r From I: multiple of L.C.M of 6, 9 and 12
i x2 + 16x + 63 = 0 L.C.M of 6, 9 and 12 = 36
a Or, x2 + 7x + 9x + 63 = 0 Smallest multiple of 36 between 100 and 650 = 108
f Or, x(x + 7) + 9(x + 7) = 0
f Largest multiple of 36 between 100 and 650 = 648
A Or, (x + 7)(x + 9) = 0 Common difference = 36
Or, x = -7, -9 Let the required number of term is 'n'
t From II:
n So, 108 + (n - 1) × 36 = 648
e y2 + 12y + 35 = 0 Or, n - 1 = (648 - 108) ÷ 36 = 15
r Or, y2 + 5y + 7y + 35 = 0 So, n = 15 + 1 = 16
r Or, y(y + 5) + 7(y + 5) = 0 So, there are 16 numbers between 100 and 650 which are

l
h -7 < -5 So, initial investment done by Anil = 8x × (11/8)
t -7 = -7 = ₹11x
n -9 < -5 And, initial investment done by Vikas = (8x + 8x × 0.5) = 12x
o Profits sharing ratio of Suresh, Anil and Vikas
M -9 < -7
So, x ≤ y = (8x × 12):(11x × 12):(12x × 4) = 8:11:4
50. Answer: (B) Required profit = 1200 × {(8 + 11 + 4)/(11 - 8)}
154 - 12 × 1 = 142 = ₹9200
142 - 12 × 2 = 118 60. Answer: (D)
118 - 12 × 3 = 82 Let the present age of 'A' be '4x' years
82 - 12 × 4 = 34 So, present age of 'C' = 4x × (5/4) = 5x years

 IBPS PO Prelims Model Papers
Age of 'A' 4 years ago from now = (4x - 4) years {(5x - x + 2x + 2)/(5x + 10 - x - 2)} = (4/3)
Age of 'B' 1 year ago from now = {(4x - 4)/0.8} Or, {(6x + 2)/(4x + 8)} = (4/3)
= (5x - 5) years Or, {(3x + 1)/(2x + 4)} = (4/3)
And, present age of 'B' = (5x - 5 + 1) = (5x - 4) years Or, 9x + 3 = 8x + 16
According to question: Or, x = 13
5x - 4 + 5x = (28 × 2) Initial quantity of the mixture = (10 × 13 + 10)
Or, 10x - 4 = 56 = 140 litres
Or, 10x = 60 66. Answer: (A)
Or, x = 6 Let the cost price of article 'A' and article 'B' be 'Rs. '100x' and
So, present age of 'A' = 4x = (4 × 6) = 24 years. ₹'100y', respectively
61. Answer: (A) So, marked price of article 'A' = 100x × 1.6 = ₹'160x'
Mohan's rent expense in 2021 = 35000 × 0.2 And, marked price of article 'B' = 100y × 1.45
= ₹7,000 = ₹'145y'
Remaining income = 35000 - 7000 = ₹28,000 Now, selling price of article 'A' = 160x - 160x × 0.25
u Mohan's grocery expense in 2021 = 28000 × 0.3 = ₹'120x'
r
u = ₹8,400 And, selling price of article 'B' = 145y - 145y × 0.2
g Mohan's savings in 2021 = 35000 - (7000 + 8400) = ₹'116y'
= ₹19,600 Profit earned from article 'A' = 120x - 100x = ₹'20x'
m
a Mohan's rent expense in 2022 = 7000 × 1.15 Profit earned from article 'B' = 116y - 100y = ₹'16y'
x = ₹8,050 According to question:
E Mohan's grocery expense in 2022 = 8400 + 550 20x = 16y
= ₹8,950 Or, x = (4y/5)
t Mohan's savings in 2022 = 19600 + 400 = ₹20,000 Cost price of article 'A' = 100 × (4y/5) = ₹'80y'
s So, Mohan's income in 2022 = 8050 + 8950 + 20000 = Required percentage = {(116y - 80y)/80y} × 100
e ₹37,000 = 45%
T So, increase in income = 37000 - 35000 = ₹2,000 67. Answer: (C)
e 62. Answer: (A) Let the age of 'C' four years hence from now will be '8x' years
n Let the cost price of article 'A' be ₹100x' So, present age of 'C' = (8x - 4) years
i Therefore, cost price of article 'B' = ₹(7000 - 100x) And, age of 'B', 4 years ago from now = 8x × (5/8)
sln Marked price of article 'A' = 100x × 1.3 = 130x = '5x' years
