IBPS PO Prelims Memory Based Paper (Held On: 23 August 2025 Shift 4) (Previous Year Paper)

Given: Eight individuals, viz., P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, are associated with eight different joining years - 1954, 1960, 1967, 1974, 1976, 1987, 1998, and 2002, but not necessarily in the same order. They each prefer eight different famous state foods, viz., Dhokla, Biryani, Litti Chokha, Appam, Dal Baati, Rogan Josh, Poha, and Makki di Roti, but not necessarily in the same order. Their tenure values are to be calculated with reference to the year 2024.

1. T likes Litti Chokha and has a shorter tenure than only two people.  2. Only three people have longer tenures than P. 3. R, whose tenure value is a prime number, likes Dhokla, and the one whose tenure value is a multiple of 25 likes Makki di Roti.  4. Four persons fall between W and V in terms of joining years.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

 

5. The one whose tenure value is a multiple of 13 likes Appam. 

 

6. Q has the longest tenure among all and does not like Poha or Litti Chokha. 
7. V has a shorter tenure than U.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2.

 

8. Five people fall between the one who likes Poha and the one who likes Biryani, but V and S do not like Poha. 

 

9. The one who likes Dal Baati has a longer tenure than the one who likes Appam and a shorter tenure than the one who likes Rogan Josh. 

This is our final arrangement,

 

Hence, the correct answer is P.

Given: Rohan started walking from point A in the north direction.

1. After walking 8 m, he reached point B and turned right to cover a distance of 6 m to reach point C.
2. He then turned left from point C and walked 9 m to reach point D.

3. After that, he again turned left and walked 7 m to reach point E.
4. From point E, he took a right turn and reached the Library, which is 5 m away from point E.

The possible diagram is,

Distance = 8 + 6 + 9 + 7 = 30 m

Hence, the correct answer is 30 m.

Given: Rohan started walking from point A in the north direction.

1. After walking 8 m, he reached point B and turned right to cover a distance of 6 m to reach point C.
2. He then turned left from point C and walked 9 m to reach point D.

3. After that, he again turned left and walked 7 m to reach point E.
4. From point E, he took a right turn and reached the Library, which is 5 m away from point E.

The possible diagram is,

Shortest Distance = √(9)² + (7)² = √(81 + 49) = √130 m

Hence, the correct answer is √130 m.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The passage discusses the disparity between rising housing rents and stagnant wages as a major factor contributing to homelessness.
• It highlights how rental prices have increased significantly in urban centers while wages have not kept pace, putting low- and middle-income families at risk.
• This mismatch between income levels and housing costs is identified as causing housing insecurity and financial instability, ultimately leading to homelessness.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Increased population growth is not mentioned as a significant factor in the passage.
• Option 3: Decreased urban housing demand contradicts the passage’s mention of increased demand for urban housing.
• Option 4: Government intervention is discussed as a necessary measure to address homelessness, not as a contributing factor.
• Option 5: Decline in speculative investments is not mentioned as a factor contributing to homelessness.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• The passage mentions that roughly 50% of renters are spending more than 30% of their income on housing costs.
• Spending more than 30% of one's income on housing is identified as a benchmark that often signals housing insecurity.
• When such a large portion of income is spent on housing, it can lead to financial instability and increase the risk of homelessness.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Spending more than 10% of income is not mentioned as a benchmark for housing insecurity.
• Option 2: Spending more than 20% of income is not mentioned as a benchmark for housing insecurity.
• Option 4: Spending more than 40% of income is not mentioned as a benchmark for housing insecurity in the passage.
• Option 5: Spending more than 50% of income is not mentioned as a benchmark for housing insecurity in the passage.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'.

 

Key Points

• A) Decreased use of emergency services such as shelters and hospitals.
• This can be inferred from the passage. The passage explicitly mentions that communities adopting the Housing First model have reported significant improvements in housing retention rates and reductions in the use of emergency services.
• B) Increased employment rates among homeless individuals.
• This cannot be inferred from the passage as there is no mention of employment rates in relation to the Housing First model.
• C) Decreased demand for urban housing.
• This cannot be inferred from the passage as the demand for urban housing is influenced by various factors not directly related to the Housing First model.
• D) Increased real estate market dynamics.
• This cannot be inferred from the passage as real estate market dynamics are influenced by broader economic factors and speculative investments.
• E) Greater speculative investments in property markets.
• This cannot be inferred from the passage as speculative investments are typically unrelated to homelessness solutions.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect because the passage does not link the Housing First model directly to increased employment rates among homeless individuals.
• Option 3: Incorrect because decreased demand for urban housing is not related to the Housing First model.
• Option 4: Incorrect because increased real estate market dynamics are not influenced by the Housing First model.
• Option 5: Incorrect because greater speculative investments in property markets are unrelated to homelessness solutions.

The correct answer is 'sobriety'.

 

Key Points

• The word "sobriety" refers to the state of being sober and not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• The Housing First model aims to provide housing without preconditions such as sobriety, allowing individuals to have stable housing as a foundation to address other issues.
• The other options: "security," "mental health," "family support," and "education" do not fit the context as appropriately.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Complete Sentence: One promising approach is the "Housing First" model, which prioritises providing permanent housing to individuals experiencing homelessness without preconditions such as sobriety or employment.

Additional Information

• Security (सुरक्षा): means the state of being free from danger or threat.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• Statement A: Approximately 50% of renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs.

• Statement B: The Housing First model includes preconditions such as sobriety.
• The passage mentions that the Housing First model does not include preconditions such as sobriety.
• Statement C: Stable housing is crucial for addressing the underlying causes of homelessness.
• This statement is correct as it aligns with the information provided in the passage about the importance of stable housing.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Only B.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• Statement A: Policy interventions to address high rental costs include rent control and affordable housing development.
• This statement is correct as it accurately reflects the context provided in the passage about policy interventions to make housing more accessible.
• Statement B: Personal crises are not considered a cause of homelessness.
• This statement is incorrect because the passage clearly mentions personal and family crises as one of the causes of homelessness.
• Statement C: Communities using the Housing First model have seen increases in speculative investment in property.
• This statement is incorrect as the passage does not indicate any link between the Housing First model and speculative investment in property.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Only A.

The correct answer is: substantial.

• Example: The new park covers roughly 10 acres of land.
• "exactly" means in a precise manner or without any error. (ठीक)

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors in syntax, tense, or vocabulary.
• The word "Until" is used correctly as a subordinating conjunction to indicate a time-based condition (up to the point that).
• The use of the present perfect tense ("have purchased") in the subordinate clause to refer to a completed action in the future is a standard and correct grammatical construction.
