SBI PO Exam

1. Direction: Read the following
information carefully and answer the
questions that follow:
Renewable Energy (RE) is the future.
With that said, one can argue that the
future has arrived, in parts at least.
Worldwide acceptance towards green
energy is giving the sustainable energy
sector more market share every year.
The growth is consistent, with each year
out-performing the previous, leading
renewable energy to account for 1/3rd
of global energy capacity.
It’s fair to state that the growth
trajectory is incredible, and considering
that it took only a little more than a just
decade to reach this position, we could
call it _____________. However, the
most important question is, is this
satisfactory? The goal of green energy
transition is to solve growing energy
scarcity and reduce dependency on fossil
fuels in order to move towards a fully
sustainable energy landscape. Therefore,
to identify success, we need to compare
renewable energy growth with the
current scenario.
According to WHO’s estimates, currently,
more than 7 million people die every year
from pollution, up from 4.2 million in
2016. Fossil fuel consumption has
increased globally from 94,462/twh in
2000 to 1,33,853/twh now. The rise in
population (currently 7.7 billion) indicates
a steady growth in energy demand
worldwide. In comparison, the fact that
renewable energy took a decade to
become 1/3 of energy capacity is not the
ideal pace, considering we might not have
two more decades to wait for RE to catch
up.

Despite its (###Q1###) and
inaccuracies in early iterations, there’s no
denying that AI is transforming our daily
lives at an incredible pace and most of the
time the features, and broadly speaking,
the (###Q2###) it offers are
extremely useful. But in terms of its
ability to completely transform the
energy industry (and specifically oilfield)
economics it’s important to consider why
much of the early AI conversation needs
to be tempered with a degree of
objectivity. The reality is one of marginal
gains in many areas - much like creating
a good sports team, over time these gains
add up rather than causing
(###Q3###) results everywhere. And
this is especially the case within the
energy industry. Some conversations in
the energy industry suggest that AI can
now (###Q4###) everything in one
giant leap. The fact is, as a highly
valuable additional factor, it can and will
provide significant (###Q5###)
improvements. But it’s unlikely to
radically transform everything overnight.

###ANSWERS###

1. Ans. B.
In the context of the passage, stating that
the growth trajectory is incredible is just
or appropriate in the given
circumstances, considering that it took
only a little more than a just decade to
reach this position. The appropriate word
among the given options is 'reasonable'.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Diligent: having or showing care and
conscientiousness in one's work or duties.
Prejudiced: having or showing a dislike or
distrust that is derived from prejudice;
bigoted.
2. Ans. A.
In the context of the passage, 'Account
for' implies that of the total global energy
capacity, the part contributed by
renewable energy is one-third. So, the
correct answer is option A.
3. Ans. A.
The statement mentions that 'the growth
trajectory is incredible' and that
happened during a very short span of
time. Overall, the growth and
achievement can be considered
'remarkable or exceptional'. The most
appropriate among the given options is
'phenomenal'. So, the correct answer is
option A.
4. Ans. A.
Only statement (I) supports the author’s
claim that the rate of growth in
Renewable Energy is not satisfactory. It
mentions that fossil fuels are still a
popular choice. This means alternative
energy options are not available, thus
supporting the author’s claim.
5. Ans. B.
It is mentioned in the passage,
“Worldwide acceptance towards green
energy is giving the sustainable energy
sector more market share every year”.
Statement III mentions the opposite and
thus is incorrect in context of the given
passage
6. Ans. E.
It has been mentioned in the passage
that “The goal of green energy transition
is to solve growing energy scarcity and
reduce dependency on fossil fuels in order
to move towards a fully sustainable
energy landscape”. The two points have
been mentioned in A and B. So, the
correct option is E.
7. Ans. D.
The statement “one can argue that the
future has arrived, in parts at least”
implies that Renewable Energy has made
it presence felt, but it is not as much as it
is required to be. The same idea has been
mentioned in option D, which is the
correct answer.
8. Ans. C.
Only A and E can be connected to make a
grammatically correct and meaningful
statement.
"Market research has shown us that
people are loyal to a brand not prices".
So, the correct answer is option .
9. Ans. B.
Only A and E can be connected to make a
grammatically correct and meaningful
statement. Anything that is a rumour can
be said to uncertain or doubtful truth.
"The rumours of petrol shortage turned
out to be false".
Options B and D cannot connect as the
sentence ends with the verb 'make'. It
cannot be followed by the verb 'is'.

