Sample questions

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

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 audit ___ several discrepancies that the branch had managed to ___ for nearly two years.
  1. A revealed, conceal
  2. B created, discover
  3. C revealed, discover
  4. D prevented, conceal
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: A. revealed, conceal

An audit finds things rather than making them, so the first blank must be a verb of discovery. "Revealed, conceal" then completes the sense: the audit brought to light what the branch had hidden. The two halves stand in the natural opposition the sentence sets up. "Revealed, discover" leaves the branch discovering its own discrepancies, which makes nonsense of "managed to". "Created" and "prevented" both misdescribe what an audit does.
Numerical Ability Simplification and Approximation
What is the value of 12.5% of 800 + 37.5% of 240?
  1. A 190
  2. B 180
  3. C 195
  4. D 185
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: A. 190

12.5% is 1/8, so 12.5% of 800 = 800 ÷ 8 = 100. 37.5% is 3/8, so 37.5% of 240 = 240 ÷ 8 × 3 = 30 × 3 = 90. Adding: 100 + 90 = 190. Converting awkward percentages to fractions (12.5% = 1/8, 16 2/3% = 1/6, 6.25% = 1/16) is the single biggest time-saver in this section.
Reasoning Ability Syllogism
In the question below, the 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: Only a few servers are routers. All routers are switches. Conclusions: I. Some servers are switches. II. All servers are switches.
  1. A Only conclusion I follows
  2. B Only conclusion II follows
  3. C Both conclusions follow
  4. D Neither conclusion follows
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: A. Only conclusion I follows

"Only a few servers are routers" means some servers are routers and some are not — it is a stronger form of "some", carrying the extra information that the overlap is partial. Those servers which are routers are switches, since all routers are switches. So some servers are switches, and conclusion I follows. Conclusion II cannot follow. "Only a few" guarantees that some servers are *not* routers, and nothing places those servers inside the switch circle. The phrase to watch is "only a few", which appears constantly in modern banking papers and always implies a definite negative alongside the positive.
