(E) None of the above
Ans.56 (A)
IBPS RRB Scale 3 Previous Paper
www.BankExamsToday.com Page 18
From statement I:
Number of students like all the three subjects = 6
Physics and Chemistry = 4
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From Statement II:
Only Maths = 7
Only Physics = 5
Only Chemistry = 8
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From I and II:
Number of students like both Physics and Maths = 20 - (6 + 5 + 4) = 5
Number of students like both Maths and Chemistry = 22 - (7 + 6 + 5) = 4
Total number of students like Chemistry = (8 + 6 + 4 + 4) = 22
Ques.57: A lent Rs.1200 each to two of his friends B and C. What is the rate of interest?
Statement I: Amount repaid by B was Rs.1500

(A) Both I and II
(B) Only I
(C) Only II
(D) Neither I nor II
(E) None of the above
Ans.57: (D)
From statement I:
B repaid = 1500
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From statement II:
C repaid = Rs.1600
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
Time period is not given, so both I and II is not sufficient to the answer the question.
Ques.58: What is the area of rectangle?
Statement I: The breadth of the rectangle is 75% of the radius of the circle.
Statement II: The radius of the circle is equal to the side of the square whose area is 144 sq cm.

(A) All the three
(B) Only I
(C) Only III or only I and II
(D) Either I or III
(E) None of the above
ans.58 (A)
From statement I:
Breadth = 75r/100
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From Statement II:
Area of square = 144
Side = 12
Radius = 12
IBPS RRB Scale 3 Previous Paper
www.BankExamsToday.com Page 19
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From Statement III:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 38
l + b = 19
So, Statement III alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From I, II and III:
b = (3/4) × 12 = 9
l = 19 9 = 10
Area of rectangle = 9 × 10 = 90 cm

(A) Both I and II
(B) Only I
(C) Only II
(D) Either I or II
(E) None of the above
Ans.59 (B)
From Statement I:
1/A + 1/B + 1/C = 1/24
1/B + 1/C + 1/D = 1/18
1/A + 1/D = 1/30 ---- (1)
1/A - 1/D = 1/24 - 1/18
1/A - 1/D = -1/72 ---- (2)
Solve the equation (1) and (2), we get
2/A = 1/30 - 1/72
2/A = 7/360
1/A = 7/720
A = 720/7 days
So, Statement I alone is sufficient to the answer the question.
From statement II:
1/A + 1/B + 1/D = 1/15
1/B + 1/C = 1/20
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer the question.

1x4 is divisible by 11
So x can be 5.
So, Statement I is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From statement II:
y6z is divisible by 9 and 8.
So the number can be either 360 or 864.
So, Statement II is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From statement III: Unit digit is greater than 1.
So, Statement III is not sufficient to the answer the question.
From I, II and III:
From the question 1x4y6z is divisible by 8
Number can be 154864
So, statements I, II and III are necessary to the answer the question.

Ques: 111. A dishonest dealer purchases goods at 20% discount of the cost price of Rs. x and also cheats his
wholesaler by getting 20% extra through false weighing, per kg. Then he marks up his goods by 80% of x, but he gives
a discount of 25% besides he cheats his customer by weighing 10% less than the required. What is his overall profit
percentage?
a) 125%
b) 100%
c) 98.66%
d) 120%
e) None of these
Ans. Option A
Let the actual cost price of an article be Rs.1 (in place of x)
Now, he purchases goods worth Rs.120 and pays Rs.80, since 20% discount is allowed.
So, the CP =80/120 = 2/3
Again MP = 180, SP = 135 (since 25% discount)
IBPS RRB Scale 3 Previous Paper
www.BankExamsToday.com Page 49
Thus, the trader sells goods worth Rs.90 instead of 100 g and charges Rs.135. Therefore the effective SP =135/90 =3/2
So, profit % = (3/2 - 2/3 ) / (2/3) × 100 = 125%
Ques: 112. A trader mixes three varieties of groundnuts costing Rs.50, Rs.20 and Rs.30 per kg in the ratio 2 : 4 : 3 in
terms of weight, and sells the mixture at Rs.33 per kg. What percentage of profit does he make?
a) 8%
b) 9%
c) 10%
d) 11%
e) None of these
Ans. Option C
Suppose he bought 2 kg, 4 kg and 3 kg of the three varieties.
C.P. of 9 kg = Rs. (2 × 50 + 4 × 20 + 3 × 30) = Rs.270
S.P. of 9 kg = Rs. (9 × 33) = Rs.297
So, profit % = [27/270× 100]% = 10%
Ques: 113: A sum of money trebles itself in 15 years 6 months. In how many years would it double itself?
a) 6 years 3 months
b) 7 years 9 months
c) 8 years 3 months
d) 9 years 6 months
e) None of these
Ans. 113: (B)
Let sum = x. Then, S.I. = 2x, Time = 15 (1/2) years = 31 / 2 years
So, rate = [ 100 × 2x / x × (31/2)]% = 200 / 31%
Now, sum = x, S.I. = x, Rate = 200 / 31%
So, time = 100 × x / x × (200/31) = 155 / 20 years = 7 years 9 months
Ques 114. Rambo took a loan of Rs. 1200 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Rs.

