Short Puzzles for SBI PO/Clerk Mains

Reasoning Questions for SBI PO/Clerk Mains 2018 


Direction (1-3): Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below: 

Monika starts walking from point A. After walking 4 km in east direction she reached to point B. Then she turned to her left and walk 3 km to reach point C. From there she turned back to A via shortest route. From there she starts walking in south direction and after walking 5 km she reached to point D, then she turned left and walks 8km to reach point E. From there she turns left and walks equal distance of distance from point A to point D and reach point F. Finally she turned right and reaches to point G after walking 4km.

Q1. What will be the shortest distance of point A to point C? 
(a) 5 km 
(b) 14 km 
(c) 8 km 
(d) 6 km 
(e) 9 km 

Q2. Which points are in a straight line? 
(a) A, D, G 
(b) C, B, E 
(c) A, B, D 
(d) B, F, G 
(e) F, C, G 

Q3. In which direction is point G with respect to point C? 
(a) West 
(b) North 
(c) North-East 
(d) South-West 
(e) South-East

Directions (4-8): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: 

There are six bikes – P, Q, R, S, T, U – parked in a row facing north direction, but not necessarily in the same order. The distances between two adjacent bikes are successive multiples of five (i.e. if the distance between the 1st and the 2nd bike is 5 m, 1st and the 3rd bike is 10 m and between 1st and 4th bike is 15 m and so on.) 
Information regarding all the bikes is: 
I. Bike R is to the immediate right of P and the distance between them is 25m. 
II. Bike T is to the left of Bike U but not immediate left and the total distance between them is 75m. 
III. The person who has Bike Q takes his bike as he wants to go to his office so he moves 32 m in south direction from there he turns to his right and moves 12 m then he turns 90° in clockwise direction and moves 16m and after walking 8 m in east direction, he finally reached to his office. 
IV. The total distance between bike T and P is a multiple of 11. 
V. There is only one bike is parked to the right of Bike Q. 
VI. If Bike S starts moving in north direction and after walking 18 m it turns to the right and covers 45m before turning to right. After that it moves 2m in the same direction. Now Bike S, Bike R and another Bike V (which is exactly between Bike S and Bike R) will be in a straight line manner. 

Q4. What is the distance between Bike R and Bike U? 
(a) 120 m 
(b) 105 m 
(c) 140 m 
(d) 85 m 
(e) 95 m 

Q5. How many Bikes are there between Bike P and Bike Q? 
(a) Two 
(b) None 
(c) More than three 
(d) One 
(e) Three 

Q6. How far is Bike V from Bike R? 
(a) 25 m 
(b) 8 m 
(c) 10 m
(d) 32 m 
(e) 27 m 



But it is given that the total distance between bike T and P is a multiple of 11. So from this case-1 will be eliminated. Now continue with case-2 there is only one place left for S. Also given that If Bike S starts moving in north direction and after walking 18 m it turns to the right and covers 45m before turning to right. After that it moves 2m in the same direction. Now Bike S, Bike R and another Bike V (which is exactly between Bike S and Bike R) will be in a straight line manner. So the final diagram will be-
S4. Ans.(b) 
Sol. 

S5. Ans.(a) 
Sol. 

S6. Ans.(b) 
Sol. 

S7. Ans.(c) 
Sol. 

S8. Ans.(d) 
Sol.

Vivek started walking from point P towards south direction after walking of 11 meter reached point Q. From there take a right turn and walked 6 meter to reached point R. From there he turnaround and walked 11 meter to reached point J. From there take a right turn and after walking of 1 meter again take a right turn and walk 10 meter to reach point M. 

Q9. What is the distance between point M to Point P? 
(a) 12 meter 
(b) 13 meter 
(c) 14 meter 
(d) Can’t be determined 
(e) None of these 


Q11. Point R is 4m north of point A. Point N is 5m west of point A. Point M is 8m south of point N. Amit starts walking in north direction from point N and covers a certain distance then he takes a right turn, and again covers certain distance to reach at point X. What is the shortest distance between point R and M and what is the direction of point X with respect to point M? 
(a) 13m, South-west 
(b) 15m, South-west 
(c) 13m, North-west 
(d) 13m, North-east 
(e) None of these