eO Marked price of article 'B' = (7000 - 100x) × 1.25 = ₹(8750 - Present age of 'B' = (5x + 4) years
i
r 125x) Present age of 'A' = (5x + 4 - 4) = '5x' years
e Selling price of article 'A' = 130x × 0.8 = ₹104x According to question:
s Selling price of article 'B' = (8750 - 125x) × 0.9 = ₹(7875 - 5x + 8x - 4 = 48
t 112.5x) Or, 13x = 52
s Profit earned on article 'A' = (104x - 100x) = ₹4x Or, x = 4
e Profit earned on article 'B' = 7875 - 112.5x - 7000 + 100x = Present age of 'A' = (5 × 4) = 20 years
t ₹(875 - 12.5x) Present age of 'B' = (5 × 4 + 4) = 24 years
e As per question: Required average = {(20 + 24)/2} = (44/2) = 22 years
n 875 - 12.5x - 4x = 215 68. Answer: (A)
i Or, 16.5x = 660 Time taken by 'A' alone to complete the entire work
l
n or, x = 40 = 18 ÷ 0.6 = 30 days
o Thus, cost price of article 'B' = 7000 - 100x = 7000 - (100 × 40) Time taken by 'B' alone to complete the entire work
= ₹3000 = 30 + 15 = 45 days
63. Answer: (D) Let the total work = L.C.M of 30, 45 and 20
Simple interest earned on investing ₹'Y' = (Y × 4 × 15 ÷ 100 = = 180 units
₹'0.6Y' Then, efficiency of 'B' = (180/45) = 4 units/day
Simple interest earned on investing ₹(Y - 500) = (Y - 500) × 4 × Combined efficiency of 'B' and 'C' = (180/20)
16 ÷ 100 = ₹'0.64Y - 320' = 9 units/day
According to the question, So, efficiency of 'C' alone = 9 - 4 = 5 units/day
0.6Y = 0.64Y - 320 + 160 So, time taken by 'C' alone to complete the entire work =
s Or, 0.04Y = 160 (180/5) = 36 days
r So, Y = 160 ÷ 0.04 = 4000 69. Answer: (E)
e
p 64. Answer: (E) Let the length and speed of train 'A' be 'l' metres and 's'
a Let the amount invested = ₹'Y' metre/sec
P ATQ; And speed of train 'B' = 90 × (5/18) metres/sec
l Y × 5 × 9 ÷ 100 = 5670 = 25 metres/sec
e Or, Y = 5670 ÷ 0.45 = 12600 According to question:
d So, total amount received upon investing ₹12,600 for 2 years l/s = 7
o at 10% p.a. Or, l = 7s
M
= 12600 × {1+(10/100)}2 = 12600 × (110/100)2 And, (7s+ 175) = (25 - s) × 63
= ₹15,246 Or, 7s + 175 = 1575 - 63s
65. Answer: (C) Or, 70s = 1400
Let the initial quantity of milk in the mixture be '5x' litres Or, s = 20
So, quantity of water in the mixture, initially Length of train 'A' = l = 7 × 20 = 140 metres
= (5x + 10) litres Required time taken = {(140 + 160)/20} = 15 seconds
Total quantity of the initial mixture = (5x + 5x + 10) 70. Answer: (C)
= (10x + 10) litres Base area of the cylinder = π × radius2
Quantity of the milk that has been taken out = (22/7) × radius2 = 1386
= 5x × 0.2 = 'x' litres So, radius2 = 1386 ÷ 22 × 7 = 441
Quantity of the water that has been taken out So, radius = √441 = 21 cm
= (5x + 10) × 0.2 = (x + 2) litres Curved surface area of the cylinder
Quantity of the whole mixture that has been taken out = (x + x = 2 × π × radius × height = 2 × (22/7) × 21 × 10
+ 2) = (2x + 2) litres = 1320 cm2

BF - B tells us that a mouse around a chunk of cheese looks
comical. F further builds on it by telling us that artists use this
picture to make others smile. "A mouse with its paws around a
huge chunk of cheese looks so comical that artists simply can't
refuse to use a picture that makes millions of viewers smile."
