1. Let the cost of 1 kg of Apple and nuts be x and y respectively.
According to question,
1800 = 12 x
x = Rs. 150
Also,
5 y = 20 x
y = (20 150)/5
y = Rs. 600
Thus cost of 1 Kg of nuts = Rs. 600
Let us suppose the quarterly income of Ritu be I. Thus,

1|Page
I = 68 600
I = Rs. 40800
We know that,
Annual income = 4 Quarterly income
Annual income of Ritu
= 4 40800
= Rs. 163200
Hence the annual salary of Ritu is Rs. 1,63,200
2. We know that, average = Sum of all quantities/Number of quantities
Average marks = Sum of marks in all subjects/Number of subjects
Average of 4 subjects is 60%,
60 = Sum of marks of 4 subjects/4
Sum of marks of 4 subjects = 60 4 = 240
Let the number of remaining subjects be x
Average of x subjects is 72%,
72 = Sum of marks in x subjects/x
Sum of marks in x subjects = 72x
Total number of subjects = x + 4
Total marks obtained in (x + 4) subjects = 240 + 72x
Average of (x + 4) subjects is 64%,

2|Page
240+72
64 = +4
64 (x + 4) = 240 + 72x
64x + 256 = 240 + 72x
8x = 16
x=2
Number of remaining subjects = 2
Total no. of subjects = 4 + 2 = 6
3. Let the investment made by Hariprasad and Madhusudan be 2m and 3m

respectively.
Then we are given that
(2m + 10000) : 3m = 3 : 2
2 (2m + 10000) = 3 3m
4m + 20000 = 9m
20000 = 9m 4m
5m = 20000
m = 20000/5
m = 4000
Hence, original investment made by Hariprasad is
= 2m
= 2 4000
3|Page
= 8000

4. Compound Interest = Principal [(1 + 100) 1]
For Jill, T = 1, R = 20, Principal = 12000
20
Compound Interest for Jill = 12000 [(1 + 100) 1] = 2400
In case of Jack, interest is compounded half yearly.
For Jack, there will be two time periods of six months each and rate of interest per six
months will be 10%.
T = 2, R = 10, Principal = 12000
10 2
Compound Interest for Jack = 12000 [(1 + 100) 1] = 12000 0.21 = 2520
Jack will earn Rs. 120 more as interest.
5. Suppose wholesaler sells to retailer at T% profit.
Then, in a series of successive selling from manufacturer to customer, the effective

selling price will be given by
Price to customer = Manufacturer cost (1 + 20/100) (1 + T/100) (1 + 10/100)
155 = 100 1.2 (1 + 0.01T) 1.1
1 + 0.01T = 1.1742
T = 17.42
Wholesaler sells to retailer at 17.42% profit.

6. Ginny bought a scooter at Rs. 30000, and sold it to Honey at a loss of 20%.
Loss made by Ginny = 20% of Rs. 30000 = Rs. 30000 (20/100) = Rs. 6000
Later, Ginny bought the scooter back from Honey at Rs. 28000.
Net Loss = 10000
To compensate for losses, Ginny must sell it now at a profit of Rs. 10000.
We know, Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) 100
Profit at which Ginny should sell the scooter = (10000/28000) 100 = 35.71%
7. Let the initial investments of Vinay and Atul be Rs. 4x and Rs. 5x respectively.
If, Vinay had invested an additional amount of Rs. 29,000; investment of Vinay and
Atul would be Rs. (4x + 29000) and Rs. 5x respectively.
Thus, according to question
4+29000 9
=4
5
16x + 116000 = 45x
29x = 116000
x = 4000
Thus, initial investments of Vinay = Rs. (4 4000) = Rs. 16,000.
8. Machines P and Q can together produce 3,60,000 m of cloth in 10 hours
Machines P and Q together produce 36,000 m of cloth in 1 hours
5|Page
Machine Q alone can produce 3,60,000 m of cloth in 18 hours
Machine Q alone can produce 20,000 m of cloth in 1 hour
So, Machine P can produce 16,000 m (36,000 20,000) of cloth in 1 hour
In 10 hours, machine P can produce = 16,000 10
Hence, in 10 hours machine P can produce = 1,60,000 m of cloth
9. P has a capacity twice of Q.
Let us suppose that capacities of tanks P and Q are 2T liters and T liters, respectively.
When tank P is filled at the rate of 2 liters per minute, it takes 20 minutes to fill more as
compared to the time taken when tank Q is filled at 3 liters per minute.
Time taken to fill tank P at 2 liters per minute = 2T/2 = T minutes
Time taken to fill tank Q at 3 liters per minute = T/3 minutes
T = 20 + (T/3)
2T/3 = 20
T = 30
Capacity of tank Q is 30 liters.
10. Assume that he walks for t hours.
Total journey time 8.5 hours.
He rides his scooter for (8.5 t) hours.
He rides a scooter at 12 km/hr.
6|Page
We know that, Distance = Speed Time
Distance travelled by scooter = 12 (8.5 t) km
He walks the remaining distance at 4.5 km/hr
Distance travelled by walking = 4.5 t km
Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in scooter + Distance travelled by walking
Total distance he has travelled = 12 (8.5 t) km. + 4.5 t km.
Rehman has to travel total journey of 72 km.
Total distance travelled = 72 km.
So, 72 km = 12 (8.5 t) km. + 4.5 t km
72 = 102 12t + 4.5t
30 = 7.5t
t = 4 hours
Distance travelled by scooter = 12 (8.5 t) km.
= 12 (8.5 4)
= 12 4.5
= 54 km
11. As per the problem statement,
Length of train B = 400 m
Since, length of train A is twice the length of train B,
Length of train A = 2 400 m = 800 m

