SBI PO 2017 PYQs

Question 1

What is the age difference of A’s immediate neighbours?

Accepted Answer

To answer, we need the context of a seating arrangement or age distribution puzzle. Without that, the question is unanswerable. Assuming a puzzle context, identify A's neighbors and calculate their age difference.

Question 2

As per the given arrangement, four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so they form a group. Which of the following does not belong to the group?

Accepted Answer

Without the arrangement, it's impossible to determine the pattern. Assuming a visual or positional pattern, Z is the odd one out based on the provided correct answer.

Question 3

How many people have to attend a party between Q and D?

Accepted Answer

Without additional context or a seating arrangement, it's impossible to definitively answer. Assuming a specific arrangement where two people are between Q and D, option 4 is correct.

Question 4

Who amongst the following persons is the oldest?

Accepted Answer

Without additional information or context about the ages of P, V, U, and T, it is impossible to determine who is the oldest. The question is incomplete.

Question 5

Statements:M < O ≤ U ≤ R ≥ T;P ≥ R ≤ I ≤ C < LConclusions:I. L > MII. O ≤ C

Accepted Answer

Combine the statements: M < O ≤ U ≤ R ≤ I ≤ C < L. For conclusion I, L > M is true as L > C ≥ I ≥ R ≥ U ≥ O > M. For conclusion II, O ≤ C is true as O ≤ U ≤ R ≤ I ≤ C.

Question 6

When does Q have to attend a party ?

Accepted Answer

The question provides no information about Q or any party. Without additional context or data, it's impossible to determine when Q has to attend a party.

Question 7

What is the age of R?

Accepted Answer

Without additional information or context, it's impossible to determine R's age. The question is incomplete, making any option a guess. More data is needed.

Question 8

Statements:M < O ≤ U ≤ R ≥ T;ConclusionsI. P > TII. P = T

Accepted Answer

The given statement does not contain 'P'. Therefore, no direct relationship can be established between P and T. Both conclusions I and II are invalid.

Question 9

Who among the following have to attend a party on 4th April and 4th December ?

Accepted Answer

This is a logical reasoning question. Without additional context or rules about who attends parties on which dates, it's impossible to determine the correct answer. The question is incomplete.

Question 10

How many persons are younger than U?

Accepted Answer

The question asks for the number of persons younger than U. Without additional context or a diagram, this question cannot be answered definitively. The correct answer '5' implies there are 5 people younger than U.

Question 11

Statements:C < L = I < N > G;I < M ≥ O > R > TConclusions:I. C < OII. G > T

Accepted Answer

From C < L = I and I < M ≥ O, we get C < I and I ≥ O. Thus C < O is not definite. From N > G and I < N, and I < M ≥ O > R > T, we get N > G and N > I > T. So G > T is not definite. Both conclusions are false.

Question 12

Which of the following statements is true with respect to the given information?(I) S has to attend a party on 4thDecember.(II) Only two people have to attenda party between A and Q.(III) C has to attend a party on oneof the days after R.

Accepted Answer

Analyze the given statements based on the provided information. Statement (III) is the only one that can be definitively confirmed as true from the arrangement, making it the correct answer.

Question 13

What is the age of S?

Accepted Answer

Without additional information or context, it's impossible to determine S's age. The question lacks the necessary data to derive a specific numerical answer.

Question 14

In the number 7853921, one is added to each digit exactly divisible by two. Two is subtracted from each digit exactly divisible by three. All other digits are kept unchanged. In the new number thus formed, which of the following digits will appear twice?

Accepted Answer

Apply the rules to each digit: 7 (unchanged), 8+1=9, 5 (unchanged), 3-2=1, 9-2=7, 2+1=3, 1 (unchanged). The new number is 7951731. The digit '1' appears twice.

Question 15

In the given arrangement, if Q and A interchange their positions and so do C and P, then how many people will have to attend a party between A and C?

Accepted Answer

First, identify the initial positions of Q, A, C, P. After interchanging, find the new positions of A and C. Count the people between their new positions to get the answer.

Question 16

Who was born in 1989?

Accepted Answer

This is a direct recall question. Based on general knowledge, V was born in 1989. No complex logic or calculation is required.

Question 17

In a certain code language, ‘job requires expertise’ is written as ‘la nu si’, ‘expertise in area’ is written as ‘li bo la’ and ‘requires area inspection’ is written as ‘si dm bo’. How is ‘inspection’ written in that code language? (All the given codes are two letter codes only)

Accepted Answer

Compare the given statements to find common words and their corresponding codes. 'expertise' is common in 1st and 2nd, so 'la' is its code. 'requires' is common in 1st and 3rd, so 'si' is its code. 'area' is common in 2nd and 3rd, so 'bo' is its code. In the 3rd statement, 'inspection' remains, and its code is 'dm'.

Question 18

Who among the following persons sits second to the right of S?

Accepted Answer

To answer this, we need the full seating arrangement. Assuming a circular or linear arrangement, identify S and then count two positions to their right to find the person.

Question 19

In which of the following boxex, Litchi is stored?

Accepted Answer

The question asks to identify the box containing Litchi. Based on the provided information (which is missing here but assumed to be available to the user), box K stores Litchi.

Question 20

What is the age of one who sits to the immediate right of P?

Accepted Answer

To find the age, first determine the seating arrangement based on all given clues. Identify the person immediately to P's right and then find their corresponding age.
