IBPS Clerk sample questions with solutions
Tap an option to check your answer. These are practice questions in the IBPS Clerk Prelims style, not copied from an official paper.
- Numerical Ability

Show answer
Answer: (C) 520. 45% of 800 = 360 and 25% of 640 = 160. 360 + 160 = 520.
- Numerical Ability
The average of five consecutive even numbers is 24. What is the largest of them?
Show answer
Answer: (B) 28. The middle number equals the average, so the numbers are 20, 22, 24, 26, 28. The largest is 28.
- Numerical Ability
The ages of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 5 and their sum is 48 years. What will be the ratio of their ages after 6 years?

Answer: (A) 2 : 3. A = 18 and B = 30. After 6 years: 24 : 36 = 2 : 3.
- Reasoning Ability
If CAT is coded as DBU, how is DOG coded?
Show answer
Answer: (A) EPH. Each letter moves one step forward: D→E, O→P, G→H, giving EPH.
- Reasoning Ability
Ravi walks 10 m north, turns right and walks 6 m, then turns right again and walks 10 m. Where is he now from the starting point?