7|Page
When a train crosses a pole, it covers a distance equal to its length (as length of pole can
be neglected when compared to length of train).
Both trains take same time to cross the pole, and we know that
Time=Distance/Speed
(Distance covered by train A)/(Speed of train A) = (Distance covered by train

B)/(Speed of train B)
Speed of train A = [800 m 60 km/hr]/400 m = 120 km/hr
Now, the trains are moving in the same direction and faster train will overtake the
slower train. In doing so, the faster train will cover a distance that is equal to the sum of
lengths of both trains.
Distance covered = Length of train A + Length of train B = 800 m + 400 m = 1200 m
The relative speed of faster train A, with respect to, slower train B will be given by
Speed of train A w.r.t. train B = Speed of train A Speed of train B = 120km/hr 60

km/hr = 60 km/hr
This speed when converted to the units of m/sec, will be [60 (5/18)] m/sec = (50/3)
m/sec
We know,Time=Distance/Speed
1200
Time taken = 50 = 72 seconds
( )/

Time taken by train A to overtake train B = 72 seconds
12. Let length of rectangle = x units and breadth = y units
side of triangle = y units

13. If three balls are picked, there can be balls of exactly two colours in the following
cases:
i) Two blue balls and one yellow ball
This can be done in 7C2 8C1 ways, i.e. 21 8 = 168 ways.
ii) Two blue balls and one green ball
iii) Two yellow balls and one blue ball
iv) Two yellow balls and one green ball
v) Two green balls and one blue ball
vi) Two green balls and one yellow ball

9|Page
Total number of ways in which it can be done = 168 + 105 + 196 + 140 + 70 + 80 =
759.
14. The pattern of the given number series is as following:
3 12 = 3,
3 22 = 12,
3 32 = 27,
3 42 = 48,
3 52 = 75,
3 62 = 108,
3 72 = 147
Hence, the required term in place of question mark in the given number series is 147
15. The pattern of the given number series is as follows:
Every third term is overall discount of previous two terms successive discount,
28 = 20 + 10 - (20 10)/100 = 30 - 2 = 28
28 = 30 + 10 - (30 10)/100 = 40 - 3 = 37
Hence, the required number in place of question mark in the given number series would
be 37
16. The pattern of the given number series is as:
10 | P a g e
16,
16 1 2 = 14,
14 2 4 = 24,
24 3 6 = 66,
66 4 8 = 256,
256 5 10 = 1270,
1270 6 12 = 7608
Hence, the required answer is 7608,
17. The pattern of given series is:
144,
173 = 144 + 29,
140 = 173 33,
169 = 140 + 29,
136 = 169 33,
Following this pattern, the next term will be:
? = 136 + 29,
? = 165
18.The pattern of given series is:
321 33 = 288
11 | P a g e
465 321 = 144 [288/2 = 144]
537 465 = 72 [144/2 = 72]
573 537 = 36 [72/2 = 36]
590 573 = 17* [36/2 = 18]
600 590 = 10* [18/2 = 9]
If we replace 590 by the number 591, then the following changes take place:
591 573 = 18 & 600 591 = 9
The difference between adjacent terms is half of the difference between previous pair.
Therefore, 590 is the wrong term.
19. Amount of first alloy = 24 kg
Amount of A = 5/12 24 = 10 kg
Amount of B = (24 - 10) = 14 kg
Amount of second alloy = 7 kg
Amount of A = 4 kg
Amount of B = 3 kg
Let the amount of metal B mixed be x kg
Total amount of A = 10 + 4 = 14 kg
Total amount of B = 14 + 3 + x = (17 + x) kg
Total weight = A + B = 14 + 17 + x = (x + 31) kg
Percentage of A in mixture = 40%

