Solutions:
1. The paragraph is pointing out the various data associated with banking in India since
Independence, their growth/ decline, distribution and related figures. Thus option 2 is
the correct answer.
2. Options 1,3 and 4 are complete opposites of what can be deciphered from the
paragraph. Option 5 gives only one of the many things listed in the paragraph. Option 2
on the other hand lists all the key findings and is the correct answer.
3. The following sentence from the paragraph, On the other hand only 15 per cent of
bank offices were located in towns with population of 10,000 and lesser. shows that
option 5 is correct.
4. The word comparatively in context of the given paragraph refers states that are
better off in relation to other states. The other options except absolutely are synonyms
of the given word. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
5. The following sentence in the given paragraph states It would be seen that out of the
92 offices of the foreign banks, 75 offices were located in four States of the country i.e.
Maharashtra, 23; West Bengal, 25; Delhi, 17; and Madras 10. Punjab and Kerala had 4
offices each, making option 1 is the correct answer.
6. The following sentence of the passage states that Out of the remaining 68 scheduled
banks 15 banks are of foreign origin. Hence option 5 is the correct answer.
7. The scheduled banks are 76 and these can be grouped under (i) the Public Sector;
and (ii) the Private Sector. From this sentence in the paragraph it is evident that option
2 is the answer.
2|Page
8. Confidence in reference to the given paragraph means the act of faith or believe in
something. In this context, reliance is the best fit answer. The other words relate to 'self
confidence' and thus is not suitable in the context of the sentence.
9. The reduction in the number of nonscheduled banks has been phenomenal -- from
473 to mere 33.... From this sentence it can be concluded the solution 3 is the best fit
answer.
10. The following sentence of the passage states that The Banking institutions in India
can be broadly grouped under two categories viz., (i) scheduled, and (ii) non-scheduled.
Thus option 1 is the correct answer.
11. The passage is talking about the initiatives taken by the State Banks Staff Union to
withdraw the merger of banks with SBI. And then it moves on to give some facts.
The meanings of the words mentioned in the options are as follows:
1.
Dissuade: persuade (someone) not to take a particular course of action.
2.
Urge: try earnestly or persistently to persuade (someone) to do
something.
3.
Disinclined: unwilling or reluctant.
4.
Goad: provoke or annoy (someone) so as to stimulate an action or
reaction.
5.
Accredit: give credit to (someone) for something.
We can easily eliminated disinclined and accredit as they are out of the context of the
passage. We can also eliminate dissuaded because the decision to merge the banks has
already been taken. We want a word that will go with withdraw the efforts of this
decision. We could have used dissuaded if the decision wasnt made or if wanted to say
that they wanted to dissuade the authorities from the merger. But here they are talking
3|Page
about withdrawal of the merger. So it must be that they are encouraging the withdrawal
of the merger.
This leaves us with two words urged and goaded. Goaded is a negative word, so it
can also be eliminated. Thus, urged, the usage of which conveys that the State Banks
Staff Union has requested the Union government about something, makes a clear sense
when used in place of the first blank. Hence, the correct answer is urged.
12. Within the context of the given passage, The State Banks Staff Union urges the
government and State Bank India to withdraw the merger of the five associate banks of
the latter. Such crucial information will be contacted to the management rather than
the disciplinary committee, consultancy or the staff. Office could have also filled the
blank, but management is more apt in the context. Hence management is the correct
answer.
13. Here the context is that of the SBI looking for merger of the Associate banks with
SBI itself. Hence a reflexive pronoun has to be used in relation to it. Reflexive pronoun
for a singular subject is itself, which is the correct answer.
14. The State Banks Staff Union is an organization that has raised concerns over the
merger. An organization is a permanent structure as opposed to an assembly that
gathers for a common purpose temporarily. Clearly the Union is a permanent structure
and hence cannot be termed an assembly. So, the correct answer is only Organization.
15. Logically, merging two banks would lead to closure of several branches of at least
one bank. Closure means an act or process of closing something. Thus, 3 is the correct
answer.
16. Had option 4 been announcement instead of announce, it could have been
considered as an apt choice. Quote is also incorrect as quotes are not given with a
purpose rather they are parts of longer speeches and quotes are picked out of them to
fit another context. Whenever something official is said by an official individual or a
4|Page
group, it is in the form of a statement given to the press. Hence, statement is the
correct answer.
17. Clarification regarding an action by any organization is given either by the officials
or the authorities of the organization. Hence, 5 is the correct answer.
18. The whole passage is talking about the effects of merging the banks which would be
in the form of shutting down of the banks. Amalgamation also means the same as
merger. Hence both amalgamation and merger can fit in the blank.
Coalition is a willing union of two or more parties. In this case, the merger is not with
the consent of the workers of the Associate banks, hence the merger cannot be called a
coalition. Severance which means the action of ending a connection or relationship is
an antonym of merging. Hence option 5 is the correct answer.
19. All these are synonyms and fit the blank appropriately. Hence, 5 is the correct
answer.
20. The sentence suggests uncertainty about the exact number of banks as a numerical
figure is mentioned after the blank. Hence almost is the best fit for the blank. Most
and several cannot be followed by a definite numerical figure.
You can say:
(1) There were several hundred people missing.
But you cannot say
(2) There were several four hundred people missing.
In the first case, they are talking about any number in the hundreds between 101 to 999.
So we can use several before hundred. But four hundred is a definite number and so
several cannot be used before it.
Informally does not fit the context and can be excluded. Hence, the correct answer is
almost.

