IBPS PO Prelims Memory Based Paper (Held On: 24 August 2025 Shift 1) (Previous Year Paper)

Given: Seven persons, namely H, J, K, L, M, N, and P, joined an organization on the same month and same date but in different years - 1950, 1965, 1977, 1984, 1990, 2001, and 2012. They also prefer different hobbies, namely painting, cycling, singing, cooking, gaming, gardening, and traveling, but not necessarily in the same order. Their years of service are calculated with respect to the base year 2025.

1. N’s years of service is not an odd number.  2. Three people joined between N and the person who likes cooking, whose service years is not greater than 40 years. 

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

 

3. Four people joined between J and the person who likes cooking.

 

4. The years of service of the person who likes traveling is a multiple of 3, who joined immediately before L.  5. L doesn't like cooking.

 

6. The total years of service of N and H are a multiple of 5.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2.

 

7. The person who likes gardening has fewer years of service than H. 

 

8. More than four people joined between the person who likes gardening and the one who likes gaming.

 

9. The difference in years of service between the person who likes gaming and the person who likes singing is a multiple of 17. 

 

10. K has more years of service than the person who likes singing.  11. Only one person joined between P and the one who likes cycling.

 

This is our final arrangement,

Except for M, all others joined an organization in an even-numbered year.

Hence, the correct answer is M.

Statements: R = S > T = U ≥ V > W = X ≥ Y < Z

Conclusions:

The possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

I. Some planet being storm is a possibility.: Follows (As there is no direct relation given between the elements)

II. No metal is silent.: Doesn't follow (As there is no direct relation given between the elements)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion I follows.

The possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

I. All task being grain is a possibility.: Doesn't follow (As all task is bright and no bright is grain, so all task being grain is a possibility is not true.)

II. No silver is grain.: Doesn't follow (As there is no direct relation given between the elements.)

Hence, the correct answer is Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

The possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

I. Some signal are design.: Follows (As some signal is frame and all frame are design, so some signal are design is true.)

II. No frame is circle.: Doesn't follow (As there is no direct relation given between the elements.)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion I follows.

Key Points

• In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the base form of the verb 'translate' is incorrect.
• The given sentence is a passive voice in the present perfect tense as it links the past to the present in some way.
• The present perfect tense refers to an action or state that either occurred at an indefinite time in the past or began in the past and continued to the present time.
• The present perfect tense in a passive voice is formed by have/has + been + the past participle (here, it should be translated).
• The subject 'books' of the sentence is plural and it will take the plural verb 'have'.
• Therefore, the past participle form of the verb 'translated' should be used in place of the base form of the verb 'translate'.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: Her books have been translated into 24 languages.

The correct answer is 'E' i.e. No error.

Hence, the correct answer is option 5.

Key Points

• In the second part of the given sentence, the third-person present singular form of the verb 'sings' is incorrect.
• The subject 'birds' in the given sentence is a plural subject.
• The plural form of the verb 'sing' should be used with the plural subject 'birds'.
• Therefore, the plural form of the verb 'sing' should be used in place of the third-person present singular form of the verb 'sings'.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct sentence: The birds always sing early in the morning.

<br>

Additional Information

Key Points

• In the second part of the given sentence, the use of the base form of the verb 'win' is incorrect.
• The given sentence is the third conditional sentence explaining that present circumstances would be different if something different had happened in the past.
• When using the third conditional, we use the past perfect (i.e., had + past participle) in the if-clause and the modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.) + have + past participle in the main clause.
• We use the ''past perfect'' tense to talk about the impossible past condition and ''would + have + past participle'' to talk about the impossible past result.
• Therefore, the past participle form of the verb 'won' should be used in place of the base form of the verb 'win'.
