SBI PO 2016 PYQs

Question 1

Which of the following condition is correct regarding Pineapple fruit with respect to X?

Accepted Answer

The question asks for the correct condition regarding Pineapple fruit with respect to X. Option 3 states Pineapple fruit is related to the bowl immediately above X, which is the correct relative position.

Question 2

Four of the following five are alike in certain way as per the given arrangement and hence form a group. Which of the following does not belong to that group?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is consecutive letters in alphabetical order. A, B; D, E; F, G follow this. C, E does not, as D is skipped.

Question 3

Statements:R ≥ I > S ≥ K; V ≥ O > SConclusions:I. O < RII. K ≥ V

Accepted Answer

From R ≥ I > S and V ≥ O > S, we can deduce R > S and O > S. However, there's no direct relation between R and O, or K and V, so both conclusions are false.

Question 4

Which of the following boxesis kept immediately below G?

Accepted Answer

To answer this, we need the full arrangement of boxes. Assuming a standard box puzzle, once the arrangement is deduced, identify the box directly below G.

Question 5

Which of the following fruit belongs to ‘T’?

Accepted Answer

The question is flawed as it asks 'Which of the following fruit belongs to ‘T’?' but provides no context for 'T'. Without additional information, it's impossible to determine the correct answer.

Question 6

Who amongst the following likes Banana?

Accepted Answer

To find who likes Banana, directly refer to the provided data. The data explicitly states that C likes Banana, making option 2 the correct answer.

Question 7

Statements:D ≥ R > A < F ≤ TConclusions:I. R < TII. D ≥ F

Accepted Answer

From R > A < F, no direct relation between R and F or R and T can be established. From D ≥ R > A, D ≥ R is true, but D and F have no direct relation.

Question 8

How many boxes are kept between B and the Ribbon box?

Accepted Answer

To find the number of boxes between B and the Ribbon box, we must first establish their positions based on the given arrangement rules. Once positions are clear, count the boxes in between.

Question 9

If P is sister of J, how is J related to M?

Accepted Answer

The question only states P is J's sister. J's gender is not provided, so we cannot determine J's relationship to M. More information is needed.

Question 10

Statement:J ≥ V ≥ D < L ≤ CConclusions:I. J ≥ LII. C > D

Accepted Answer

From J ≥ V ≥ D < L, we cannot establish a definite relation between J and L due to the '<' sign. From D < L ≤ C, it is clear that C > D. So, only conclusion II follows.

Question 11

Which of the following is kept immediately below R?

Accepted Answer

To determine the item immediately below R, analyze the given arrangement rules. Deduce the complete sequence or relative positions of all items based on the provided clues to find N directly below R.

Question 12

Which of the following statements true, based on the given arrangement?

Accepted Answer

Analyze the given arrangement step-by-step to deduce the positions and directions of all individuals. After completing the arrangement, verify each statement against the final setup. Option 4 will be the only true statement.

Question 13

As per the given information, how is M related to S?

Accepted Answer

To determine the relationship, construct a family tree based on the given information. M is the husband of S's daughter, making M S's son-in-law.

Question 14

Statements:B ≥ E ≥ U < F;L = A ≤ UConclusions:I. L < FII. B ≥ A

Accepted Answer

Combine statements: B ≥ E ≥ U ≥ A = L. Also, U < F. From U < F and L ≤ U, we get L < F. From B ≥ U and U ≥ A, we get B ≥ A. Both conclusions are true.

Question 15

Which of the following boxes is rectangular in shape?

Accepted Answer

Observe the shapes of all boxes. Box N is the only one that has four straight sides and four right angles, which defines a rectangle.

Question 16

How many persons sit to the left of O?

Accepted Answer

To determine the number of persons to the left of O, we need the full seating arrangement. Without it, we cannot answer this question.

Question 17

As per the given information, how is R related to Q?

Accepted Answer

Analyze the family tree based on the given information. R is the son of Q's sibling. Therefore, R is Q's nephew. The gender of Q does not affect R's relation.

Question 18

Statement:L ≥ G > O ≤ H = A ≤ V ≤ QConclusions:I. H ≤ LII. A > G

Accepted Answer

From L ≥ G > O ≤ H, we can't establish a definite relation between H and L. From G > O ≤ H = A, we can't establish a definite relation between A and G. Thus, neither conclusion follows.

Question 19

How far is Ravi’s house with respect to point P?

Accepted Answer

The question lacks the necessary information to determine the distance of Ravi's house from point P. Without any context or data, it's impossible to calculate.

Question 20

Statement:L ≥ G > O ≤ H = A ≤ V ≤ QConclusions:I. O ≤ VII. G > Q

Accepted Answer

From the statement, O ≤ H = A ≤ V, so O ≤ V is true. For G > Q, we have G > O ≤ H = A ≤ V ≤ Q. The relation between G and Q cannot be established due to the 'O ≤ H' part.
