IBPS RRB Clerk Cut Off: Factors that decide the Cutoff
As mentioned above, are providing you the cut-off trends of the past three years, which will help the candidates
in identifying the difficulty level and the number of questions they are required to attempt to qualify for the
examination and to score more than the cut-off set up by the board. The cut off trend is based on the two
following factors:
1. Number of Vacancies: This factor influences the total number of vacancies released by the IBPS for the
IBPS RRB Clerk recruitment. An increase or decrease in the vacancies can fluctuate and influence the cut-
off.
2. Level Of Difficulty: The second factor is the difficulty level of the examinations. When the exam seems to
be easy, the cut-off increases, and simultaneously the more exam will be tough, the less cut-off will be
released by the recruitment board.
3. Number of candidates appearing in the examination.

𝑥(𝑥 + 12) − 8(𝑥 + 12) = 0 x = 6 km/hr
(𝑥 + 12)(𝑥 − 8) = 0 So, required downstream speed of boat = (6x + x)
𝑥 = 8, −12 = 7x = 42 km/hr
Quantity I:
Length of rectangular field = 12m 73. (b): Let width of rectangle A be ‘4x meters’

(22÷2)–1=10 = 𝑥 – 2, 𝑥 and 𝑥 + 2
and consecutive even numbers
42. (d); = 𝑦 – 2, 𝑦, 𝑦 + 2
So, 𝑦 – 2 = 9 + 𝑥 + 2
𝑦 – 𝑥 = 13 … (i)
Adding prime No. and
77 + 11 = 88 (𝑥)2 + 507 = (𝑦)2
𝑦 2 − 𝑥 2 = 507
43. (a); (7+1) × 0.5 = 4 (𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑦 − 𝑥) = 507
(4+1) × 1 = 5 (𝑥 + 𝑦) =

⇒ 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 39 … (𝑖)
(5+1) × 2 = 12 13
Solving (i) and (ii) 𝑦 = 26 and 𝑥 = 13
(12+1) × 4 =52
so smallest odd numbers = 𝑥 – 2 = 13 – 2 = 11

Population of sector C= 26000 × 52 = 7,500
62. (d): Series is Let number of females in sector A and number of males in

Number of males in sector A= (10,500−9𝑥)
Number of females in sector C= (7,500-8x)
63. (b): Series is ATQ
(10,500−9𝑥)−(7,500 − 8x) = 2500
⇒𝑥 = 500
Number of females in sector A = 4,500
Number of males in sector A= 10,500-4,500= 6,000
Number of males in sector C= 4,000
