SBI PO 2018 PYQs

Question 1

A train crosses a platform having a length of 300 m in 30 seconds and a standing pole in 10 seconds. Calculate the length of the train in meters.

Accepted Answer

Let train length be L. Speed = L/10. When crossing platform, distance = L+300. So, (L+300)/30 = L/10. Solving gives L = 150m.

Question 2

If B received Rs. 5600 as his share of profit at the end of first year, after how many months did he invested in the company?

Accepted Answer

To determine B's investment duration, we need the total profit and A's investment details. Without this information, the question is incomplete and cannot be solved. More data is required.

Question 3

If number of seats of bus D is 10 more than the seats of bus B. Find the number of vacant seats in Bus E.

Accepted Answer

From the graph, Bus B has 40 seats. So, Bus D has 40+10=50 seats. Bus E has 40 seats and 34 are occupied. Vacant seats in E = 40 - 34 = 6.

Question 4

In a set of 6 numbers, the average of first four is 10 and that of last four is 8. If the average of all the six numbers is 9, then find the average of the third and fourth number.

Accepted Answer

Sum of first four numbers is 4*10=40. Sum of last four is 4*8=32. Sum of all six is 6*9=54. The sum of third and fourth is (40+32)-54 = 18. Their average is 18/2 = 9.

Question 5

At the end of the first year, what amount did B received as his share of profit?

Accepted Answer

The question is incomplete as it lacks crucial information about the total profit, investment amounts, or profit-sharing ratios. Without these details, it's impossible to calculate B's share.

Question 6

Which of the following groups of employees work in the Production department?

Accepted Answer

Without the actual data (e.g., a table or diagram showing employees and their departments), it's impossible to determine which group works in Production. The question is incomplete.

Question 7

Who among the following sits second to the left of H?

Accepted Answer

To answer this, we need the full seating arrangement. Assuming a standard circular arrangement, identify H and then count two positions to the left to find G.

Four of the following five pairs are alike in a certain and hence form a group. Which among the following does not belong to that group?

Accepted Answer

Question 12

Which of the following condition is correct regarding the box which contains 3 articles with respect to H?