So, the correct answer is option B.
10. Ans. C.
A-E, B-F and C-D can be joined together
to form a meaningful sentence. But in the
options only A-E has been given. So, the
correct answer is C.
The correct sentences are:
I) Countries are willing to do anything to
avoid recession.
II) The effects of afforestation on
biodiversity need to be analysed.
III) The scheme seeks to ensure a toilet
in all households.
11. Ans. E.
C and F when joined together make a
meaningful sentence but it is
grammatically incorrect. The verb that
follows ‘does’ should be used in its base
form.
The correct sentences are:

16

I) A jam-packed business trip doesn’t
allow a lot of flexibility with time.
II) It is scientifically proven that running
is beneficial for health.
III) Traveling with co-workers is a great
chance to get to know them on a deeper
level.
12. Ans. E.
B-D and C-F can be joined to make
grammatically correct and contextually
meaningful sentences, but the
combinations have not been provided in
the options. So, the correct option is E.
The policy emphasizes on increasing
farmer’s income.
We need to teach children to be gentle
towards fellow citizens.
13. Ans. D.
All A & F, B & D and C & E can be joined
to make grammatically correct and
contextually meaningful sentences.
The correct sentences are:
The problems of poverty, homelessness
and unemployment are all
interconnected.
The objective of the exercise is to nurture
the imagination of children.
The villagers are furious about the
decision to close the railway station.
14. Ans. B.
Look around: to walk around a room,
building, or place and see what is there.
When followed by the preposition 'for',
the context changes to something
particular such as 'the calculator' in the
given sentence. So, the correct answer is
option B.
Look out: to warn someone to be careful
or to be vigilant.
Look up: to try to find a particular piece
of information by looking in a book or
on a list, or by using a computer.
Look by: look at a point next to.
Look on: watch without getting involved.
15. Ans. A.
The sentence implies that the admin has
taken steps to do something to the
education system. 'Taking steps' for a
system such as education means that the
steps will be positive. Out of the given
options, the most appropriate option is
'revamp' which means 'give new and
improved form, structure, or
appearance'. 'Improved' being in past
tense is inappropriate. So, the correct
answer is option A.
Rehearse: mentally prepare or recite.
Deteriorate: become progressively
worse.
16. Ans. E.
The use of 'despite' indicates requirement
of contrasting situations in the sentence.
One is 'country remains poor', so the
other one should be its richness in natural
resources. The most appropriate word
depicting the state of India i.e. rich in
natural resources is 'being'. So, the
correct answer is option E.
17. Ans. D.
The blank requires to be filled with an
adjective (as indicated by superlative
degree 'one of the most'). Among the
given options, only 'overcharged' which
means someone or something that
charges you more than it is mandated,
can be a suitable response. So, the
correct answer is option D.
Iterative: relating to or involving
iteration, especially of a mathematical or
computational process.
Profiteer: make or seek to make an
excessive or unfair profit, especially
illegally.
Cashing: give or obtain notes or coins for
(a cheque or money order).
18. Ans. A.
The verb 'to be' is the fundamental verb
used to indicate the existence of an entity
(person, object, abstraction) or to relate
an entity to its qualities or
characteristics. In the given sentence,
the officer wanted/wished to be a
seafarer (a person who regularly travels
by sea; a sailor). So, the most
appropriate option is A.
19. Ans. B.
The sentence mentions that in a
particular case, the proposal should be
rejected. Contextually, this will only be
feasible if the proposal is not beneficial.
So, the only word appropriate for the
blank is ‘harms’.
20. Ans. B.
The error is in the second part of the
sentence.

