Bank PO Level Questions :-

Q(1 – 5) Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the three statements and give answer: –
A. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
C. If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
D. If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
E. If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

  1. What is the speed of the train whose length is 210m?
    I. The train crosses another train of 300m length running in opposite direction in 10s
    II. The train crosses another train running in the same direction at the speed of 60kmph in 30s.
    Answer – E. if the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
    Explanation :
    L1 = 210m(Given)
    From Statement I, L2 = 300m
    L1 + L2 = 210m +300m =510m
    S1 + S2 = [D/T] = 510/10 = 51m/s
    From Statement II,
    S2 = 60kmph = 60*(5/18) = 50/3 m/s
    S1 – S2 = 510/30 = 51/3 => S1-50/3 = 51/3
    S1 = 101/3 m/s
    Thus both the statements are required to answer the question.

  2. What is the man’s speed in still water?
    I. The speed of the stream is one-third of the man’s speed in still water.
    II. In a given time, the man can swim twice as far with the stream as he can against it.
    Answer – D. If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation :
    From Statement I, Speed of stream = 1/3 * Man’s speed = Man’s speed = 3* Speed of stream
    From Statement II, Man’s speed = 2* Speed of stream
    Thus both the statements are not sufficient to answer the question.

  3. What is the Ratio of male to female officers in the police force in town T?
    I. The number of female officers is 250 less than half the number of male officers.
    II. The number of female officers is 1/7 the number of male officers.
    Answer – B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation :
    From Statement I,
    Number of male officers = x
    Number of female officers = x/2 – 250
    Ratio can’t be calculated from Statement I.
    From Statement II,
    Number of male officers = x
    Number of female officers = x* 1/7
    Ratio = x/(x/7) = 7:1
    Thus Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

  4. What is the rate of the Compound Interest?
    I. A certain amount invested at the compound interest rate amounts to Rs. 1331
    II. The amount was invested for a period of three years.
    Answer – D. If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation :
    Principal is not given, We can not find the rate of CI from both statements.

  5. What is the difference between the two digits in a two-digit number?
    I. The sum of the two digits is 8.
    II. 1/5 of that number is 15 less than 1/2 of 44
    Answer – B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
    Explanation :
    Statement I not sufficient
    From statement II,
    1/5 * x = 1/2 *44 -15
    x = 35, Difference between the two digits is = 2

  6. A, B, and C together start a business with a total investment of 15000. At the end of the year, the total profit is Rs.3000. What is A’s share in the profit?
    I. A’s contribution is 3/2 times of B’s
    II. B’s contribution is twice that of C.
    III. A’s contribution is thrice that of C.
    A. I and II
    B. II and III
    C. All I, II and III
    D. Any two of the three
    E. None of the Above
    Answer – D. Any two of the three
    Explanation :
    C = x
    From I and II
    C = x, B = 2x, A = (3/2 * 2x) => A = 3x
    From II and III
    C = x, B = 2x, A = 3x
    From I and III
    C = x, A = 3x, B = (2/3 * 3x) => B = 2x
    A:B:C = 3:2:1, A’s share = (3000 * (3/6)) = 1500
    Thus any two of the three statements, are sufficient to answer the question.

  7. What is the monthly income of Mr. X?
    I. Mr. X spends 85% of his income on various items and remaining amount is saved
    II. Monthly savings of Mr. X are 4500
    III. Out of the total money spent by Mr.X in a month, one-fifth is spent on food and remaining amount of Rs.20400 on other items.
    A. Only II
    B. Only III
    C. All the given statements are Insufficient
    D. Only either II or III
    E. None of the Above
    Answer – E. None of the Above
    Explanation :
    Let the income of Mr.X = y
    From I and II
    15% of y = 4500 => y = 30000
    From II and III
    4/5th of expenditure = 20400 => Expenditure = Rs. 25500, Savings = Rs.4500
    Income = 25500 + 4500 = 30000
    From I and III
    4/5 of 85% of x = 20400
    x = 30000
    Thus any two of the three statements, are sufficient to answer the question. Ans option – None of the Above

  8. What is the present age of Rahul?
    I. The present age of Rahul is half of his father’s age
    II. After 5 years, the ratio of ages of Rahul and his father is 6:11

    A. I and II
    B. I and III
    C. Can not be determined
    D. II and III
    E. All of the Above
    Answer – A. I and II
    Explanation :
    From Statement I and II,
    Rahul’s age = x, His father’s age = 2x
    x+5/2x+5 = 6/11
    x=25 year

  9. What was the profit earned on the CP by Ramesh by selling an article?
    I. He got 15% concession on labelled price in buying that article
    II. He sold it for Rs.3060
    III. He earned a profit of 2% on he labelled price in buying that article.
    A. Only I and II
    B. Only II and III
    C. Only either I or III and II together are required
    D. All I, II and III together are required
    E. None of the Above
    Answer – D. All I, II and III together are required
    Explanation :
    Labelled price -x
    From statement I, CP = 85% of x
    From statement II and III, 2 = (3060 – x/ x)*100 x=3000
    CP= 85% of 3000 = 2550
    Thus All I, II and III together are required.

  10. What will be the share of R in the profit earned by V, R and A together?
    I. They together invested an amount of Rs.54000 for a period of 1 year
    II. R’s investment was 25% less than V’s and 50% more than A’s.
    III. The profit of V is 4000 more than that of A.
    A. I and II together
    B. Only II
    C. II and either I or III only
    D. II and III together
    E. None of the Above
    Answer – D. II and III together
    Explanation :
    Let A’s investment = x
    From statement II
    R’s investment = 150% of x = 1.5x
    V’s investment = z = R’s investment was 25% less than V’s = 75% of z = 1.5x => 2x
    A, V, R profit ratio = x : 2x :1.5x = 2:4:3
    Let profit ratio of A, V, R be 2y, 4y and 3y
    From statement III
    4y-2y = 4000
    y =2000
    R’ share = Rs.6000
    Statement II and III together are sufficient to answer the question.
