Quantity I, m=n

𝑚𝑛=1

Quantity II, 𝑚𝑛>I or 𝑚𝑛<1

So, relation cannot be determined.

Hence, Option D is the Correct answer.

Question 2- While writing first N natural numbers, I missed one number. What is the number that I missed?

Statement I: The sum of all the natural number which I wrote, is 320.

Statement II: The digit I missed is an odd number.

Statement III: if I had not missed the number then sum would have been 325. RBI Grade B 2021

A. Either statement I alone or statements III are sufficient.

B. Only statement I is sufficient.

C. Only statement I and II together are sufficient.

D. Only statement I, II, and III together are sufficient.

E. None of these

Answer – Option B

Explanation -

Explanation

Sum of the first N natural number = n (n + 1)/2

Let I missed number x then,

From the statement I:

n (n + 1)/2– x = 320,

n (n + 1) – 2X = 640

Product of two consecutive number – 2x = 640

Product of two consecutive number = 640 + 2x

Email – [email protected], M - 8146207241 6|Page http://www.edutap.co.in
It means, the Product of two consecutive number should be greater than 640

The first possible number = 25 × 26 = 650 = 640 + 2x

it means, the number of terms = 25 = n

and x = 5

If we take n = 26 then

26 × 27 = 702 = 640 + 2x

In this case, x = 31 which is greater than 26 therefore only n = 25 is possible

Hence, we can conclude our answer to this statement.

From the statement II:

we can conclude only the condition that the number I missed was an odd number. To this statement it

is not possible to get a unique answer.

From the statement III:

we can conclude the sum of all the number without missing any number but we don’t have any

information about the number I missed.

Hence, option B is correct answer.

Question 3- If a, b, c and d are positive integers, then find the correct relation between quantity I and II.

Quantity I: (a-b) /( a-a) = ab x c

Quantity II: (a³ x b³) / (a x b²) = (b³ x d4) / (b x d) RBI Grade B 2021

A. Quantity I > Quantity II

B. Quantity I < Quantity II

C. Quantity I = Quantity II or no relation

D. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II

E. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II

Answer – Option C
Email – [email protected], M - 8146207241 7|Page http://www.edutap.co.in
Explanation -

Quantity I: (a-b) /( a-a) = ab x c

Explanation

(a-b) / (a-a) = ab × c

aa-b = ab × c

aa-2b = c

Quantity II: (a³ x b³) / (a x b²) = (b³ x d4) / (b x d)

(a³ × b³) / (a × b²) = (b³ × d4) / (b × d)

a3× b = b2× d3

a3 = bd3

No relation cannot be established between them.

Hence, Option C is the Correct answer.

I.4-5) Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions based on it.
A sequence of numbers is given to you as below:
18 (A) (B) (C) (D) 124
Where, A = P² - Q
B – A = (P + 1) ² + Q
C – B = (P + 2) ² + Q
D – C = (P + 3) ² + Q
P = HCF of L and M, where L and M are co – primes
Q = Smaller root of K² - 2K – 8 = 0

Question 4- How many numbers are divisible by 3, in the given sequence? RBI Grade B 2021
A. 2
B. 4
C. 3
D.6
E. None of these

Option -C
Calculation
Email – [email protected], M - 8146207241 8|Page http://www.edutap.co.in
Explanation-
P = HCF of L and M, where L and M are co – primes
P = HCF of two co-primes i.e., 1.
Q = smaller root of K² - 2K – 8 = 0
K² - 2K – 8 = 0
K² - 4K+ 2K– 8 = 0
K (K –4) + 2(K – 4) = 0
(K - 4) (K + 2) = 0
K = 4, -2

Q is -2.
A = P² - Q
A = (1)2 – (-2) = 3
B – A = (P + 1) ² + Q
B – 3 = (1 + 1)2 + (-2)
B=4–2+3=5
C – B = (P + 2) ² + Q
C – 5 = (1 + 2)2 + (-2)
C = 9 – 2 + 5 = 12
D – C = (P + 3) ² + Q
D – 12 = (1 + 3)2 + (-2)
D = 16 – 2 + 12
D = 26
Series 18 (A) (B) (C) (D) 124
In 18, 3, 5, 12, 26, 124
only 3 numbers are divisible by 3.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Question 5- Find the value of (A² + 3B + 5C – 4D). RBI Grade B 2021

A. – 20
B. - 10
C. - 18
D. - 30
E. None of these
Option-A

Calculation

P = HCF of two co-primes i.e 1

Email – [email protected], M - 8146207241 9|Page http://www.edutap.co.in
P =1
Q = smaller root of K² - 2K – 8 = 0
= K² - 2K – 8 = 0
= K² - 4K+ 2K– 8 = 0
= K (K –4) + 2(K – 4) = 0
= (K - 4) (K + 2) = 0
= K = 4, -2

Q is -2.
A = (1)2 – (-2) = 3
B – A = (P + 1) ² + Q
B – 3 = (1 + 1)2 + (-2)
B=4–2+3=5
C – B = (P + 2) ² + Q
C – 5 = (1 + 2)2 + (-2)
C = 9 – 2 + 5 = 12
D – C = (P + 3) ² + Q
D – 12 = (1 + 3)2 + (-2)
D = 16 – 2 + 12
D = 26

= A² + 3B + 5C – 4D
= 32 + 3(5) + 5(12) – 4(26)
= 9 + 15 + 60 – 104
= -20
Hence, option A is the Correct answer.