12 | P a g e
[14/(x + 31)] 100 = 40
(14 100)/40 = x + 31
35 = x + 31
x = 4 kg
Amount of metal B mixed = 4 kg
20. Total no. of people = 9
Total no. of people to be selected = 3
No. of ways of selecting 3 people out of 9 = 9C3
There are 5 females and no. of ways of selecting 3 out of them = 5C3
Probability of selecting all the females for quiz = 5C3/ 9C3 = 5/42

We have the expression:
(80 0.40)3 (40 1.6) (128)3 = (2)? + 7
323 64 (128)3 = (2)? + 7
(We know that 64 = 32 2)
(323 32 2) (128)3 = (2)? + 7
512 (128)3 = (2)? + 7

25 | P a g e
(We know that 512 = 29 and 128 = 27)
29 273 = (2)? + 7
230 = (2)? + 7
27+23 = (2)? + 7
? = 23
41. i) There is a group of seven persons A, M, C, P, E, F, and R.
ii) There are four males, three females, two married couples in the group.
iii) The seven persons are seated in a row on the bench and their professions are:
Teacher, Mechanic, Carpenter, Dentist, POLICE, Painter and Guitarist.
Here + Male; - Female
1st to 7th are ranks according to intelligence as 1st for most intelligent and 7th for least
intelligent.
Now given,
1. P is an Painter; he is sitting on the leftmost corner.
2. The Guitarist is sitting on the rightmost corner of the bench.
3. The least intelligent of the group is sitting on the immediate right of P, followed by the
most intelligent.
4. The Dentist is the most intelligent and the Mechanic is the least intelligent of the
group.
26 | P a g e
5. On the bench, followed by P, there are three females sitting in succession and the
Dentist is a female.
6. Thus all other including P are males because given in group three are females and
four are males.
7. The Carpenter is married to C. C is the second most intelligent of the group, followed
on the bench by her husband.
8. Thus C is a female & 2nd most intelligent and thus C must be sitting at 4th from the
right because only three females are there in the group. Carpenter is Cs husband which
is immediate right to C.
9. Teacher is married to the Mechanic, who is the least intelligent of the group.
10. Thus Mechanic and Teacher are also married and after placing Carpenter only 1
place is left for Teacher so he will be automatically placed.
27 | P a g e
11. M is not married and another person, the Dentist, is the most intelligent.
12. Thus M is neither Carpenter nor Teacher nor Dentist thus M is clearly a Guitarist
and is bachelor.
13. The Guitarist is more intelligent than the Painter, who is more intelligent than only
one person, F.
14. So F is least intelligent. Thus F is a Mechanic. So Painter is at 6th position and

Guitarist at 5th position.
15. Neither A nor R is a female.
16. Thus A and R are males and are either Carpenter or Teacher because only this is left
for them. Thus E is the Dentist because only she is left.
17. There are as many more intelligent persons than the Teacher as there are less
intelligent. Thus Teacher is 4th intelligent and Carpenter is 3rd intelligent because only
this intelligent position left for M.
18. Thus after filling this only C is left so she is a POLICE.
Hence the final arrangement is as follows:
28 | P a g e
Clearly, F is sitting immediate right of P.

46. Given in the question,
Each of them is of different weight:
Weight of Lenovo is twice of Samsung.
Lenovo = 2 Samsung
Samsung weights 8 and half times of Apple.
Samsung = 17/2 of Apple
Apple weights half of MI.
Apple = MI/2
MI weights half of Nokia.
MI = Nokia/2
The weight of Nokia is less than Lenovo but more than Apple.
Lenovo > Nokia > Apple
41 | P a g e
Solving this we get,
Lenovo = 17 Apple
Samsung = 8.5 Apple
Nokia = 4 Apple
MI = 2 Apple
Lenovo > Samsung > Nokia > MI > Apple.
So the lightest stone is Apple.
Lenovo = 2 Samsung
Apple = MI/2
MI = Nokia/2

42 | P a g e
Lenovo = 17 Apple
Samsung = 8.5 Apple
Nokia = 4 Apple
MI = 2 Apple
So the heaviest is Lenovo.
Lenovo = 2 Samsung
Apple = MI/2
MI = Nokia/2
Lenovo = 17 Nokia / 4
43 | P a g e
Samsung = 17 Nokia / 8
Apple = Nokia / 4
MI = Nokia / 2
Here, Nokia is heavier than Apple and MI.