17

We need to replace 'he' with 'they'. The
antecedent being referred to by the
pronoun is ‘leaders’ which is a plural
noun. So, the use of singular pronoun ‘he’
will be incorrect.
So, the correct answer is option B.
21. Ans. C.
The error is in the third part of the
sentence.
We need to remove 'yet'. The word
"although" starts a two-clause statement.
The word "although" already includes the
meaning "but/yet" for the second clause.
So adding "but/yet" will be redundant.
So, the correct answer is option C.
22. Ans. D.
The error is in the fourth part of the
sentence.
We need to replace ' flexible' (adjective)
with 'flexibility' (noun). We need a noun
to maintain a parallel structure.
So, the correct answer is option D.
23. Ans. B.
The error is in the second part of the
sentence.
We need to replace 'have' with 'has'. The
subject ‘country’ is singular, so we need
singular auxiliary verb ‘has’ in place of
plural form ‘have’.
So, the correct answer is option B.
24. Ans. A.
The error is in the first part of the
sentence.
We need to replace 'have' with 'having'.
So, the correct answer is option A.
25. Ans. E.
The sentence is grammatically and
contextually correct.
So, the correct answer is option E.
26. Ans. B.
The most appropriate word is ‘Faults’.
So, the correct answer is option B.
27. Ans. E.
The most appropriate word is ‘Benefits’.
So, the correct answer is option E.
28. Ans. A.
The most appropriate word is
‘Instantaneous’.
So, the correct answer is option A.
29. Ans. C.
The most appropriate word is ‘Transform’.
So, the correct answer is option C.
30. Ans. D.

36. Ans. A.
A) (5x + 2y = 31) × 3
B) (3x + 7y = 36) × 5
15x + 6y = 93 ..... (i)
15x+35y= 180 .... (ii)
On solving both equations, we get
x = 5 and y = 3
so, X > Y
37. Ans. D.
A) x2 – 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x(x – 4) – 3(x – 4) = 0
⇒ (x – 4)(x – 3) = 0
So, x = 3, 4
B ) y2 – 9y + 20 = 0
⇒ y(y – 5) – 4(x – 5) = 0
⇒ (y – 5)(y – 4) = 0
So, y= 4, 5
Hence, X ≤ Y
38. Ans. E.
A) (x + 1)2 = 122

18

⇒ (x + 1)2 – 122 = 0
⇒ (x + 1 – 12)(x + 1 + 12) = 0
⇒ (x – 11)(x + 13) = 0
x = 11, –13
B) y2 + 2y – 143 = 0
⇒ y2 + 13y – 11y – 143 = 0
⇒ y(y + 13) – 11(y + 13) = 0
⇒ (y + 13)(y – 11) = 0
y = 11, – 13
So, no relation can be established.
39. Ans. C.
6x2 + 5x + 1 = 0
⇒ 6x2 + (3 + 2)x + 1 = 0
⇒ 3x(2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 0
⇒ (3x + 1)(2x + 1) = 0
⇒ x = –1/3, –1/2
4y2 + 4y + 1 = 0
⇒4y2 + (2 + 2)y + 1 = 0
⇒ (2y + 1)2 = 0
⇒ y = –1/2
So, X ≥ Y
40. Ans. C.
x2 – 16x + 64 = 0
⇒ (x – 8)2 =0
⇒ x = 8
Y2 = 64
⇒ Y = ± 8
So, X ≥ Y

Let CP of the Article 100x Rs.
So SP of first Article at 12% gain= 112x
Rs.
And SP of second Article at 18% gain =
118x Rs.
ATQ,
118x – 112x= 90
6x = 90
X= 15
So CP of the Article = 100x =1500 Rs.
