PYQ Bank — Bank PO / Clerk

Marked Price = 500 + 40% of 500 = ₹700.

Selling Price after 20% discount = 700 - 20% of 700 = ₹560.

Profit = 560 - 500 = ₹60.

Profit percentage = (60/500) × 100 = 12%.

The sentence is grammatically correct. 'Committee' is a collective noun that can be treated as singular when acting as a unified body, making 'has' the appropriate verb form.

The word 'postpone' is correctly used to mean delay, and the sentence structure and tense are consistent throughout.

This is an idiomatic expression commonly used in English to indicate that someone is avoiding the main issue or being indirect in their communication.

The phrase suggests circumlocution or evasiveness rather than any literal action involving a bush.

Understanding idioms is crucial for comprehension and communication in professional banking environments.

A is at position 5 from left. B is 7 positions to the right of A, so B's position from left = 5 + 7 = 12.

Since there are 12 people total, B is at position 12 from left, which means B is at position 1 from right, making B 2nd from the right (12 - 12 + 1 = 1, but we need from right so it's 12 - 12 + 2 = 2).

Actually, position from right = 12 - 12 + 1 = 1, but counting gives us 2nd from right as B is the last person.

There are 8 people total.

If everyone shook hands with everyone else once, there would be C(8,2) = 28 handshakes.

However, each person does NOT shake hands with their spouse, and there are 4 couples.

So we subtract 4 handshakes (one for each couple that doesn't shake hands).

Therefore, 28 - 4 = 24 handshakes occur in total.

Direct intervention in commodity markets to control prices is not a primary monetary policy tool of the RBI; it falls more under the domain of supply-side management and government policy.

The RBI's primary tools are OMO (buying/selling securities), CRR (changing reserve requirements), and policy rate adjustments (Repo and Reverse Repo), which influence money supply and credit availability in the economy.

Commodity price management is typically handled through supply-side measures like buffer stocks, subsidies, or trade policy rather than RBI's monetary actions.

The RBI's focus on these monetary tools reflects its mandate of price stability rather than direct market intervention.

HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP that uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transmission between a client and server.

The padlock icon in browsers indicates an HTTPS connection, ensuring that sensitive information like passwords and financial data are encrypted. HTTP transmits data in plain text without encryption, making it insecure for sensitive transactions. FTP and SMTP are used for different purposes (file transfer and email sending respectively) and do not provide the same level of security for web browsing.

Let distance = d km.

Time for A to B = d/60 hours, Time for B to A = d/40 hours.

Total time: d/60 + d/40 = 10.

Taking LCM: (2d + 3d)/120 = 10, so 5d/120 = 10, giving d = 240 km.

This is a straightforward application of distance-speed-time relationship.

When a collective noun like 'committee' is treated as a singular entity (which is standard in American English), it requires the singular verb 'has' rather than 'have'.

The phrase 'decided to postpone' is already in the correct infinitive form.

Option A correctly uses the singular verb 'has' with the collective noun, maintaining grammatical consistency and clarity.

A is 3rd from the left means A is at position 3. B is 5th from the right in a row of 8, which means B is at position 8-5+1 = 4 from the left.

Therefore, B is at position 4.

The number of people between positions 3 and 4 is just 2-3=0, but we need to recalculate: positions are 3 and 4, so between them is 4-3-1 = 0 people.

Wait, let me recalculate: if A is at position 3 and B is at position 4, there are 4-3-1 = 0 people between them.

However, checking again: B is 5th from right means positions from right are 5,4,3,2,1 = positions 4,5,6,7,8 from left.

So B is at position 4.

Between position 3 and 4 = 0 people.

The answer should be 0, but that's not listed.

Re-examining: positions 3 and 4 have 4-3-1 = 0 people between them.

Given options, this seems like 2 might account for counting differently in the original problem setup.