CD - C talks about cheese being the only food available to the
mice and D adds that they have no choice but to eat the
unloved product. "It turns out that cheese was the only food
available to the mice and they had no choice but to eat the
unloved product."
92. Answer: (D)
(d) is the right answer. The correct pairs are AF, BE and CD.
AF - A talks about how the populations of some types of
bacteria increase or decrease depending on the food we
choose to eat. F further builds on it by telling how they activate
genes and absorb other nutrients. "Choosing between a
sandwich or a yogurt for lunch can increase the populations of
some types of bacteria and diminish others and as their
relative numbers change, they activate different genes and
absorb different nutrients."
BD - B tells us that a specific type of gut flora helps a host
animal to detect which nutrients are missing in food. D further
builds on it by telling us that they determine how much type of
nutrient is required by the host. "Neuroscientists have found
that specific types of gut flora help a host animal detect which
nutrients are missing in food and then finely measure how
much of those nutrients the host really needs to eat."
CE - C talks about our diet being influenced by gut microbes. E
further builds on it by telling us that they affect anxiety,
depression, hypertension and a variety of other
conditions. "Gut microbes have also been shown to influence
diet and behaviour as well as anxiety, depression,
hypertension and a variety of other conditions."
93. Answer: (D)
(d) is the right answer. We need a verb in base form to follow
the modal verb CAN. The sentence tells us how a new system
can cause an explosion of AI generated images. TRIGGER
(cause something to occur) will fit here contextually.
ASCRIBE - assign. PROSCRIBE - forbid. ELUDE - avoid.
PERTURB - worry or upset.
94. Answer: (B)
In B, replace the adverb WHERE with WHEN as the former is
used to indicate location or position whereas the latter is used
to indicate a certain period of time. Thus, B is the right answer.
95. Answer: (D)
In D, replace the preposition IN with FOR so that it is parallel in
form to the preposition FOR (used after the verb KNOWN).
The phrase KNOWN FOR means to be famous because of
something. Here the sentence tells us how the king was
famous for uniting Denmark and Norway. Thus, D is the right
answer.
96. Answer: (A)
In A, replace the adverb WHEN with WHERE as the former
means AT THE TIME THAT while the latter mean AT THE
SITUATION OR CIRCUMSTANCE THAT; here the
circumstance being the limitation of movie choices. Using
WHEN here will turn the entire sentence into a past event, but

 IBPS PO Prelims Model Papers
here a contrast is being made between two different situations.
Thus, A is the right answer.
97. Answer: (C)
In C, add BEEN before the verb LEFT; HAS BEEN should be
used here as the sentence is in passive voice. Thus, C is the
right answer.
98. Answer: (D)
s In D, replace FAR OF with FAR OUT OF as the latter refers to
e
i a distance so long enough that it can't be reached. Thus, D is
r the right answer.
e 99. Answer: (B)
s The sentence tells that right from the time when chemists
t started to manufacture (produce) substances that nature never
s created, the problem (issue) of water purification has become
e complex (complicated). TAINTED (polluted) is inappropriate in
t
this context, and should be replaced with INVENTED
e (created). Thus, (b) is the right answer.
n Forgo – go without (something desirable). Jinx – curse. Facile
i
l – easy.
n 100. Answer: (D)
o The sentence tells us how pidgins are languages that are not
acquired (inherited) as mother tongues rather used (applied)
s for a restricted (limited) set of communicative functions. The
r
i use of the noun COMMUNICATION (transmission) is
a inappropriate in this context, and should be replaced with the
f adjective COMMUNICATIVE (relating to the conveyance or
f exchange of information) as it is being used to modify the noun
A
FUNCTIONS. Thus, (d) is the right answer.
t Obtained – procured. Adopted – acquired. Casual – relaxed
n and unconcerned.
