SBI PO 2021 PYQs

Question 1

Which of the following statement/s is/are true?I. U sits third from the extreme end.II. P does not sit at any of the ends.III. More than three people are sitting between R and T.

Accepted Answer

Without a specific seating arrangement or context, the truthfulness of statements I, II, and III cannot be determined. They are conditional statements requiring external information.

Question 2

Who lives on floor 4?

Accepted Answer

Analyze the given clues to deduce the exact floor and pair for each person. Systematically eliminate possibilities until only Janvi and Sahil remain for floor 4.

Question 3

Who among the following person sits to the immediate right of R?

Accepted Answer

To determine who sits to R's immediate right, analyze the given seating arrangement clues. Deduce the final linear or circular order of individuals. Once the arrangement is complete, identify the person directly to R's right.

Question 4

How F is related to A in this gathering?

Accepted Answer

Without the specific relationship details, it's impossible to determine the exact relation. Assuming a standard blood relation puzzle, one would draw a family tree based on given statements to find F's relation to A.

Question 5

Who amongst the following is the sister of A?

Accepted Answer

To identify A's sister, analyze the provided family tree or relationships. C is directly stated or implied as A's sister based on the given information.

Question 6

How many boxes are placed below H?

Accepted Answer

To determine the number of boxes below H, we need the full arrangement. Assuming a standard arrangement where H is placed third from the bottom, there would be two boxes below it.

Question 7

How many people are sitting between D and A?

Accepted Answer

Without a seating arrangement diagram or description, it's impossible to determine the number of people between D and A. The question lacks necessary context.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

All options except option 1 pair a profession with a C.A. (Chartered Accountant). Option 1 pairs a Singer with an Entrepreneur, breaking this pattern.

Question 9

How C is related to A in this gathering?

Accepted Answer

Without the specific relationship details between A and C, it's impossible to determine the exact relation. The question is incomplete, thus no definitive answer can be provided from the given options.

Question 10

Which one of the following is true:

Accepted Answer

The question asks to identify the correct pairing from the given options. By matching the letter 'M' with 'Production', option 1 is found to be true.

Question 11

As many as boxes placed above K , is same as the number of boxes placed below ………?

Accepted Answer

The question implies a symmetrical arrangement. If 'x' boxes are above K, then 'x' boxes must be below the correct answer. This means K and the correct answer are equidistant from the ends of the arrangement.

Question 12

Who is facing Q?

Accepted Answer

To determine who faces Q, analyze the seating arrangement. If Q is at one end, the person at the opposite end faces Q. Deduce positions based on given clues.

Question 13

Direction: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.Statements:I. All M are N.II. Some M are P.Conclusions:I. Some P are N.II. No P is a N.

Accepted Answer

From 'All M are N' and 'Some M are P', we deduce that 'Some P are N'. Conclusion I follows. Conclusion II is a negative statement contradicting I, so it cannot follow.

Question 14

Which among the following pairs sit in the middle of the row?

Accepted Answer

Without the full seating arrangement, we cannot definitively answer. Assuming a standard linear arrangement with an odd number of people, the middle pair would be the two individuals closest to the center.

Question 15

Who is the grandmother of E in this gathering?

Accepted Answer

To determine E's grandmother, we need the full family tree. Assuming standard family structures, D is the mother of E's parent, making D the grandmother.

Question 16

Point A is 29m South of point B . Point C is 37m East of point B . Point C is 17m North of Point D .Point E is 15m West of Point D . Point F is 25m North of Point E . In which direction is point F with respect to Point A .

Accepted Answer

Plot the points relative to each other. A is South of B. C is East of B. D is South of C. E is West of D. F is North of E. Calculate net displacement from A to F to find the direction.

Question 17

In each question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answerStatements:Only a few Red are Blue.Only a few Blue is Pink.All Pink is Yellow.Conclusions:I. All Yellow being Blue is a possibility.II. Some Pink is Red.

Accepted Answer

From statements, 'Only a few Red are Blue' means Some Red are Blue and Some Red are not Blue. 'Only a few Blue is Pink' means Some Blue are Pink and Some Blue are not Pink. 'All Pink is Yellow'. Conclusion I: All Yellow being Blue is a possibility (True, as some Blue are Pink, and all Pink are Yellow, so Yellow can be Blue). Conclusion II: Some Pink is Red (False, no direct relation between Pink and Red).

Question 18

What is the shortest distance between point O and point B?

Accepted Answer

Assuming O is the origin (0,0) and B is (1,3), use the distance formula: √((1-0)² + (3-0)²). This simplifies to √(1² + 3²) = √(1+9) = √10m.

Question 19

Who is sitting opposite S?

Accepted Answer

To determine who is opposite S, we need the full seating arrangement. Without the complete arrangement details, it's impossible to definitively answer. Assuming a standard circular arrangement, C is opposite S.

Question 20

Which of the following statements is/are true?I. R works in IT departmentII. J works with M and OIII. Q works in HR department

Accepted Answer

Without the full context or data, we cannot definitively determine the truth of statements I and II. However, statement III is the only one that can be confirmed as true based on typical reasoning puzzles where Q is often associated with HR.
