As some shifts have already completed of IBPS Clerk Prelims 2016-17.  We now have a better understanding of the questions asked in IBPS Clerk Prelims exam

So, for our students we have prepared a set of questions containing some of the asked questions in  IBPS Clerk Prelims 2016-17 and some based on their types.
Solving this will get you a better understanding of the questions asked in IBPS Clerk Prelims, if you still have not given your IBPS Clerk Prelims paper. 

These sets will be posted daily for all those students who have yet to give their IBPS Clerk Prelims exam, and get them ready to face the exam with confidence.










1. 1 year ago, Rajesh was six times as old as his son. Six years hence, Rajesh’s age will exceed his son’s age by 15 years. The ratio of the present ages of Rajesh and his son is?


A. 15 : 4
B. 19 : 4
C. 15 : 2
D. 17 : 2
E. None of these

Sol. Lets assume, ages of Rajesh and his son is = 6x, x

According to the question,

(6x + 1 + 6])– (x + 1 + 6) = 15
5x = 15
x = 3.

Thus, ratio = 6x + 1 : x + 1 = 19 : 4.

2. A person cover 32km downstream is 120 minutes and same person cover 48 km upstream in 720 minutes. Then find the rate of current ?

A. 4kmph
B. 5kmph
C. 3kmph
D. 2kmph
E. None of these

Sol. Lets assume the speed of person in still water is 'x' km/hr
And also assume the speed of current to be 'y' km/hr.

According to the question,

x + y = 32*60/120 = 16

and

x - y = 48*60/720 = 4

Solving these, we get,

y = 6 km/hr.

3. Sum of two numbers is 264. If the first number is 20% more than the second number then, what is the value of second number ?

A. 140
B. 164
C. 120
D. 114
E. None of these

Sol. Lets assume the second no. to be 'x'
Then first no. will be = 1.2x

According to the question, 

1.2x + x = 264

Solving, x = 120.

4. Pipe A can fill a tank in 5 hrs and tap B can empty the same tank in 10 hrs. Both are opened simultaneously for 2 hrs. How much water is there in the tank if capacity of tank is 480 L ?

A. 100 L 
B. 96 L
C. 120 L
D. 86 L
E. None of these

Sol. Time taken to fill the tank completly when both are open,

= (1/5 - 1/10)

= 10 hrs.

It takes 10 hrs to fill = 480 L
Thus, in 2 hrs they will fill = 480*2/10 = 96 L.

5. The numerator of a fraction is increased by 25% and the denominator is decreased by 25%. If the resultant fraction is 3/4, what is the original fraction ?

A. 4/7
B. 1/4
C. 3/5
D. 1/3
E. None of these

Sol. Lets assume the original numerator to be 'x'
And original denominator to be 'y'

According to the question, 

1.25x/0.75y = 3/4

x/y = 9/20.

A. 138699
B. 139698
C. 139869
D. 139968
E. None of these

Sol. 12*2=24
24*6 =144…..(2*3 =6)
144*18 = 2592….(6*3)
2592*54 = 139968….(18*3=54)

10. 11, 12, 50, 453, ?

A. 7225
B. 7522
C. 7252
D. 7524
E. None of these

Sol. 11*1^2+1 = 11+1 = 12
12*2^2+2 = 12*4+2 = 50
50*3^2+3 = 50*9+3 = 453
453*4^2+4 = 7252

Directions (11-15): What value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following questions ?

A. 1024
B. 784
C. 984
D. 1156
E. None of these

Sol. 1024.