I.6-7) Each question below contains a statement followed by Quantity I and Quantity II. You have to study the
information along with the question and compare the value derived from Quantity I and Quantity II, then
answer:
2 𝑎4
Question 6- Quantity I: Value of ‘p’ such that (√𝑎𝑝 ) = √𝑎16 RBI Grade B 2022

Quantity II: 1

A. Quantity I > Quantity II

B. Quantity I < Quantity II

C. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II
Email – [email protected], M - 8146207241 10 | P a g e http://www.edutap.co.in
D. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II

E. Quantity I = Quantity II or no relation

Option-B

Calculation

Quantity I:
2 𝑎4
(√𝑎𝑝 ) = √𝑎16

𝑎4
→ 𝑎𝑝 =
𝑎8
1
→ 𝑎 𝑝 = 𝑎4

→ 𝑎𝑝 = 𝑎−4

So, p = -4

Quantity I = p = -4

Quantity II:

Quantity II = 1

Quantity I < Quantity II

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

E. Quantity I = Quantity II or no relation

Option-A

Calculation

Quantity I:

𝑎3 − 𝑏3
– 3ab
𝑎−𝑏

Note: a > 1 > b > 0

Let a =2 and b = 0.5

(23 – 0.53)/ (2-0.5) - 3×2×0.5

(8-0.125)/ (1.5) – 3

(7.875)/ (1.5) -3

5.25 -3 = 2.25

Quantity I = 2.25

You can also solve Quantity I by applying Formula

𝑎3 − 𝑏3
– 3ab
𝑎−𝑏

Since, 𝑎3 − 𝑏 3 = (𝑎 − 𝑏)(𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 )

𝑎3 − 𝑏3 (𝑎−𝑏)(𝑎2 +𝑎𝑏+ 𝑏2 )
– 3ab = – 3ab
𝑎−𝑏 𝑎−𝑏

→ (𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 ) – 3ab

→ 𝑎2 − 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2

→ (𝑎 − 𝑏)2

Since, a > 1 > b > 0

→ (𝑎 − 𝑏)2 > 0 i.e., (𝑎 − 𝑏)2 will always be positive.

So, Quantity I will be positive.

Quantity II:

1− −
𝑎 𝑏

Since, 1 > b
1
So, 1 < 𝑏

Let a= 2 and b = 0.5

1 1

𝑎 𝑏

1 1
1- 2 - 0.5

1-0.5 -2

-1.5
1 1
i.e., 1 − − <0
𝑎 𝑏

So, Quantity II will be negative.

Quantity I > Quantity II

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 8- A natural number, N, is divisible by at most two distinct divisors of 12. What will the HCF of all
possible values of N be? RBI Grade B 2023

A. 2

B. 1

C. 0

D. 3

E. 4

Answer – Option B

Explanation -

All divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 itself.

Email – [email protected], M - 8146207241 13 | P a g e http://www.edutap.co.in

Now, if N is divisible by 12, then it is automatically divisible by all other divisors. So, it cannot be divisible by at
most two divisors.

So, N is not divisible by 12.

Similarly, N cannot be divisible by 6 or 4.

In other perspective, N can ONLY be divisible by the prime factors of 12.

So, N can be divisible by 2 or 3 but not by both.

N can be 1 also.

So, possible values of N can be 1, 2a, and 3b where a and b are natural numbers.

So, the HCF of 1, 2a, and 3b is 1.

Hence, option B is correct.

B. 4

C. 7

D. 5

E. 8

Option -A

Calculation

Solution:

((728.94) ² × (27.11) ³× 35 × (9.04)4) ÷ (243.18) ² = (80.98)?

{(36) ² × (33)3 × 35 × (32) 4} ÷ (35) ² = 81?

{312 × 39 ×35 × 38} ÷ 310 = 34x

3(12+9+5+8) × 3-10 = 34x

334-10 = 34x

324 = 34x

24 = 4x

x = 24/4 = 6

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

D. 7

E. None of these

Option-B

Solution:

x+y+z = k

z<y<x k

123 6

124 7

134 8

234 9

135 9

126 9

The smallest number in the options is 7.

So, let's work with seven.

7 can be expressed as 4+2+1

You try any other combination, it won't be unique

Let’s try 8

8=5+2+1

8=4+3+1

So, you have more than 1 combination for 8

Thus 8 is the smallest number which does not have unique value.

Question 11- The sum of five consecutive even number is equal to 230. What is the sum of the largest number

A. 1684

B. 1464

C. 1784

D. 1844

E. None of these

Option-E

Calculation

Let the consecutive five even numbers be x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8

Sum = x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 5x + 20

According to given 5x + 20 = 230

5x = 230 – 20 = 210

x = 210/5 = 42

x + 8 = 42 + 8 = 50

50 + (42)2 = 50 + 1764 = 1814

Hence, option E is the Correct answer.
