IBPS RRB Clerk | Preliminary Examination

IBPS RRB Clerk: full-length mock (80 questions)

A full-length IBPS RRB Clerk mock modelled on the Preliminary Examination: 80 original questions across Reasoning and Numerical Ability, weighted towards moderate and hard, each with a worked solution.

Before you start

80 questions in 45 minutes on a single clock — a full-length paper modelled on the Preliminary Examination.
Each question carries one mark; one fourth of a mark is deducted for a wrong answer, and unanswered questions carry no penalty.
The difficulty is deliberately weighted towards moderate and hard (about 60 of 80) so the set stays useful on repeat attempts. Every question is original with a worked solution shown after you submit.

Sample questions with worked solutions

A few questions from this test, with the answer key and the method behind it. The full set of 80 runs under a timer, and every solution is on the analysis screen once you submit.

Reasoning Ability · solved example

Statements: F = B < D ≤ C ≤ E Conclusions: I. F ≥ C II. D ≥ F Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?

Only I follows
Only II followsCorrect
Both I and II follow
Neither I nor II follows
Either I or II follows

Solution

Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is true. Hence: only ii follows.

Quantitative Aptitude · solved example

In each, solve for x and y and give the relation: I. x² − 8x + 12 = 0 II. y² − 1y − 132 = 0

x > y
x < y
x ≥ y
x ≤ y
no fixed relationCorrect

Solution

The roots are x = 6, 2 and y = -11, 12. Comparing every x with every y gives "no fixed relation".

Reasoning Ability · solved example

Find the next term in the series: B, G, L, Q, ?

VCorrect
O
Z
A
H

Solution

Each letter advances by 5 places in the alphabet, so the term after Q is V.

Reasoning Ability · solved example

A person starts from a point and walks 9 km towards the south, then 1 km towards the west, then 3 km towards the south, then 8 km towards the west. In which direction is the person now from the starting point?

South-east
South-westCorrect
North-east
North
North-west

Solution

The net movement is 9 km west and 12 km south, which places the person to the South-west of the start.

Reasoning Ability · solved example

7 people — P, Q, R, S, T, U, V — sit in a row facing north. 5 people sit between R and S. 1 person sits between U and V. 3 people sit between U and S. S sits 7th from the left end. T sits 4th from the left end. 4 people sit between R and Q.

Who sits 1st from the left end?

S
Q
U
T
RCorrect

Solution

Working through the clues fixes the order as R, P, U, T, V, Q, S from the left, so the 1st person is R.

Because a blank carries no penalty, guessing only pays when you can eliminate at least two options. The analysis screen after the test shows you exactly where guessing cost you marks.
