Sample questions

One question from each section of this paper, with the worked solution. The answers stay hidden until you ask for them.

Reasoning Syllogism
In the question below, two statements are followed by two conclusions. Take the statements to be true even if they seem to disagree with commonly known facts, and decide which conclusion logically follows. Statements: All pens are books. All books are papers. Conclusions: I. All pens are papers. II. Some papers are pens.
  1. A Only conclusion I follows
  2. B Only conclusion II follows
  3. C Both conclusions I and II follow
  4. D Neither conclusion follows
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: C. Both conclusions I and II follow

Two universal statements chained together carry the chain through: pens sit inside books, and books sit inside papers, so pens sit inside papers. Conclusion I follows directly. Conclusion II is the converse of I. If every pen is a paper, then the pens themselves are papers that are pens — so some papers are pens. A universal affirmative always yields its particular converse. Both follow.
Computer Knowledge Computer Fundamentals
Which part of a computer is described as its 'brain', carrying out the instructions of a program?
  1. A CPU
  2. B RAM
  3. C Hard disk
  4. D Monitor
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: A. CPU

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) fetches, decodes and executes the instructions that make up a program, which is why it is commonly called the brain of the computer. RAM holds data and instructions while they are in use but does not act on them. The hard disk stores data when the power is off, and the monitor only displays output. The CPU itself is usually divided into the arithmetic logic unit, the control unit and a set of registers.
General Awareness Banking Awareness
In banking, what does the abbreviation 'CRR' stand for?
  1. A Credit Reserve Ratio
  2. B Cash Reserve Ratio
  3. C Cash Retention Rate
  4. D Central Reserve Ratio
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: B. Cash Reserve Ratio

CRR stands for Cash Reserve Ratio. It is the proportion of a bank's net demand and time liabilities that must be kept as cash with the Reserve Bank of India. The bank earns no interest on this amount. Raising the CRR takes money out of the banking system and tightens liquidity; lowering it releases funds for lending. It should not be confused with the SLR, which may be held in cash, gold or approved securities and is retained by the bank itself.
English Language Fill in the Blanks
The sentence below has two blanks. Choose the pair of words that fits both blanks so that the sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. The new officer was ___ in her manner but ___ in her decisions, which surprised those who had expected otherwise.
  1. A harsh, cruel
  2. B kind, weak
  3. C quiet, silent
  4. D gentle, firm
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: D. gentle, firm

"But" requires the two qualities to pull against each other, and the closing clause confirms that the pairing was unexpected. "Gentle, firm" is a genuine contrast — a mild manner concealing a hard edge — and is exactly the combination that would surprise people. "Harsh, cruel" and "quiet, silent" are near-synonyms, so "but" has nothing to work with. "Kind, weak" is not really a contrast either; it is what people would have expected rather than a surprise.
Numerical Ability Simplification and Approximation
What value should come in place of the question mark? √1764 + √961 = ?
  1. A 71
  2. B 72
  3. C 73
  4. D 74
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: C. 73

Both are perfect squares worth recognising on sight. √1764 = 42, because 42² = 1764 √961 = 31, because 31² = 961 42 + 31 = 73. A number ending in 4 has a root ending in 2 or 8, and 1764 sits between 40² = 1600 and 50² = 2500, which pins it to 42. The same test on 961: ending 1 means a root ending in 1 or 9, and it sits just under 32² = 1024, so 31.
