IBPS Bank PO CWE -Detaled Analysis of the Objective Test :
(1) Quantitative Aptitude
The type of questions in this section were on lines similar to the questions that have appeared in the different Bank PO exams earlier.The two question types which did not appear in this paper, as compared to the earlier Bank PO exams, are (a) column-wise comparisons of roots of a quadratic and (b) Data sufficiency.
There were 10 questions based on simplification and approximation. At a glance these questions appeared to be easy and every one would have started solving these first. But when students got down to solving them they would have found them to be lengthy and time consuming. A good student would have attempted 6 to 7 questions in 10 minutes.
There were 5 questions on series. The questions involved finding the wrong number in the given sequence. The students who were aware of this question type, would have solved them comfortably.
3 to 4 correct attempts in 5 minutes is considered to be good.
Coming to the individual questions, there were 10 questions, from various topics like Simple Equations, Ratio, Percentages, Simple Interest-Compound Interest and Averages. The questions were aimed at testing basic conceptual knowledge.
Data Interpretation, there were 4 sets of 5 questions each. Two sets were based on the data given in tabular form, one set on pie chart and one set on Bar graph. Of these the set on Bar graph was very easy. All the five questions on Bar graph were direct and simple without any lengthy calculations. The students who had practiced the basic question types that appear in DI , concepts of percentages and speed maths techniques would have had an added advantage. An attempt of 2 to 3 sets in 15 minutes is considered good.
The following table gives the topic wise break up of the questions asked in this section.
(2)IBPS Bank PO CWE anlysis of English Language
The Verbal Ability section presented some questions different from what have been seen so far in Bank PO exams.
The section had a total of 50 questions in 6 types, with a total of 25 marks. There were:
Five Para-completion questions (Verbal Reasoning). These were questions where a paragraph was presented with a blank in place of a sentence that had been removed. From the choices given, and keeping in mind the context of the paragraph, the candidate had to pick the sentence best suited to the blank.
Five Sentence equivalence questions (Vocabulary usage). These were questions where a sentence was presented with a blank in place of a word that had been removed. From the choices given, and keeping in mind the context of the sentence, the candidate had to pick 2 words either of which would fit to the blank.
Five questions on synonymous words/phrases (Vocabulary). These were questions where a given word was followed by choices that present words/phrases. From the choices the candidate had to pick all those that were synonymous with the headword. These 3 question types have not appeared in earlier Bank PO exams.
.
Five Para-formation questions (jumbled paragraph),of 7 sentences each. In earlier exams, such questions had upto 6 sentences.
15 questions on Cloze test (a paragraph with blanks to be filled). In earlier exams, cloze test presented upto 10 questions.
15 Reading Comprehension questions (7+8) based on 2 passages.In earlier exams, a passage had upto 15 questions, including 6 vocabulary-based questions. This time, though the passages were of the size previously seen, about 600-700 words, each had 7 to 8 questions, including 2 vocabulary-based questions in each of the passages. The passages were on economic and developmental
aspects, presented a lot of detail, and required careful reading.
While the vocabulary-based questions were moderately difficult, overall, the section was difficult. It required a reasonable level of familiarity with English - the sort of familiarity that comes with regular reading. Clearly, the candidates who had been reading extensively, apart from practice in specific areas, would have been able to perform well.
An attempt of 30-32 questions, with not more than two or three wrong, is a good score.

2. Tap T1 can fill an empty tank in 9 hours. Two emptying taps , tap T2 and T3 can empty it in 18 hours and 27 hours respectively, if they are fitted at the bottom of the tank. But tap T2 is fitted at 1/3rd of the height of the tank and Tap T3 is fitted at 2/3rd of the height of the tank. In how much time will the tank be filled, if all the three taps are opened simultaneously when the tank is empty?
a) 27 hours b) 26 2/3 hours c) 251/2 hours d) 24 hours e) none of these
Till the level reaches 1/3rd of the tank, neitherof the emptying taps will function.
So,the filling tap will take 9 x 1/3 = 3 hours to fill 1/3rd of the tank
From here till 2/3rd of the height is reached, tap T1 and tap T2 are functional.
1/3 x 1(1/9-1/18) = 6 hours
The last 1/3rd of the tank, all the three taps will function they will fill tank in
1/3 * (1/(1/9-1/18– 1/27) = 18 hours
So, a total of ( 3+ 6 + 18) = 27 hours. Choice (1)