II. L = N False (as L < N)
III. O > N False (as N < M > B > L > O No relation Between O and N)
IV. M is the largest True (L < N < M > B > L > O X V > C, implies M is the largest)
Hence, Only IV is true.
53. Given statement: C < D F = E B; G < D H K B; C < N > H
On combining: H < N > C < D F = E B; G < D H K B
Conclusion:
I. K being equal to G is not a possibility True (G < D H K, as K > G)
II. B being greater to N is not a possibility False (N > C < D F = E B there is no

definite relation between B and N, so it is possible)
III. B > G True (as G < D H K B B > G)
45 | P a g e
IV. F being greater to H is not a possibility True (H < N > C < D F it may be
possible)

II. P > L False (P < L)
III. I > P False (as I < P)
IV. O > N False (N > O)
Conclusion I are true
55. Given statement: G > P > Z > C; R K P > M Z; D < Z < T
On combining: R K P > M Z > D; Z > C; G > Z < T
Conclusion:
I. R Z False (as R K P > M Z R > Z)
II. G > T False (as G > Z < T clear relation between Z and T cannot be determined)
III. K > M True (K P > M K > M
IV. Z > K False (as K P > M Z K > Z)
Hence, conclusion I and III are true.

Number 6 4 3 8 2 1 7 9
Now, arranging the given numbers in ascending order:-
Number 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9
Only 3 and 9 dont change there position.
Hence, answer is two.

234 158 917 346 782
Arranging in descending order:
917 782 346 234 158
2nd highest number = 782
Middle digit of 2nd highest number = 8
73. Note: Here right turn means moving in clockwise direction and left turn
means moving in anticlockwise direction.
From statement 1: If a person walks 5m towards north from point L, and takes two
consecutive right turns each after walking 5m, he would reach point K, which is 9m
away from point S.
Here point S can be in any direction of point K. So we cant find the answer
Hence statement 1 is not sufficient to answer the question.
82 | P a g e
From statement 2: Point D is 3m towards east of point L and 5m towards the west of
point S
Clearly point L is to the west of point S.
Hence statement 2 alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Answer Key for IBPS RRB Officer Scale 1

Prelims 2017 Model Question Paper

1. Let the cost of 1 kg of Apple and nuts be x and y respectively.

Thus cost of 1 Kg of nuts = Rs. 600

Let us suppose the quarterly income of Ritu be I. Thus,

Annual income = 4 Quarterly income

Annual income of Ritu

Hence the annual salary of Ritu is Rs. 1,63,200

2. We know that, average = Sum of all quantities/Number of quantities

Average marks = Sum of marks in all subjects/Number of subjects

Average of 4 subjects is 60%,

60 = Sum of marks of 4 subjects/4

Sum of marks of 4 subjects = 60 4 = 240

Let the number of remaining subjects be x

Average of x subjects is 72%,

72 = Sum of marks in x subjects/x

Sum of marks in x subjects = 72x

Total number of subjects = x + 4

Total marks obtained in (x + 4) subjects = 240 + 72x

Average of (x + 4) subjects is 64%,

Number of remaining subjects = 2

Total no. of subjects = 4 + 2 = 6

3. Let the investment made by Hariprasad and Madhusudan be 2m and 3m

Then we are given that

Hence, original investment made by Hariprasad is

For Jill, T = 1, R = 20, Principal = 12000

In case of Jack, interest is compounded half yearly.

T = 2, R = 10, Principal = 12000

Jack will earn Rs. 120 more as interest.

5. Suppose wholesaler sells to retailer at T% profit.

Then, in a series of successive selling from manufacturer to customer, the effective

Price to customer = Manufacturer cost (1 + 20/100) (1 + T/100) (1 + 10/100)

155 = 100 1.2 (1 + 0.01T) 1.1

Wholesaler sells to retailer at 17.42% profit.

Net Loss = 10000

We know, Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) 100

Thus, according to question

16x + 116000 = 45x

Thus, initial investments of Vinay = Rs. (4 4000) = Rs. 16,000.

8. Machines P and Q can together produce 3,60,000 m of cloth in 10 hours

Machines P and Q together produce 36,000 m of cloth in 1 hours

Machine Q alone can produce 20,000 m of cloth in 1 hour

So, Machine P can produce 16,000 m (36,000 20,000) of cloth in 1 hour

In 10 hours, machine P can produce = 16,000 10

Hence, in 10 hours machine P can produce = 1,60,000 m of cloth

9. P has a capacity twice of Q.

Time taken to fill tank P at 2 liters per minute = 2T/2 = T minutes

Time taken to fill tank Q at 3 liters per minute = T/3 minutes

Capacity of tank Q is 30 liters.

10. Assume that he walks for t hours.

Total journey time 8.5 hours.

He rides his scooter for (8.5 t) hours.

He rides a scooter at 12 km/hr.

Distance travelled by scooter = 12 (8.5 t) km

He walks the remaining distance at 4.5 km/hr

Distance travelled by walking = 4.5 t km

Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in scooter + Distance travelled by walking

Total distance he has travelled = 12 (8.5 t) km. + 4.5 t km.

Rehman has to travel total journey of 72 km.

Total distance travelled = 72 km.

So, 72 km = 12 (8.5 t) km. + 4.5 t km

72 = 102 12t + 4.5t

Distance travelled by scooter = 12 (8.5 t) km.