21. The sun had set last evening and the artist recreated it later that night. This means
that both the actions were in the past. So the use of the future tense in part 2 of the
sentence is wrong. We need to correct this as follows The sight of the sun setting last
evening gave the artist
22. The wrong participle has been used to describe the baby. The baby is unconcerned
about everything else. The error is therefore in part 4 of the sentence. The word should
be the past participle and not present participle. The corrected sentence would be How
sweetly the baby sleeps in the mothers lap unconcerned about everything else.
23. The error lies in the part 3 of the sentence where who needs to be replaced with
whom. The relative pronoun whom is used to further describe the object of the
sentence the only man in the whole campus so the form of the pronoun should be in a
form that can replace the object. Thus the corrected sentence would read This is the
only man in the whole campus whom you can trust completely.
24. Where has is wrong usage of relative pronoun. We are trying to describe the
platform by saying that it has more than a million users. There are several ways to
correct it(A) The platform that has more than a million users
(B) The platform which has more than a million users
(C) The platform where there are more than a million users
So the error is clearly in part 2 of the sentence. The best way to fix it would be in method
(A).
25. At is the wrong preposition to be used here. ISRO has tested the spacecraft using a
launch vehicle. At indicates location while we want a preposition that indicates
instrument. Hence, error is in part 1 of the sentence. At should be replaced by with.
26. There is a wrong use of conjunction in the second part of the sentence. To suggest a
contrast that is unexpected in light of the first clause, the conjunction but is used. Thus
6|Page
the sentence must read Brexit may be a success but Britain does not fully understand
its ramifications.
27. You might be tempted to mark 4 as the error. But that would be wrong. Even though
the sentence is in the past, the belief was taken to be a common fact and is hence stated
in the simple present tense. The error is, in fact, in part 2 of the sentence. There are two
ways to correct the sentence. Either:
(A) In medieval Europe, it was believed that the sun OR
(B) In medieval Europe, it was a belief that the sun
28. The tense in the given sentence is wrong. The sentence has a cause and effect
structure. The effect is the closing down of prisons in Norway in the near future. So we
use will be shutting down in the future continuous tense. The cause, however, must
precede the effect.
The effect must have taken place sometime in the near past for it to be a direct cause to
the effect. So we must use the present perfect tense. The error is therefore in Part 3 of
the sentence. It needs to be corrected to as there havent been any.
29. The error in the sentence is that there is a redundant use of conjunctions. We can
either use though or but in the sentence, but we cannot use both. Since we cannot
drop though in the first part of the sentence since there is a comma (,) present in the
second part after which , we must drop but in the third part of the sentence. Thus the
error is in part 3.
30. The error in the sentence is the mistake in the preposition used in part 4. The
preposition on should be changed to by. This is because the watch is an instrument
through which we tell time. So you need to use the preposition by. Thus there is an
error in part 4.

31. We will solve both the equations separately.

Equation I:
1225 + 4900 = 0
35x + 70= 0
x = (- 2)
Equation II:
(81)1/4y + (343)1/3 = 0
3y + 7 = 0
y = - 7/3 = - 2.33
Comparing the values of x and y we get,
x>y

q2 6q + 5q 30 = 0
q(q 6) + 5(q 6) = 0
(q 6) (q + 5) = 0
q = 6, - 5
Comparing the values of p and q, we get,
One value of q is greater than p and one is smaller. So, relation cannot be determined.

