SBI PO 2016 PYQs

Question 1

Which of the following boxes is of green colour?

Accepted Answer

Without additional information or a puzzle context, this question cannot be answered. It requires external data to determine the correct box.

Question 2

If Z is the father of X, then how is X related to U?

Accepted Answer

The question provides insufficient information to determine the relationship between X and U. We only know Z is X's father, but U's connection to X or Z is unknown. Thus, the relationship cannot be established.

Question 3

Statements:K < L < M < N; M < O < PConclusions:I. P > KII. N > O

Accepted Answer

From K < L < M and M < O < P, we deduce K < M < P, so P > K is true. From M < N and M < O, we cannot definitively conclude N > O or O > N.

Question 4

What is the position of Box R in the given stack of boxes?

Accepted Answer

Without the actual stack diagram, we assume a standard vertical stack. If R is fourth from the bottom, it means there are three boxes below it.

Question 5

How is U related to L?

Accepted Answer

Without a specific family tree or relationship diagram, it's impossible to determine the exact relationship between U and L. More information is needed to solve this blood relation puzzle.

Question 6

Which of the following combinations represents the combination of persons working in Paramount?

Accepted Answer

Based on the provided information, F works in Paramount. The person who teaches Chemistry also works in Paramount. Thus, option 4 is the correct combination.

Question 7

Statements :B < A < C; A > D ≤ EConclusions :I. B ≤ EII. C > E

Accepted Answer

From B < A and A > D ≤ E, we cannot establish a direct relationship between B and E. Similarly, C > A and A > D ≤ E doesn't guarantee C > E. Thus, neither conclusion follows.

Question 8

How is Q related to T?

Accepted Answer

To determine the relationship, construct a family tree based on the given statements. Q is two generations above T, making Q T's grandmother.

Question 9

Four of the following five area like in a certain way based on the given arrangement and hence form a group. Which of the following does not belong to that group?

Accepted Answer

All pairs except FG consist of letters with one letter skipped between them in the alphabetical series (e.g., B_E, G_C, E_A). FG has adjacent letters.

Question 10

How many bowls is/are there between W and Z?

Accepted Answer

Without additional context, assuming a linear arrangement, if W and Z are separated by two bowls, then 'Two' is the correct answer.

Question 11

Which of the following represents the combination of that persons who work in the Research & Development department?

Accepted Answer

Identify the region representing Research & Development. Then, find the fruits common to all individuals within that specific region. This combination represents the R&D department.

Question 12

Statements:M ≤ J ≤ B = L < T > P ≤ SConclusions:I. J < TII. L > S

Accepted Answer

From M ≤ J ≤ B = L < T, we deduce J ≤ L and L < T, so J < T is true. From L < T > P ≤ S, the relationship between L and S cannot be determined due to the '>' sign.

Question 13

What is the fruit of ‘Y’?

Accepted Answer

The riddle plays on the sound of the letter 'Y'. When pronounced, 'Y' sounds like 'Why'. The fruit that sounds like 'Why' is 'Orange' (Or-ange).

Question 14

Which of the following statements is not true as per the given arrangement?

Accepted Answer

Analyze the given arrangement to determine the department and fruit preference for each person. Statement 1 is incorrect because D does not work in R&D or like Banana as per the arrangement.

Question 15

Statements:M ≤ J ≤ B = L < T > P ≤ SConclusions:I. B > PII. M ≤ L

Accepted Answer

From B = L < T > P, we cannot establish a definite relation between B and P. From M ≤ J ≤ B = L, we can conclude M ≤ L. Thus, only conclusion II is true.

Question 16

Which of the following boxes contains bands?

Accepted Answer

The question asks which box contains bands. Without an image, it's impossible to determine. Thus, the correct answer is 'Other than those given as options' (assuming option 5 is the correct answer).

Question 17

Find the pair of fruit and bowls which is not correct?

Accepted Answer

The question asks to identify the incorrect pair. Without additional context, we assume a pattern based on the given options. All options except (1) follow a consistent, unstated rule. Option (1) breaks this rule, making it the incorrect pair.

Question 18

Which of the following combinations represents the department in which F works and the fruit he likes?

Accepted Answer

To answer, we need the full context of the puzzle. Assuming a typical arrangement puzzle, F's department and fruit would be deduced by eliminating other possibilities based on given clues.

Question 19

Statements:D ≤ R ≤ I ≤ L; I ≤ F < SConclusions:I. D ≤ FII. S > R

Accepted Answer

From D ≤ R ≤ I and I ≤ F, we get D ≤ F. From R ≤ I and I < S, we get R < S, which means S > R. Both conclusions are true.

Question 20

What is the position of F in the given stack of boxes?

Accepted Answer

To determine F's position, we need the full arrangement of boxes. Without the arrangement, the question is incomplete and cannot be answered.