Explanation: A database management system (DBMS) is a software package designed to define, manipulate, retrieve
and manage data in a database. A DBMS generally manipulates the data itself, the data format, field names, record
structure and file structure. It also defines rules to validate and manipulate this data. A DBMS relieves users of framing
programs for data maintenance.

Ques: 187. Which security model is used in a peer-to-peer network?
(A) Password-protected Shares
(B) Access Control Lists
(C) Share-level Security
(D) User-level Security
(E) None of these
Explanation: The only security on a peer-to-peer network is at the share level. When users create network shares, they
may implement no security, which means that anyone can have full access to the share, or they may assign a password
to the share. Depending on which networking platform you use, a user may be able to assign one password to a share
for read-only access and another password for full control over the share.

(C) Infinite Loop
(D) Feedback Loop
(E) None of these
Explanation: Feedback occurs when outputs of a system are routed back as inputs as part of a chain of cause-and-
effect that forms a circuit or loop. The system can then be said to feed back into itself. The notion of cause-and-effect
has to be handled carefully when applied to feedback systems:
Simple causal reasoning about a feedback system is difficult because the first system influences the second and
second system influences the first, leading to a circular argument. This makes reasoning based upon cause and
effect tricky, and it is necessary to analyze the system as a whole.
Ques: 190. The person who writes and tests computer programs is called a
(A) Programmer
(B) Computer Scientist
(C) Software Engineer
(D) Project Developer
(E) None of these
Explanation: A software engineer is a person who applies the principles of software engineering to the design,
development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of computer software.
Ques: 191. ________ is the process of carrying commands.
(A) Fetching
(B) Storing
(C) Executing
(D) Decoding
(E) None of these
Explanation: Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual
machine executes the instructions of a computer program. Each instruction of a program is a description of a specific
action to be carried out in order for a specific problem to be solved; as instructions of a program and therefore the
actions they describe are being carried out by an executing machine, specific effects are produced in accordance to
the semantics of the instructions being executed.
Ques: 192. The simultaneous processing of two or more programs by multiple processors is
(A) Multiprogramming
(B) Multitasking
(C) Time-Sharing
(D) Multiprocessing
(E) None of these
Explanation: In a multiprogramming system there are one or more programs loaded in main memory which are ready
to execute. Only one program at a time is able to get the CPU for executing its instructions while all the others are
waiting their turn. The main idea of multiprogramming is to maximize the use of CPU time. Indeed, suppose the

currently running process is performing an I/O task. Then, the OS may interrupt that process and give the control to one
of the other in-main-memory programs that are ready to execute.
Ques: 193. The operating system determines the manner in which all of the following occurs except
(A) User creation of a document
(B) User interaction with the processor
(C) Printer Output
(D) Data displayed on the monitor
(E) None of these
Explanation: An operating system (OS) is system that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides
common services for computer programs. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system
and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing and other
resources.
Ques: 194. A disk's content that is recorded at the time of manufacture and that cannot be changed or erased by the
user is
(A) Memory only
(B) Write only
(C) Read only
(D) Run only
(E) None of these
Explanation: Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic
devices. Data stored in ROM can only be modified slowly, with difficulty, or not at all, so it is mainly used to
store firmware (software that is closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely to need frequent updates) or application
software in plug-in cartridges.
Ques: 195. What is the difference between a CD-ROM and a CD-RW?
(A) They are the same just two different terms used by different manufacturers
(B) A CD-ROM can be written to and a CD-RW cannot
(C) A CD-RW can be written to, but a CD-ROM can only be read only
(D) A CD-ROM holds more information than a CD-RW
(E) None of these
Explanation: CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read-Only Memory) is a drive which reads aluminum-coated round plastic discs.
The CD-ROM disc is 12 x 12 cm with a width of 0.1cm.
CD-RW (Compact Disk ReWritable) drives not only have capabilities to read the data on the CDs but also can write the
data to the disc, i.e. CD-R or CD-RW with different reading and writing speed.
