the initial steps or context, it's impossible to determine the position of 'nice'. The question is incomplete.

Question 18

Which element is third to the right of ‘family’ in Step V ?

Accepted Answer

To solve this, one must first correctly derive Step V based on the given rules. Then, locate 'family' in Step V and count three positions to its right to find the element '17'.

Question 19

What should come in place of the question mark (?) to establish that J is the brother of T in the expression ? J ÷ P % H ? T % L

Accepted Answer

To establish J as T's brother, J must be male and related as a sibling. The symbol '×' means 'brother of'. Placing '×' makes J the brother of H, and H the brother of T, thus J is T's brother.

Question 20

Which among the given expressions indicate that M is the daughter of D ?

Accepted Answer

Analyze each option by decoding the symbols. Option 2: L+R means L is father of R. R$D means R is mother of D. D+M means D is father of M. M×T means M is sister of T. Thus, M is daughter of D.
