Banking Exam Reasoning Exercise – 5 Questions
Question 1 – Syllogism
Statements:
All banks are institutions.
Some institutions are offices.
No office is a school.
Conclusions:
Some banks are offices.
Some institutions are not schools.
No bank is a school.
Options:
A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Only III follows
D. II and III follow
E. None follows
Answer: B – Only II follows
Explanation:
Some institutions are offices and no office is a school. Therefore, some institutions are definitely not schools. However, there is no definite relationship established between banks and offices or between banks and schools.
Question 2 – Coding-Decoding
If:
BANK = 2-1-14-11
and
LOAN = 12-15-1-14
The code represents the alphabetical position of each letter.
What is the code for CASH?
A. 3-1-19-8
B. 3-2-19-8
C. 2-1-18-8
D. 3-1-18-7
Answer: A – 3-1-19-8
Explanation:
C = 3
A = 1
S = 19
H = 8
Therefore:
CASH = 3-1-19-8
Question 3 – Inequality
If:
P > Q ≥ R = S < T Which conclusion is definitely true? P > S
T > R
Q > T
A. Only I
B. Only II
C. I and II
D. II and III
E. None
Answer: C – I and II
Explanation:
From:
P > Q ≥ R = S
we can conclude that P > S.
Also:
R = S < T therefore T > R.
There is no definite relationship between Q and T.
Question 4 – Blood Relations
Pointing to a woman, Rahul said:
“She is the daughter of my mother’s only son.”
How is the woman related to Rahul?
A. Sister
B. Daughter
C. Mother
D. Niece
E. Cousin
Answer: B – Daughter
Explanation:
Rahul’s mother’s only son = Rahul.
The woman is the daughter of Rahul.
Therefore, the woman is Rahul’s daughter.
Question 5 – Direction Sense
A person walks 10 metres north, then turns right and walks 8 metres. He then turns right and walks 10 metres.
In which direction is he from his starting point?
A. North
B. South
C. East
D. West
E. North-East
Answer: C – East
Explanation:
Starting point → 10 m North → 8 m East → 10 m South.
The north and south movements cancel each other.
Therefore, the person is 8 metres east of the starting point.