39. Let assume the age of the girl is x years.

We know, Average of quantities =sum of all quantities/no. of quantities
Three years ago, the average age of a family of 4 members was 14 years.
Sum of ages of all four family members three years ago = 14 4 = 56 years
Today, each of the four member ages by 3 years.
the total age of the 4 members of the family = 56 + (4 3) = 68 years.
A girl having been born, the average of the family is the same today i.e. 14 years.
14 = (68 + x)/5
68 + x = 70
x=2
The age of the girl is 2 years.
40. According to the given information,

60. Formulas to be used:SI, SI = (P r t)/100

For CI:
= (1 + 100)
Where SI is Simple interest,

A is the amount at the end of time t,
P is the principal,
t is time in years.
r is annual rate of interest
A man borrowed Rs. 800 at 10% p.a. SI for 2 years.
SI = (800 10 2)/100
SI = 160
Thus amount which he has to return = P + SI = 800 + 160
Amount which he has to return = 960
He lent the whole sum, i.e., Rs. 800 he borrowed at 10 % p.a. CI for 2 years.
Amount which he will receive = 800 (1 +
A = 800 1.12
A = 968
Amount he earns = 968 -960 = Rs. 8

61. Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,
Step-1-Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first,
Step-2-Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next,
Step-3-Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are
calculated,
Step-4-Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and
'Subtraction' should be calculated.
Now, given expression:
(40% of 1,965 74) ? = 4,847 22
(0.4 1,965 74) ? = 4,847 4
(786 74) ? = 1211.75
58164 ? = 1211.75
? = 58164/1211.75
? = 48

Sum of three numbers = 98
x + y + z = 98 ..(1)
Given that the ratio of first number to the second = 2:3
x/y = 2/3
x = 2y/3 (2)
Similarly the ratio of second number to the third = 5:8
y/z = 5/8

Let's Assume there are 20 poles named P1 to P20, also it is given that the poles are placed
at equal distances between them, Let the distance between 2 consecutive poles is x
If the car is at 2nd Pole or Pole P2 the Distance covered by the car is x
When the Car is at pole 12 or P12 the distance covered by the car is 11x
Speed Time = Distance
Given time taken to reach 12th Pole = 24 secs.
Let the Speed of the Car = S m/sec
And Distance Covered = 11x
(11x) = 24 S .... (i)
Similarly
When the Car is at pole 20 or P20 the distance covered by the car is 19x
Speed Time = Distance
Let time taken to reach 20th Pole = t secs.
Speed of the Car = S m/sec
And Distance Covered = 19x
(19x) = t S .... (ii)
From Equations (i) & (ii)
19x = t (11x / 24)
t = (19/11) 24

81. According to the question, we have 7 individuals Alan, Barton, Dana, Kyle, Peter,
Remus and Sarah.
Considering the information provided in the question:
Sarah weights more than Barton and Alan. Hence Sarah > (Alan, Barton).
Remus weights less than only Kyle. Hence Kyle is the heaviest followed by Remus at
second place. Kyle > Remus > Sarah > (Alan, Barton)
36 | P a g e
Peter weights as much as Sarah but less than Dana. Hence Dana is heavier than
everyone except Kyle and Remus. Kyle > Remus > Dana > Peter = Sarah > (Alan,
Barton)
Alan does not weigh the minimum. Hence Alan is heavier than Barton. Kyle > Remus >
Dana > Peter = Sarah > Alan > Barton
So the final arrangement is:
Kyle > Remus > Dana > Peter = Sarah > Alan > Barton
Hence we can conclude that Dana is the 3rd heaviest individual.

83. Statement: T < U P; R N U < H = S

Let us check each conclusion one by one.
I) T < S as T < U; U < H = S T < U < H = S T < S True
II) P = R as U P; R N U R N U P R P False
III) R < P as U P; R N U R N U P R P False
Now since conclusions (II) and (III) together are true, so they will form pair and either
case will be true.
Therefore, only (I) and either (II) or (III) follow.
84. Statement: U > Y < W; M < Y > I K = O L

Let us check each conclusion one by one.
I) W > M as Y < W; M < Y W > M True
II) L I as I K = O L I L True
III) U > O as U > Y; Y > I K = O U > Y > I K = O U > O True
Therefore all conclusions are true.
85. Given statements:

R J > M, J L = S < N, S P
On simplifying:
R J, J > M, J L = S P, L = S < N
Conclusions:
I. P J Clearly True (as J L = S P J P)
II. R = L False (as R J and J L R J L clear relationship between R and L
cannot be determined)
38 | P a g e
III. M < N False (as J > M, J L and L = S < N, so we get, M < J L = S < N M < J
