IBPS PO sample questions with solutions
Tap an option to check your answer. These are practice questions in the IBPS PO Prelims style, not copied from an official paper.
- Quantitative Aptitude
I. x² − 7x + 12 = 0 II. y² − 9y + 20 = 0. What is the relation between x and y?
Show answer
Answer: (D) x ≤ y. x = 3 or 4 and y = 4 or 5. Every value of x is less than or equal to every value of y, so x ≤ y.
- Quantitative Aptitude
Find the next term: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ?
Show answer
Answer: (C) 127. Each term is (previous × 2) + 1. So 63 × 2 + 1 = 127.
- Quantitative Aptitude
A shopkeeper marks an article 40% above its cost price and then gives a 25% discount. What is his profit percentage?
Show answer
Answer: (A) 5%. Selling price = 1.40 × 0.75 = 1.05 times the cost price, which is a 5% profit.
- Reasoning Ability
Statement: P > Q ≥ R = S < T. Conclusions: I. P > S II. T > R
Show answer
Answer: (C) Both follow. P > Q ≥ R = S gives P > S. T > S and S = R gives T > R. Both conclusions follow.
- Reasoning Ability
Statements: All pens are books. Some books are bags. Conclusions: I. Some pens are bags. II. Some bags are books.
Show answer
Answer: (B) Only II follows. “Some books are bags” converts to “Some bags are books”, so II follows. Nothing links pens to bags directly, so I does not follow.
- English Language
Find the part with an error: “Each of the students / have submitted / the assignment / on time.”
Show answer
Answer: (B) have submitted. “Each of” takes a singular verb, so it should be “has submitted”.
How to score more in the IBPS PO mock
- Attempt Reasoning puzzles in the first 8 minutes of the section while you are fresh, and leave single questions such as inequality and syllogism for the end.
- In Quant, number series, simplification and quadratic equations are the fastest marks in the paper. Clear them before you start Data Interpretation.
- English is usually the section with the lowest cut-off, but also the one where guessing costs the most. Skip a para-jumble you are unsure about rather than risk 0.25.
